What to Be

What to Be Our teacher asked us to write a paper. " I want everyone to wrote a paper for me, " said the teacher. " In the paper, tell me what you want to be when you grow up. " " I want to work in a store and sell things, " said Bill. " I want to coach a caseball team. " cried Sam. " I want to be a writer and write books for people to read, " said Chery! " I want to be a fireman, " said Gerry. " And maybe a policeman too. " All of the children were excited---all except Joey. " I can't make up my mind, " he said.

" I want to be a lot of different things. " The teacher smiled. " Then that's what you should write, " she told him. " Write about all the things you want to be. One day, you'll know which one to choose. For roght now, wanting to be a lot of things is just right. "
