When I was little I really wanted to be a police officer. As I grew up I lost interest in being a cop and started disliking most cops. There are some cool cops but most of them let the authority and power go to their heads. As I got a little older I started loving basketball and really wanted to be in the N.B.A. but life had other plans for me because I didn’t have the time to play and a few other things prevented me from practicing. I got really discouraged and stopped playing. I eventually lost interest in becoming an N.B.A. star when I realized that it most likely would never happen. After I started getting into high school and kept getting asked what I want to do when I grow up I got sick of always saying “I don’t know, I haven’t thought about it a whole lot” so I started trying to find things that I really enjoy doing that could eventually be a career. I found that I really like helping people and would really like to do something where I’m not just sitting at a computer. I want to be able to move around and have fun while I’m working. I’ve mostly been thinking about psychiatrics or message therapy. I’ve also thought about sports medicine.
