What Do You Want to Become When You Grow Up? - Mudasiru Ayoola


I think I got then idea for this write-up from the movie twilight, I won't bore you with how and what part...

When we were childen and we were asked what we wanted to become when we grew up, we all had answers like Doctors, Presidents, Politician, Scientists, Actors, Astrounauts, etc. We didn't think that most of these were unattainable... We just all had the notion that we were going to be great...

 When we were a little grown up, we were asked once again, what do you want to become when you grow up? And alas, our answers had been edited... We now understood a little bit that some things were no longer logical... We now gave answers like Lawyers, Engineers, Doctors, Architects, etc.

 But alas, if you ask us now what we want to be, we sincerely don't really know... We may be in the university, but majority of us have little or no idea what we actually want to be... We have realized that life isn't what we thought it to be...

My solution to this, even though its probably laughable  in Nigeria, is to let us travel, make mistakes, get lost and find our way back, do drug (hehe, kidding o), get arrested; so by the end of  it all we should have known what we want to do with the rest of our lives, and even if we don't, we'll be ready to settle down to figure it out....
