What Do You Do About The Business Field?

What do you want to be? A question we are asked from kindergarten on up. For some people, the answer lies with them there whole life until they are able to pursue that dream. Others aren't able to choose what they want to be or do until the day comes to make the decision comes. As for me I made my career chose my sophomore year of high school. Although I didn't choose just one possible candidate I have boiled it down to two careers. The first being a Chiropractor and the second being a Physical Therapist.

Little kids everywhere have imagined what they will become as they grow up; a doctor, a musician, a teacher. As an eighth grader, I’ve been given the opportunity to look in-depth at what careers I should consider. Through surveys I’ve learned about my more prominent skills, which has led me to the discovery of paths I should take as I draw closer to high school. As I continue to see my results and take a deeper look at my possible plan for the future, I hope to learn more about myself, discovering a career choice I haven’t considered before, and end up with a better understanding of who I want to be.

What do you want to be when you grow up? It’s the question every kid is asked at a young age. But how are these kids supposed to know what their future will consist of if they don’t even know themselves yet? It takes years to fully understand whom you are and what you want to pursue in life. For me it wasn’t until this year, my senior year, in which I fully began to see the path I intended to take in college and in life. I asked myself one simple question. What am I passionate about? The answer I came up with was also simple; I’m passionate about helping people, specifically people with mental illnesses.

It took me years to figure out what I wanted to be when I grow up. Honestly, I still don 't know and don 't ever plan to. Mostly because I cannot imagine becoming a true adult. I’d have to do adult things like returning a sweater I didn 't like or gardening. Gardening: to spend hours upon hours toiling in fields for plants that won’t live to see spring! Or worse imagine me cooking, forbid it that I should ever enjoy cooking! Half the time I mess up boiling water and make macaroni only from a microwave. I 'm still afraid of librarians and speaking to strangers. I intend to use Mickey Mouse band-aids, color with crayons and eat Lucky Charms until the day I 'm cold in my grave. I could never be a good adult.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” I can not recall the numbers of times I have been asked this question. The question is phrased in various ways:

Sneaking up on me, the end of my senior year is starting appearing, the most frequent question I get asked is,” What are you going to do after high school?” That question for me isn't a hard one--in fact, it is rather easy. At the age of 10, I knew I wanted to become some type of teacher, or someone in the medical field, I didn't know what exactly. At the age of 15 I was in an accident that helped me realize what I wanted to become.

Most young adults, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, may suffer as I did with “What will I be when I grow up syndrome?” I must admit that this syndrome is not only prevalent but life altering. When I was eighteen and asked this same question, I may one day respond with fire fighter and the next day a neurosurgeon. I had NO idea what I wanted to do with my life and thanks to my Mother, I had this preconceived idea that money actually did grow on trees

When I was 5 to 13, I would say I want to be a Formula one racer, a professional soccer or basketball player. Nonetheless, because of all kind of the factors, I did not continue the path of becoming a professional athlete. For a while, I was looking for some works that might suit me in the future. In order to find an answer, I have been participated in three different summer college programs during high school vacation. However, I still could not decide after that. Until my parents suggested me to do something which relates to my interest, I finally determined the area I wanted.

Throughout my life, one question has plagued me during icebreakers, uncomfortable family gatherings, and standardized tests: what do you want to be when you grow up? I went through the standard set of responses as I grew up (ballerina, Rockstar, astronaut, Godzilla, etc.), but when I finally got to the age when what I answered actually mattered, I found that I really had no idea. I antagonized over the question, trying to work my way backward: What did that question even mean? Was it just to find a job or a career, something that paid the bills, or something that truly made me happy? For much longer than probably advisable, I put off answering The Question. Thankfully, the universe felt generous enough to drop some pretty obvious hints my way.

Always when I was a little kid people always asked me what I wanted to be or what I wanted to do in life and I always told them I’m not sure. Now over the past couple months people have kept asking me more and more but I always say I am not sure. My goals in life are to go to college and get a good paying job, and maybe a family and nice house. Now I've decided I would like to be an x-ray technician.

Growing up, I heard the same questions. What do I want to be when I grow up? Am I going to attend college? If so which one? What am I going to study when I get there? Throughout my childhood, I was always taught if I wanted a good job with a high paying salary I would obtain it through higher education. As I grew up I understood that my college education was not about the money, but the core curriculum in the education.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Where do you want to go to college? What is your intended major? Ever since elementary school, we have all been bombarded with these questions. Our lives have always been focused on thinking about the future and what we can do to make our families proud. Now, the moment has come where these decisions must be made.

When I was younger the teachers would always ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up and the only three words I could say to them were “I don’t know” since kindergarten all the way up to my junior year of high school I finally choose something that actually got my attention I choose to become a Neurosurgeon.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” This question seems to get thrown around to kids a lot. I too have been asked this question many times, and to be honest, I have answered differently each time. That is until middle school when I started to find health sciences really interesting.

Right now, if someone were to ask me what I wanted to be when I grow up, I’d know exactly what to say. I know what I want to major in, who I want to work for, and how I want to retire. I have not stopped thinking about the future since I started sophomore year in high school. It might be an obsession, or it might be the continuous asking of questions like “So what do you want to do?” by teachers and family. Either way, I find it hard to live in the moment sometimes. Yoga, meditation, and exercise have all helped me with this. However, a little island in Ontario has always been my best teacher in how to appreciate the present.
