Who do you want to be when you grow up?

[SEE TITLE] When I was about 7 years old, I would answer "dentist". I just loved the smell and look of a dentist's office, latex gloves and all the little tools and lights. Not to mention the huge sunglasses that I eagerly put on. So in conclusion, unlike so many other kids I loved going to the dentist & orthodontist and I was sure to want to become one of "them" when I grow up.
But now its different (especially after the torture I went through when I had my braces up AND down ): my dreams of pursuing in the art of teeth-examination have faded. So what do I answer now, when a sweet, smelly old lady walks up to me with one question on her mind--who do you want to be when you grow up? Well honestly my answer is rather vague: "I dunno... something with art I guess. That would suit me best... or astronomy. Although I adore animals more than anyone I know so I would love to become a vet but my intelligence isn't good enough...So maybe a wildlife park director? Otherwise I move back to a villa in St:Tropez with my dog and work for V."

Oh BTW, you don't know V. and as she is very paranoid I prefer to use an abbreviation. Also as you see my self esteem concerning my intelligence has been gradually lowered by some friends and family so I am very afraid to even think about being a vet .

But am i too young to think about this right now? Yes. No.

  1. Ha! When you're passionate about something then you work harder than anyone else! So if you'd want to be a vet your self esteem shouldn't be blocking you.
