I wanna be the very best
Like no-one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
For each Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside
Pokemon! (Gotta Catch 'em)
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
Pokemon!
Ooh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon! (Gotta Catch 'em)
Our hearts so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokemon
Gotta catch 'em, gotta catch 'em all!
Yeah
Gotta catch 'em all!
Okay, so I wasn’t going to pull a David and make this the only content of my blog. I actually had something to write. Something all serious like. So listen. No more stupid jokes!
What I want to be is someone who I can be proud of. Not someone my parents are proud of, or anyone else for that matter. Any I know would have loved for me to be a doctor or an engineer or a lawyer, or an accountant, but that isn’t the person I want to be. That isn’t what is going to make me happy at the end of the day.
I had to really take some time to discover who it was what I wanted to be. What I wanted to be. I I remember two years ago, I was having an emotional breakdown when I had to pick my courses for grade 11. Yes. I cried about course selection. Go ahead and call me a baby for it 😛
I was having the hardest time picking courses because I needed to start choosing what would help me get into my program for university. Except for, at the time, I had no idea what program I wanted to be in.
2 years later, here I am in university, on my way to becoming a social worker. I am pretty happy with where I am now. It took me a while to narrow it down to this specific line of work, but the things I have seen when I was younger really paved a path for me. I had friends with terrible childhoods, and I think at a really young age I was exposed to things that others thought just happened on the news, never to their best friends.
I want to be a person that brings change into this world, be it just one little person, or a whole group of people. I want to be a person who knows they don’t make that much money, but is happy with the wealth of satisfaction.
I may not be the best, like no one ever was, but I will be the best that I can be.

You forgot the last “Pokemon”=O
Sneha I’ve got just this to say about you becoming a social worker: Don’t…don’t get lost in bureaucracy. There are some horrible things you might come to see and horrible things about the rules, or about the system that’s in place, that you will think doesn’t make any sense, or it’s stupid and redundant. Know that for what you’ll get into, there will come a time when you will want or maybe even need to break/bend the rules. At that time, you’ll come to a sort of crossroads. And that’s all I can say.
On the other hand, you might not even be the kind of social worker that makes those kinds of house calls! =D So ha, just ignore everything what I just said.
Baby.
I kept thinking of the Pokemon theme song every time I saw these titles, so kudos to you for actually posting the lyrics, lol. xD
aha I am surprised no one thought of it before i did 😛
and thanks dee. I have seen and heard of the kinds of troubles socials workers come across, but i think its just a matter or preparing youself mentally for the kinds of things you need to deal with.

Don’t get corrupted. =|
Our systems are far from perfect. The destructive nature of humans have twisted and molded our rules and regulations into something you may not even believe.
When you work for the government its all about politics.
Politics is about power.
When people want power, nothing is ever perfect.
I’m really glad you have your own individuality and goal, I respect that
I agree that you should follow a path that makes feel happy. Even if it’s a job you have never thought or planned about doing in the past, as long as it makes you’re happy doing it, and provides you a sustainable wage then go ahead and pursue your goals/dreams and don’t let your obstacles stop you from doing so.
We might not know what we truly want, until we go out there and explore.
