My dream as a child

My dream as a child
We are usually asked this question very early in life: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” is one of the most popular questions asked by your parents or relatives. Parents usually ask this question to their children to encourage their kids about their future. It seems like an easy question, but its not. Not many children know what they want to be when they grow up. Many of us say those careers that we think are the most popular such as; police officer, firefighter, nurse, teacher, or a doctor. I can remember when my parents would ask, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The first thing that came to my mind was a police officer and a dancer. All I knew was that I wanted to be a police officer because I wanted to be like my dad and a dancer because I wanted to teach people how dance. Unfortunately, as I grew up, I came to realize that it would take much effort to obtain a diploma in both of those professions. No one ever mentioned the hard work or how long it actually takes to become a police officer or a professional dancer. All I heard was, “You can become whatever you want.”

Once I got out of high school I was not sure what I wanted to pursue as a career, the only thing I knew was that I did not wanted to become a police officer. Even though I was an adult, I was unsure of what I wanted to pursue as a career. It was when I was in my third year of college when I decided to get a major in Human Resource Development and a minor in Dance. Once I got out of high school I was not sure what I wanted to pursue as a career, the only thing I knew was that I did not wanted to become a police officer. Even though I was an adult, I was unsure of what I wanted to pursue as a career. I never gave up on the idea of becoming a dancer. My mother knew I was going to be a dancer. She still remembers how I used to move, almost all the time inside her belly.

The reason why I was interested in becoming a police officer was because like any other kid they want to be like their parents when they grow up. My father used to be a police officer back then when we used to live in Mexico. I always told my parents “I want to be a police officer just like my daddy, I want to help my community and I want to save people from the bad people.” Now how I decided to become a dancer I am not sure. My mom still does not know why I enjoy dancing so much. Dance is in my blood and I was born with it, just like other children’s are born with a different talents. If I could have an occupation at the moment would be to be a professional dancer. I would like to be part of an important dance company. I really enjoy dancing and dance is one of my biggest passions in life. Dance has helped me in so many ways that I feel that dance is a big part of my life and I would not be able to live without dance. Also, I would love to be part of a company in which I could developed the skills I’ve gained as an Human Resource Development professional. Everything seems so easy when you are child, but once you become an adult you realize that life is not as easy as you thought it would be when you were a kid. To pursue the career you want you must work hard, be dedicated and be sure that’s the right path you want to follow.
