What | Intend to Be.

Although I am beginning very
carly at choosing what I will be when
I grow Up. what ! wish viii never
leave my mind.
When ] am old enough and II I ever
learn enough. I will be a nurse. Then
I could care for the poor sick people
in the hospitals and perhaps bring
someone back TO life.
II It would be impossible for me
to be a nurse. I would be a teacher.
The reason 1 want TO be a teacher
is becaucs ! think It is q very nice
study. But 1 would not want a grade
any higher than the sixth.
Perhaps / can be neither one of
them, than 1t would be very hard
to choose anything at all. for moth
ing else is better than to be a nurse
or teacher.
Maybe when I am a little older l
may want to be something else. but
while I am small no one will ever
make me change rry mind.
