When I Grow Up

I have been thinking about what I’d like to be when I grow up. 

There are so many choices. 

I could be a principal like my father. 

I could be a teacher. 

I like animals. 

Maybe I should be a veterinarian. 

My cat just went to the veterinarian to get her shots. 

I don’t think my cat was too happy to be there. 

I could be a farmer and grow vegetables. 

Maybe I could be a doctor and cure people. 

If I was good enough, I could be a famous sports person or a singer. 

I could be an actor on television or in the movies. 

Maybe I would like to be a policeman or a fireman. 

I could rescue people. 

I can play the piano. 

Maybe I should be a musician. 

I could be a lawyer. 

I sometimes watch shows about lawyers defending people. 

Lawyers have to be able to speak well. 

I could be a carpenter and work with wood, or I could be a welder and work with metal. 

There are just so many jobs. 

I could work in a restaurant. 

I could cook food, or I could serve food. 

I could be an airline pilot or the captain of a ship. 

I could be a repairman or an artist. 

The world is full of jobs. 

Some of the jobs require a lot of education. 

Some require a little bit of training, and some require a lot of training. 

It’s all up to me. 

I can be whatever I want to be.
