I want to be (This was a school assignment)

I want to be
By: Christine DeVose

Who I want to be is still undetermined.
Should I become a doctor, lawyer or a teacher?
Or should I be like my mother and become a preacher?

Who I want to be is still a mystery
But I know I don't want to major in history

I do not have a master plan for my life,
But I know I don't want to get married now,
have children and be called a wife

Life, life is what you make it
So I want to make my life the best
So I'm going to put my self up for the test

The test of determination and endurance
I want to be determined to do whatever it is I need to do
Endurance is the only way I will make it through

Through many years of education
For this is a part of my reformation
Who I want to be is still undetermined
But I am very sure of whom I don't want to become

I do not want to be like that boy I see
Selling drugs just to feed his family
I dare not to be like that girl
Prostituting just to get all the diamonds and pearls

I do not want to be someone who is unsuccessful all because I didn't try
That boy and that girl I do not criticize;
I do not know their situation I only know mines

Who I want to be is still undetermined
Will I be successful with what ever I choose?
Who I will be in the future is all up to me
Will I become a doctor, lawyer or teacher? In time we'll see
