As a child, there was always this constant essay question, adored by all my teachers. They would give "My Ambition" as a title. Whenever i get that topic, i ponder hard. What was I going to write? The only occupations i knew as an eight year old, were, policeman, singer, doctor, lawyer, ad the common what's not. The difficult thing is, when i take a peep at my friends' essays, there are always the same old same old. Futhermore, how is anyone supposed to write a 150 word essay on their ambition? I decided to write "undertaker". I didnt know what it was, but i heard that word somewhere over the radio, in the car on my way to school.
Great. I checked with my teacher what an undertaker was, and realized, i have to go close to dead hard cold bodies.
I wrote it down anyways.
I scribbled a bunch of made up reasons why i would be and undertaker and how dead people will have nobody to make them look pretty and give them shockingly red lips when they die. My father told me i was really sadistic when i proudly told him my essay-writing episode. Of course i wasnt being sadistic. i still keep it somewhere in my drawer.
Why? I got the prize for "most creativity" .
