A doctor, someone who could take care of my family-
And a lot of money.
Then I gave up on that idea, and now I have no dream career!
I remember my fifth-grade teacher saying that choosing what you want to study was very important, especially for your happiness and well-being.
And I didn’t want to drain my brain with loads of studying and many people to look after.
When I gave up the dream, I felt a little free, but also a heavy cloud of disappointment because of not pursuing a career my parents fully supported me in.
Then in 7th grade, I wanted to be a artist,
Drawing was fun, and doodling was more entertaining than whatever lessons the teacher was blabbering about.
Drawing was way more fun than learning the 50 states of America.
But I didn’t want to spend my whole life drawing or disappoint my parents by choosing art rather than a more stable career like a doctor.
“That job will be hard for your future.”
“Are you sure you want to go with that career?”
Yea, I should think about the future later.
Now I want to be someone who lives a comfortable life-
No drama, no work, just me with electronics.
Electronics are super fun; you can use it to do almost everything!
Games, shows, and talking to people without showing your face – it’s the best!
Of course, I know I have to work hard for that life, and I don’t even know what I want to be in the future.
Worrying too much will be bad for my brain, and I still have many years to enjoy before adulthood.
I know I’ll figure it out one day, just not now.
