Hiking Occupations For the past few years, it has been a long journey of picking and picking and never choosing a career. What do I want to do with my life? Doctor, veterinarian, there were so many decisions. So many things I could do, and for a while, I thought I had it all figured out. I wanted to be a doctor. But did I really?

Makeup wise, I would get a lot of makeup for Christmas when I was younger, even though I never wore it. I would play around with it and practice on my siblings, including my younger brother. It started becoming fun for me, as well as becoming better at it.

    From the time a child enters preschool, teachers begin asking a common question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” That dreaded query has always haunted me, mostly because the way it was redundantly asked put a ton of pressure on me and my peers. The question was like a rusty nail being hammered into our head’s by society. I continuously had the cliché answers of becoming a doctor, teacher, or a police officer, but with serious reservations. After years of not having a clue, I started to think about what I like to do after the stresses of work and school were gone at the end of the day.

    When I was younger, I’ll be honest, I never gave a good thought about what I wanted to be when I grow up. I was content with what I was then and wasn’t exposed to many job options, and when asked, “what I wanted to be when I grew up”, I usually gave a really generic answer.
