It was finally time to decide what I wanted to be...

Every little girl wants to be a nurse, a vet,

a princess, or an actress when they grow up. 

For me, I wanted to be a dentist. 

Then when I was in 8^th grade,

I decided I wanted to be an orthodontist. 

During my senior year of high school,

 everyone was trying to decide

what they wanted to go into when they graduated. 

I always thought how easy I had it. 

From the time I was in third grade

I knew exactly what I wanted to do. 

That was until graduation actually rolled around

& it was serious time. 

I didn’t know what I wanted to go to college for. 

It made it hard to get signed up for college

because I had no push and excitement.

One week before school started,

I was helping my mom get her preschool room ready. 

As I sat there helping her come up with ideas.

 It clicked in my head,

like a light bulb went on. 

I then knew exactly what I wanted to go to school for. 

And that was to be a….

Teacher!

Just like my mama!
