Brooke asks …
Posted February 26th

Hey! So today’s question is: What are you going to do when you graduate from high
school? Are you going to be a police officer, a chef, or a web developer? Or maybe
you’re like me and you just don’t know. I don’t even know the subjects that I’m going
to study next year at school!
My friends Ashley and Tyler know the jobs that they want to do. Ashley would like to
be a lawyer. She’s going to study law at college. And Tyler … he wants to be a builder.
He isn’t going to go to college. He’s going to do an apprenticeship and work with his
dad. It isn’t fair! They know what they’re going to do, and I don’t have a CLUE!
At least I know the jobs that I’m NOT going to do! I’m not going to be a mechanic
because I don’t like working with cars. I’m not going to be a nurse because I hate
hospitals! And I’m not going to be an accountant because I’m terrible at math!
When my family and teachers talk to me about my future, they all say, “Do something
that you love, Brooke.” But how does that help me? I love doing lots of different things.
I like writing my blog, listening to music, cooking for my friends, and going to the
movies … I’m TOTALLY CONFUSED! Well, that’s it for today. Bye for now!
