Most of us grow up full of dreams on who we are going to be in future. In most cases it depends on the people surrounding us. If my mum is a nurse, I would automatically think I want to be a nurse when I grow up. Mum would have painted a rosy picture of what the world of nursing is all about. Helping sick people get better.!!!Never did we think about how nursing is about not having a fear of seeing people hurt, having the strength and courage to watch a person die in our arms, and still walk away and come to work the next day. Do the kids of today understand what is expected of them when they grow up? Or do they watch video games and think they will be super heroes? Some of them say they want to be musicians, do we nurture their dreams? Do we pave the way for them to be who they want to be? Or are we still stuck in the past where after school one has to get a decent job as a Lawyer, Acoountant, Banker, Doctor to mention a few?
Ask a few 10 year old kids today, what do you want to be? And be amazed at the answers you get.
