What I want to do When I Grow Up

Posted on 09:36 by kumar
Hello Everyone!

Too often in our childhood we are asked "what do you want to do when you grow up?" I still remember clearly the asnwer to the question "be a Model!" that's what i would always say. But when I got to 10th grade in High School my choice of career changed completely by saying "I want to Act!" the choice of career changed because of my deep interest for it. My choice of career hasn't changed at all, I still want to act and gain more experience and grow my craft more. Here is an article that i read today that i got on my e-mail. Its from this teen writing website called Teen Ink, the article really made me realize that having a career is not only to earn enough money to survive, but what mainly the article is telling us is that its better and more important to have a career that you love to do and mainly enough that you're happy doing it, and appreciating every growing experience from it.

In kindergarten, my class was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Crayons danced across sheets of ­paper to illustrate our dream occupations. Our drawings were hung in the hallway for our

parents to see at Back to School Night. I remember looking down the line and seeing pictures of ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze, and astronauts leaping across the moon – careers that were seen as typical dreams of five-year-olds.

My picture showed a stick figure with brown hair holding a carton of orange juice over a large rectangle that was supposed to be a counter. Underneath was my barely legible handwriting: “When I grow up, I want to work at the Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe orange juice across the scanner.” To this day my parents won’t let me forget that out of everything I could have aspired to be, my five-year-old self wished to work at the local grocery store.

When we are young, questions of what we want to be when we grow up are common. Yet we are not expected to respond with an answer that is likely to come true. However, when we become teens, we are asked the very same question twice as often. The difference is, now we are supposed to ­answer with confidence.

Teens are expected to know exactly what we want to be and how we are going to achieve that goal. Not all of us can be so sure. Even though I am in high school, I ­cannot answer convincingly. But I don’t ­consider that a bad thing. How am I supposed to know what I will want to spend my time doing at age 40?

When I think about the future, I definitely don’t see myself working at the Market ­Basket, but in reality, if that was what would make me happy, I would do it. So, the next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I will simply say “happy.”

Happiness is a destination for everyone. We may want to walk different paths in life, but we all want to be happy wherever we end up. Choose your path, but don’t worry too much about choosing wisely. Make a ­mistake or two and try new things. But ­always remember, if you’re not happy, you’re not at the end of your journey yet.
 
Reading this article really made me see truly how much I want to become an actress and a writer.
