When I Grow Up...

This week at school is Education Go Get It Week! I shared some of my childhood dreams with my I remember when I was little I wanted to be a lot of things. Some of them were possible, and some of them were not. For example when I was 5 years old I wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle! The only problem with that was, I am not a turtle nor was there a toxic ooze spill for me to frolic in. I also wanted to be a fire fighter when I was younger. That was an aspiration I could have accomplished. I made the right choices, as far as getting an education, but as I grew older what I wanted to do changed. I knew I wanted to help people, but the chance of me getting BBQ'd was something that turned me off to the idea. In high school I applied for a class that allowed me to visit the local elementary school and volunteer with little people. After the first day I knew I wanted to be a teacher. There are so many things about being a teacher that I enjoy. I could not have my dream job if I had not gotten an education. Stay in school and make good choices, and you will someday have your dream job.
