My earliest memory was wanting to be a teacher (this was when I was in kindergarten). Then I didn’t have anything in particular in mind until I was around 10, at which point I decided I wanted to be an actor. I have no idea why/how/whatfor I had this idea, since I am painfully shy and always have been. Sometimes I wish I had pursued it, but honestly, I don’t think I would have been very good at it.
Then in my teens I wanted to be a writer, until I realized that I’m not a very good writer, or at least not good enough to earn a living wage from it. lol But it didn’t stop me from becoming an English major when I started college. I think I switched to being a journalism major for about a day (not formally, just considered it briefly), but decided I’m better suited to studying English. I also thought about becoming an English teacher (hearkening back to my first ‘what I want to be when I grow up’ memory). But I don’t think I’d be a very good teacher because I’m…not very patient with other people, haha.
So now I’m basically an English major with no clear direction. LOL Actually, right now I’d like to work in a library again, so hopefully I’ll be able to make that happen sometime in the future. :)
