The question of what you want to do in the future. And if you ever truly know.
When we were toddlers our parents asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Back then, our answers were usually: princess,knight,alien,pirate,or fairies. When we were in elementary school, our teachers asked us what we wanted to be. We then usually answered with:Astronaut,veternarian,artist,or dancer. In middle school, they asked us the same question. "What do you want to do when you grow up?" We replied with: doctor, lawyer, artist, scientist, or olympic athelete. But in high school, they are going to start wanting a real answer to that question. The thing is, will we ever know what we truly want to do? In my mind, we are only grown up when we know everything. So really, no one in the world is a grown up. In a way, we are all always children and that makes us who we are. We can do a million things and still not know it all. By the time I graduate from highschool, I know know I won't know where I'm going. But, I know my hopes, my dreams, and my stories will take me wherever I'm meant to be.
