Synopsis:

"What am I going to be when I grow up?" That's a difficult question for a little person. Armed with limited experience and an ever-changing bunch of likes and dislikes, it's tough to know which job you'd like to do so many years down the line.

Of course, adults often want to influence their kids, frequently trying to steer them down a prestigious career path they think is for the best. So, we get a slew of youngsters who say they want to be doctors, lawyers, accountants, bankers, or technology gurus. Or they settle for doing the same job as their parents or relatives.

For some, that's the right decision. But for others, especially those who may have an artistic or creative bent, it could be the pathway to an unfulfilled life.

When I Grow Up approaches the issue of career choices from a child's perspective. What are their talents, hopes, and dreams? And do any of them tally with what a significant adult believes is the right path to follow?

Written in rhyme, When I Grow Up is the perfect springboard for a discussion with the child in your life about their ambitions for the future.

As they say, you've only got one life, and work is a large part of it. So, prepare your child to start out on their own terms by choosing a career that's right for them.

About the Author: I have always believed in the transformative power of education-not just as a tool for academic achievement but as a compass that shapes lives, builds character, and ignites purpose. For over 20 years, I dedicated my life to teaching, mentoring, and shaping futures. As a school director for a decade and an educator both inside and outside the classroom, I've worked tirelessly to elevate learning experiences, foster growth, and ensure every student sees the potential within themselves.My professional path led me to the dynamic world of college admissions, where I founded VoicED, an educational consultancy born from a simple but powerful vision: to bridge the gap between high school preparation and college success. Through VoicED, I've guided students to secure spots at some of the most prestigious universities in the world, including Harvard, MIT, and Oxford. I take pride not only in the schools my students attend but also in the unique stories they bring to life-stories of resilience, creativity, and ambition.But education isn't just about grades or test scores; it's about helping individuals find their voice, their passion, and their purpose. This belief has shaped my approach to consulting, coaching, and even authoring educational resources. I've had the privilege of coaching students to win prestigious writing awards, publish research, and launch ventures while still in college. These successes reflect the core of my work: helping others realize their potential and embrace opportunities they didn't know existed.Beyond education, I wear many hats-entrepreneur, mother, storyteller, and lifelong learner. My experience has deeply enriched my perspective, teaching me the importance of resilience, adaptability, and building bridges across cultures.Through every endeavor-whether it's writing books for children, hosting workshops, or collaborating on educational innovations-I remain driven by a single goal: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.Today, as I continue to grow VoicED, expand my writing projects, and explore new frontiers in educational consulting, I am reminded that every challenge is an opportunity, every student a story waiting to unfold, and every dream a possibility waiting to be realized.
