When I was young.


When I was young,

I thought I was going to change the world by saving lives.

I thought I wanted to be a doctor or a nurse.

As I have gotten older, I realized that just wasn't my calling.

I am going to change the world in a different way

I am going to be a Wildlife Conservation Officer.

I am going to be a mother, and a wife.

I may not change the whole world, but I will change mine to a point where I am comfortable,

More comfortable then I have ever been.
