Personal Narrative: Threw Out My School Career

Threw out my school career I’ve never knew exactly what I wanted to do when I grew up and threw the out the years my ideas of what will make me happy has changed as well. All I knew from a young age was that I wanted to go to college, get a great job, and most importantly to be happy.

International millionaire with 3 pet tiger was the dreams of a young elementary school student. This dream belonged to me when I was in the second grade. The third day of school my teacher wanted to get to know her student by asking them questions about themselves. When the teacher finally got to me I stood up slowly trying not to be noticed and answered all the questions she had for me. The last question she asked me was “what do you wanted to be when you grew up”. This question truly made me think, this wasn’t the first time I’ve been asked this question. The idea of how I was going to get there wasn't clear but I knew I wanted to be rich and have three pet tigers. Threw out my elementary school career my teacher told me to look at jobs that were “more realistic”. The idea of college was already a must by my father and grandmother at young age. At the age of eight through ten I would think at times of jobs I would like. I would ask myself “what do I like to do?” or “what was I good at?” and all I could think of was debating and finding information

By the time I got to middle school I wanted to be a lawyer because I loved debating, and proving people wrong. I was a very competitive person and felt that the court room was right for me. Around seventh grade I was proud to say that one day I would become a lawyer. Most my teacher believed that this career path was right for me. I planned the next ten years of my life with one goal in mind become a lawyer. I started to look at colleges and some of the best law firms in the country I looked forward to
