When I grow up
In kindergarten, my class was
asked to draw pictures, showing what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our
drawings were expected to display our dream occupations. I remember pictures of
ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze, and astronauts leaping
across the moon.
My picture showed a figure with
brown hair holding a box of orange juice beside a counter. Underneath was my
handwriting: "When I grow up, I want to work at Market Basket because it
would be fun to swipe (刷) orange juice across the scanner." Out of everything,
my fiveyearold 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 questions 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. However,
not all of us can be so sure. Even though I am in high school, I cannot answer
with certainty. 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 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.
