What’s your dream job? Some kids really don’t know what their dream job is going to be.
A lot of adults are surprised at what students say.

Teresa Androvich a 7th grader says she wants to be a baker because she loves cooking, “I do not want to do this job forever because I also want to be a teacher”, so she explained this job will be “temporary”. Androvich says she thinks she’s “good” at cooking. “My family I think would be happy if I got this job because I would cook for them.”

Kaitlyn Chepel also a 7th grader shared her passion for makeup.. Chepel says “I would like to be a makeup artist because I enjoy it.” Chepel says her family “would be happy because they would support me and be happy for me”..

Maria Gonzalez in 7th grade wants to be a nurse practitioner or a doctor. Gonzalez says “I would like to do this job because I want to help people in need and I want to do this job forever.” She says she believes she will be able to get into this job. Gonzalez said “I am like a nurse at my school; I help students in need and they call me Nurse Maria.”

All students have different perspectives of what they would like to do in their future. It’s shocking how teenagers already have most of their future planned out.
