When I Grow up
In
kindergarten, my class was asked, “What do you
want to be when
you grow up?” Crayons danced
across sheets of paper to illustrate our
dream
jobs. Our drawings were hung in the hall way for
our parents to see at
Back to School Night. I
remember looking down the line and seeing pictures
of ballet dancers dancing, firefighters
putting out a big fire, and spacemen
leaping
across the moon—jobs that were seen as typical
dreams of five-year-
olds
My picture showed
a stick figure with brown hair holding a bottle of
orange juice over something like a counter.
Underneath was my hardly
readable handwriting:
When I grow up, I want to work at the Market
Basket because it would be fun to swipe orange
juice across the scanner at
the checkout
counter. To this day my parents won’t let me
forget that out of
everything I could have
wished to be, my five-year-old self wished to work
at the
local grocery store.
When we are
young, questions of what we want to be when we
grow
up are common. Yet we are not expected to
respond with an answer that is
likely to come
true. When we become teens, we are asked the very
same
question twice as often. The difference
is that we are supposed to answer with
confidence.

As teenagers, we are expected
to know exactly what we want to be
and how we
are going to achieve that goal. Not all of us can
be so sure. Even
though I am in high school, I
cannot answer confidently. But I don’t consider
that a bad thing. How am I supposed to know
what I will want to spend my time
doing at age
40?
When I think about the future, I
definitely don’t see myself working at the
Market Basket, but in reality, if that was
what would make me happy, I would do
i
t.
So, the next time someone asks me what I want to
be
when I grow up, I will simply say
“happy.”
Happiness is a destination for
everyone. We may want to take different
paths
in life, but we all want to be happy wherever we
end up. Choose your
path, but don’t worry too
much about whether your choice is right or not.
Make a mistake or two and try new things. But
always remember: If you’
re not happy, you’re
not at the end of your journey yet.

Americans have many
expressions using the word “dog.”
Nowadays
people in the United States love their dogs and
treat
them well. They take their dogs for
walks, let them play
outside, and give them
good food and medical care.
However, dogs
without owners to care for them lead a
different kind of life. The expression “to
lead a dog’s life”
describes a person who has
an unhappy existence.

Some people say “we live in
a dog-eat-dog world.” This
means that when
many people are competing for the same
things,
like good jobs, they are quick to forget their
basic
humanity. They also say that, a person
has to “work like a
dog” to be successful.
This means they have to work very,
very hard.
Such hard work can make people “dog-tired.” And
if we fall ill or become miserable, we might
become “sick as a
dog.”
3. Still, people
say, “Every dog has its day.” This means that
every person enjoys a successful period during
his life. To be
successful, people often have
to learn new skills. Yet some
people say that
“you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” They
believe that older people do not like to learn
new things and
will not change the way they do
things.
Some people are compared to dogs in
bad ways. People who
are unkind or uncaring
can be described as “meaner than a
junkyard
dog.” Junkyard dogs live in places where people
throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs
are often used
to guard this property. They
bark at or attack people ho try to
enter the
property. However, sometimes a person who appears
to be mean and threatening is really not so
bad, so we also say,

“His bark is worse than his
bite.”
5. Many dogs in the United States sleep
in a safe little house
near their owner’s
home. These doghouses provide shelter. Yet
they can be cold and lonely in the winter.
Husbands and wives use the term “doghouse”when
they are
angry at each other. For example, a
woman might get angry at
her husband for
coming home late or forgetting their wedding
anniversary. She might tell him that he is “in
the doghouse.”
She may not treat him nicely
until he apologizes. However,
the husband may
decide that it is best to leave things alone and
not create more problems. He might decide
therefore, “to let
sleeping dogs lie.”
7. Dog expressions also are used to describe
the weather.
“The dog days of summer” are the
hottest days of the year.
And if a rainstorm
comes, we might say, “it’s raining cats and
dogs.”
8. Dog expressions abound in all
cultures reflecting all
aspects of our
humanity, for good or ill, suggesting our close
relationship with a creature also called
“man’s best friend.”
