"Finding my Future"
At 18 years old it is so difficult to truly know
What it is you want to do when you get out of high school.
Every day I would change my mind, which path should I go?
I want to pick a job that I know will be cool.
One day I was doing some research and a lightbulb went off in my head,
I work wonderfully with children, but I know being a teacher is not what I want to do.
I thought long and hard about the career information I had read,
And I know it is what I want, although the job itself may make me feel blue.
A Child Life Specialist is what I have decided to study and become,
It focuses on helping children cope with their terminal illness.
Although it may be rough, I know I will be helping a large sum
Of children who need nothing in life but love and kindness.
Families will appreciate everything that I do,
This will make my job someday more rewarding than ever.
I know that I will be giving back to so many families who don't have a clue
Why this disease wants to take their child forever.
It is such a relief to know what I am going to be,
I will be successful and change lives one day, you'll see!
It is such a relief to know what I am going to be,
I will be successful and change lives one day, you'll see!
This is such a cute poem!! It's so hard to know at such a young age what exactly you want to do with your life, so it's really awesome that you already have such a thought-out plan. This sounds like a really challenging but rewarding career, and I truly think you're a perfect fit for the job.
ReplyDeleteThis poem was amazing! I agree with Jen! It's so hard to determine what you want to do the rest of your life right now. Working with kids is something I am looking for too. I'm sure you'll be a great Child Life Specialist! My favorite line was "I will be successful and change lives one day, you'll see!"
