READING

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lucy. She could play the piano beautifully, even
though she was only twelve years old. Her parents would often tell her that she should consider
becoming a professional pianist, but Lucy wasn't sure if that was what she wanted.

Lucy could also paint stunning landscapes. She would spend hours in the garden, painting the
flowers and trees. Her art teacher told her that she might have a real talent for painting and that she
should think about studying art in college.

However, Lucy loved animals and she could spend all day at the local animal shelter, helping to
take care of the dogs and cats. She would often say that she might want to become a vet when she
grows up. But she also knew that she would have to study hard because becoming a vet can be quite
challenging.

Lucy realized that she could do anything she set her mind to. She should follow her heart and do
what makes her happy. After all, she must remember that she doesn't have to decide right now. She
still has plenty of time to explore her interests and discover what she truly loves to do.
