As kids,we loved to fantasize and talk about how great and super cool we wanted to become in future.. We had loads of answers to anyone who asked us what we would like to be when we grow up. I can remember i wanted to become so many things. I wanted to be Barbie, a pop star, I even wanted to become a great baker and so many people could not help but wonder what i really wanted. Every child had a dream or has a dream.Those moments were so sweet and lovely and we couldn't also wait to become grownups so we could actualize our dreams but for one reason or the other, most of us if not all ended up studying something different and left our teenage dream hanging. Let's see some Professions we really wanted to do as young children:
I can remember my best friend always writing a "Dr" title before her names on all her books. Honestly, i don't know what happened that she stopped using the title. I guess it was just a little fear of blood. Many of us too have also said we were going to be great doctors in future come what may and ended up studying something else. Maybe because we found something more interesting or like my friend, feeeearrr of blooood! Today, my best friend is in her final year studying political science.. LOL. Doctor becomes Politician!
And where are those kids that always shouted "am becoming a lawyer"? Well, some of them actually became lawyers or are studying law but the rest of them.... *lips sealed*
- Astronaut
Seriously, as i write this am really laughing...lol. As if it's an easy job to travel in the air.. Ermm.. I really don't know what they do but i know it is not something very easy.. Well, i do not really like to stress myself so i never dreamed of becoming an Astronaut but hello sweet kids that said they wanted to become one, Are you practicing it yet?
- Teacher
And to my list of "things i wanted to be come" is a Teacher. Teaching is quite a sweet job. Infact, teachers are builders but for reasons, no one wants to become a teacher anymore.. but really.. Why is that? *scratches head*
This was a "no go area" for me. I never wanted to become one but those daring boys in my class used to brag about how handsome they would look as a pilot.. I guess it was just because they wanted to look handsome in a pilot's outfit.. Pilots are very bold people and am really sure we just have only few people that are willing to take the risk of being pilot!
- Writer
Writers are really special people because we read what they write.. lol.. Someone like me...hehehe! but i dunno what the problem is with people running away from that profession now.
These are just few of those professions we ran away from.. Do you mind adding yours in the comment box below?
