When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
What did I wanna be as a grown up? When I was five, the world was actually a pretty exciting place! I’ll be honest, I don’t remember that far back. But I know as a little kid, there were so many things I wanted to be.
I wanted to be a Veterinarian! Especially one that worked on BIG animals! Elephants and Rhinos and Tigers! I could imagine myself doing surgery and saving these amazing creatures! Until I figured out that I’d have to deal with animals that were dying or have to put them down myself. Then it didn’t seem so great.
Naturally I had to think of something else cool! I wanted to be the FIRST female MLB player! Girls were just as good as things as boys were. So why shouldn’t I be able to play a sport with them? We know that there’re still no female players in “mens” leagues, and unfortunately any chance of that is just getting slimmer under our government’s administration….
I wanted to do anything that dealt with the Ocean! Because the Ocean was amazing! I wanted to be a Graphic Designer, I wanted to work in the government making people’s lives better! At least I kept one theme up with all these dream jobs. I wanted to help people or animals. And I’ve always wanted to help others. I love helping people and bringing people joy!
I’m extra lucky to get to do that as a Stay at Home Mom! Honestly, it’s probably the hardest job I’ve ever had! (And I worked in retail management! IYKYK!)
But now I can’t wait until my daughter is 5! What will her dream job be? What kinda jobs will there even be when she’s grown? Will she wanna help people? Will she be creative? Will she work in technology? Only time will tell, but I’m excited to see where she goes! ❤️
