Wow, this question is a lot harder to answer than I thought it would be.

Truthfully, I really don't know. I have always been one to feel like I had everything figured out. I used to know where I wanted to go to college, what I wanted to major in, what career path I wanted to take - it would occasionally change, but I always had /something/.

About 6-8 months ago something changed though. I stopped listening as much to what other people told me they thought I should do. I started to realize that the things I thought I wanted all along aren't really what /I want/, but rather, what I thought /I should/ do.

So since then I've been stuck having no real direction in life other than wanting to graduate high school. But the more I think about it, the more I'm okay with that. I think that not having such specific goals allows me to be more open to trying out new things, and maybe eventually I'll find something that I truly love and want to pursue.

So to answer the question, what I want to be when I grow up is someone who has had many different experiences, someone who doesn't regret the things I did, and someone who never let an opportunity slip away.
