“What do you want to be when you grow up?” this is something every kid ponders throughout their childhood. Sometimes you know exactly what you want to be, sometimes you take time, in order to find out your future, you have to find yourself first. We all go through an identity crisis at some point.
The future is like a thought that your mind cannot seem to fathom. It is full of uncertainties and adventures. All we want when we are young is to be grown up. We want to be something in life, no matter how small we are, we can make a big difference. We all think that sometimes life is a movie and everything will work out. That is not true. If we want something we have to work for it, for you to have a great future and achieve something you have to earn it.
Start with a plan. You might not know exactly what you want to do in your life but that’s okay. It will take time, sometimes you have the feeling that you are not good at anything and that you have no talents. It happens, I know they say you will discover it one day but what they say is true. Remember if you do not try something you will never know if you are good at it. Explore yourself and test your limits, see what you can find. I'm sure you will find your thing, you might already have found it, if not I'm sure you will soon.
One more thing I wanna say is that please do not ever fear putting yourself out there. Do not hide in the shadows, please try out for everything. Sometimes do these things for yourself and not just for the purpose of making your college application look good. Put yourself out there, see what you can find. You might actually discover something about yourself. One thing that we as a society have decided is that all you have to be is a doctor, lawyer, engineer. I think that you can be anything you want, there are all these different careers out there, you never know you might end up billionaire! Think about what you wanna be, put a lot of thought into it because in a few years when they ask you about your life, you should be able to say that you chose this life and you did not settle for it.
Always love what you do, if you hate your job then you didn’t really live your life. Do not compare yourself to others, everyone is different and they all have different interests. Remember whatever you wanna be in life is what you chose not someone else.
I'm sure one day you will peak. You will have the perfect job, a perfect family, and an amazing house and super supportive friends. You will look back at your past and appreciate everything you did for your future self. Who knows, in time you will become everything you ever wanted to be.
Question: what's your dream job?`
