What do you want to be when you grow up?

What do you want to be when you grow up?

When I was young I really had this dream. When I was young, I meant my elementary years, I really really want to become a famous scientist. Yeah, I was once a science geek who knows all about different things going on in the universe (yah kids, they know it all). Hoping to extend my knowledge I pursued to highschool.! Yah I was so proud of what I have learned in highschool.

After two years of high school, my wants change. The geek became a Holy man.! Holy @#$%! Yes you're right. By that time I want to become a priest. Most likely my church activities influenced my want to become a priest. Back in high school I was an altar server in our local church (I was an angel back then.. hmmm). But reality striked me and I was awake with the fact that I'm not a Holy man. I keep saying on my mind: "How could a guy like me surpass all the sacrifices inorder to become a holy man?" Tsk tsk. It was not just who I wanted to be.

After that I decided to be a rockstar. Yes it came to me, but you know me, the type that plays guitar, whose songs plays over and over and over again. I know you would be happier if I learned a new one. But then it happened again. It was just not the dream that would make me happy. And then the geekiness in me has taken over again.

This time, I want to become a computer programmer. Now this is why I am in a University, Learning the way of the "Programmer", going to school inorder to finish my bachelors degree in Computer Engineering, Major in Software Engineering (sounds cool right) in 5 years (or maybe not).

You know what, this is not what i want to be when i grow up. and to tell you honestly I'm still not growing up. Right now, I lagged. My attitude is just like in my high school days. I'm still not mature enough. I still live in idealism and not in realism. I know that this is quite good and honestly, i want to lag here, in this state, for a long time. But this can't happen in reality. I have to move on.

You know what I want to be when i really grow up? I want to be wiser, a man of wisdom, with a loving family and a pleasant home. In short, A HAPPY MAN…
