			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ask a five year-old what they want to be when they grow up and they&#8217;ll answer you in a heart beat. Ask the newly turned twenty-four me, well&#8230; you might as well sit down on a comfy chair with a bag of popcorn as I try to figure that out.</p>
<p>I mean seriously, I&#8217;m what most people would call grown up yet I&#8217;m still uncertain of what I really want to be. Granted that I&#8217;ve set myself up with so many back up plans that I&#8217;m not too worried about what to do if I don&#8217;t have a clue, which I don&#8217;t, but I would like to have a career, not just a job.</p>
<p>During college, I figured that I wanted to go into publishing and I still do, but the response to my hundreds of resume submissions haven&#8217;t gotten a response. Not too mention that I currently hate my job, so I&#8217;ve taken into my head to be a teacher. So now I&#8217;m interning at a middle school and loving it yet, my desire to go into publishing hasn&#8217;t died or simmered. Apparently, I really want to be in that field.</p>
<p>So what to do? I can&#8217;t just keep working a job I hate and hope that I&#8217;ll get the job of my life, right? Right. I&#8217;ve decided to stick to the teaching idea. I like it so far and since it comes with great benefits (summer vacation every year!), I figured what the heck? Not too mention that I&#8217;m hoping to be teaching English which means all I get to talk about every day is reading and writing. Who wouldn&#8217;t mind a job like that!</p>
<p>The path is set, for now, and I&#8217;m walking, but if you were to ask even now what I want to be when I grow up then I&#8217;ll probably respond, “Everything and anything and a whole lot more.”</p>
