When I Grow Up I Want To Be A...
When I grow up I want to be a teacher, fireman, policeman, WAIT NO I want to be a psychologist. As children we go back and fourth saying what we want to be when we grow up and there is no changing our minds. However, as we get older and have to go to college we start narrowing down what we want to be, what we think we would be good at and what would make our dreams come true. We flip-flop a lot until we figure out what we want to do. I decided that I would be good at helping people. The hard part was figuring out what field I wanted to go into. I did not have an epiphany. It was a friend who told me that I might enjoy psychology. I became a Peer Counselor and have not looked back ever since. I want to become a Psychologist. I want to get my doctorate and become practicing psychologist. I want to have a successful career, a family but most of all I want to be happy no matter what happens.
I want to go to college. My plan is to major in psychology. I want to get my BA and my doctorate. I think that I will be a good psychologist because I am not looking to try to figure out what is wrong with me like most psychologists are. I know that already my goal is to help people. I want to help them so that they can help themselves learn how to deal with their problems without running to a psychologist (even though that is what I want to do.) the entire thing is very cliché. But that is what I want to do.
After my many years of schooling and establishing my place in the corporate world I want a family. I want the companionship and I want to be a mother. I think that being a mother is a very important thing. And that, that is one of the reasons why we are put on this earth. I want that joy and that fulfillment.
The most important thing to me is my happiness. I want to be happy and feel that I had accomplished something in my life. Even of my dream does not come true I want that fulfillment that you only get when you know that you are living or had lived the only life you wanted to. Yes my life may not be all that I think it could be and something may happen that it adjusts my plan or dream and makes it into something new but I want to be able to say that I am happy with it. When it all comes down to it and my grandchildren ask me to summarize my life I want to be able to tell them that I am happy.
