we're doing an autobiography project in class. one of the pieces of the project is where the kids talk about their future goals: will they go to college? where? if not, why? what do you want to do? why? etc.
they also have to write about their life when they are 30. what will they be doing? will they be married and have kids? what will their job be?
they were writing them today, and i thoroughly enjoyed reading them, so i thought i would share some of the things they wrote or said.
"i want to be a lawyer. because i like being all up in everyone's business all the time. and i want to be on tv. the show will be called 'judge bs'." (said by a girl whose initials are l. b-s.)
"i'm going to be a pro soccer player. but when i'm 30 i'm going to work at McDonald's because my soccer career will be over."
kid: what do you go to college for if you want to work at ruby tuesday?
me: well, what do you want to do at ruby tuesday?
kid: be a waitress.
me: why do you want to be a waitress at ruby tuesday?
kid: i like their ham.
(from the kid who also wants to be a dental hygienist at 30)
me: so when you're older, am i going to see you play in the world cup?
kid: i don't know. you might be dead.
"i want to be a professional dancer and go to julie arts."
(meaning, of course, juliard...)
"do you have to go to college to be a pro-fisherman?"
the girl who wants to be a waitress at ruby tuesday then decided to be a manager, and the pro soccer player decided that when his soccer career was over and he's done working at mcdonalds, he's going to work for the ruby tuesday manager (i think he has a little crush...).
our professional dancer decided that at 30, she'll be a vet and she'll eat at ruby tuesday to see our waitress-turned-manager.
another girl decided to be a doctor who delivers babies, and she wants to have a tv show about delivering babies when she's 30. we also have a pro football player whose back-up is being a doctor who delivers babies, and who will be a guest star on the tv show (and according to the creator of the show, he will be great).
there are bound to be more fun things that come out of the kids as we finish this part of the project this week. these are just the ones i remember from today. it was great to see their dreams and see them so excited about their futures (even though turning 30, as they told us, is forever away for them). i truly hope they accomplish all their dreams and do amazing things, but they are so funny when they are talking about it right now :)
