"What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up?"
So that’s what I told the kids. I told them to follow their heart. I told them they get to try everything they’re interested in, and they can always change, and that they can be more than one thing at a time. Besides, by the time these kids I talked to today are old enough to choose careers, there will be professions that don’t exist today. There will be professions we know now that might be “extinct” by then as well. Possibilities are literally endless. It would be my honor if someone in that assembly got to plant a seed in their mind about a possibility of what they can do with their life although I will probably never know.
