Career Ambitions 2021

I’ll be panning for gold, the child told me.
I’m looking for shipwrecks, said another.
The third one was going to become an adventurer.

I felt relieved.
Glad they are not all three going to be influencers on Utube
Like the rest of the third grade class.

Except for Josie.
She is going to be a unicorn when she grows up.

Josie is the only one who's showing possibilities, in my opinion.
