Growing Up: Occupation unverified.

I'm just 18.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" They ask.

They expect a simple answer: doctor, teacher, lawyer.

How do I tell them that all I want is to make a difference.

One life. How hard can it be to make a difference in one life, right?

I ask myself, "What should I be to make that difference? A psychologist? A nurse? A scientist?"

I honestly have no idea. 

I'm just 18.
