When I Grow Up... I Want To Be...

Today's blog...

Blog City - Day 625

Prompt: When you were a kid, did you want to have the same job or a different job than your parents when you grew up?

I never even considered a job my parents had. My mother was a secretary and my Dad was an electrician. My love has always been teaching. My favourite aunt was a teacher. I wanted to be like her. My grandmother's sister, Jean had also gone to teacher's college... although she died of pneumonia before she finished.

I loved school and the structure it provided and I liked most of my teachers. It just seemed natural.

As for the writing... that was not really considered a vocation... more of a hobby or a way of copying with all the stuff going on around me I could not control. My mother has told me that her Grandma Proud, my Great Grandmother, enjoyed writing. It was a pastime for her. So I guess that to has made its way through the family tree.
