***One: When I grow up I want to... As children, we all had ambitions to be and do certain things as adults. Do you remember yours? (I wanted to be a fireman). Tell us about what you wanted to be when you grew up, and why. Did you attain your goal and if not why not? If you managed to achieve your desired result, what did you do to make it happen and how did you stay on track.*** I guess I am one of the kids back in the days that could be described as a confused child. Thinking back to my young age, I realized that until now, I am still not sure if what I picked as a course I am about to read in the university is right as I am still a bit confused and not sure of myself. Back when I was a freshman in college, that is my Junior class 1, our class teacher decided to ask each of us what we wanted to be, I was shaking with fear in my seat as I watched other kids stand up with confidence to tell the teacher what they wanted to become. When it came to my turn, I summoned up courage and said the first thing that came to my mind and that was a ***Journalist.*** <center> [Image Source](https://www.pexels.com/search/journalist/)</center> I have seen many journalists and heard many rumors most especially from our short school stories, and I knew I wasn't cut out for such a career, deep down I knew I was never going to take up such a career but just to save face, I decided to go with the idea of becoming a journalist. ____ ____ One evening while I sat with my dad to have a conversation, I remembered telling him I wanted to be an ***actress*** because we were both watching movies and he asked what I would love to become. I thought since he enjoyed watching movies, I would love to act so he could watch his lovely daughter but then I realized that back then, no parent wanted their kids to venture into acting because they thought acting was an immoral career that exposed their children to danger. <center> [Image Source](https://www.pexels.com/search/acting/)</center> Even though I said that I doubted myself because I knew I was an introverted freak and can not even stand the spotlight for even a second. ____ ____ Another time, I remember watching the women who did newscasting on television and telling myself I would love to cast the news like them one day but I knew it wasn't going to happen because I only admired their courage and fluent English and also because I was intuitive about their boldness but that doesn't mean I was going to go anywhere close to doing that. <center> [Image Source](https://www.pexels.com/search/news%20caster/)</center> I knew I hated news and can not even see myself doing what I hated the most. ____ ____ Even when I left college, I still wasn't sure of what I was going to become if I eventually had the opportunity to go into the university and it ate me up many nights because I felt hopeless but currently, I applied for the university and I put in Guidance and counseling even though I was given admission to study that I am still not sure if I made the right decision choosing such career for myself. I felt I should have gone into pure education and majored in Christian Religious Studies but I am as confused as ever because I don't know which was right for me. <center> [Image Source](https://www.pexels.com/search/counselor/)</center> ____ ____ This is my entry to the @galenkp weekend prompt. Although late, I just had to do it because I had already written it but had a bad network and could not submit it.
