dream job

As children, we were all probably asked the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Now, no one seems to ask children this question anymore. Yet, by asking a child this question, we give the child a sense of hope for his own future and prompt them to think about their career expectations in adulthood.

My mum has always said that I was born for this job. As I am growing older I can see that she was right. One day, I would like to go and see all the places on Earth and say that I have been everywhere! I want to learn new languages, experience more, get to know more people and just enjoy my life more with having the job, which I am cut out for.
