When I Grow Up

"When I grow up I want to..." There are endless possibilities to finish that sentence. It is mind bottling how many opportunities we have; that in America a child can grow up to be whatever he or she wants to be. Many high school students struggle with the question "what do I want to be?"; however, that has never puzzled me. I have always wanted to help people; whether I knew how I was going to go about doing so or not, I knew that I needed to help people. Now that I am at the age where I need to start thinking of potential careers, I know I will "grow up" to be someone important. I know, wherever my life brings me, I will be following my heart and doing everything in my ability to make sure every child, adult, and teenager knows that he or she can be ANYTHING they put their heart and mind to.
