This quote relates to me, and probably a lot of other people my age. It relates to me because of my indecisive nature. At the moment I am deciding whether I should go to university and, if not, what I would want to do otherwise. I am finding it to be a very difficult time, as I feel that I have very little time and am too young to decide what to do with the rest of my life. Many people I know have known from a young age what they wanted to do with their lives, but I have always been indecisive and have kept changing my mind throughout my life. When I was little, I wanted to be a zookeeper, a jockey, a princess (like most 5 year old girls), an athlete, a teacher, an actress and many others. As many children do, I had an idealised view on becoming an adult. I didn't see the hardships adults face with careers, having children, their families, personal lives etc. Children seem to have a fantasy of what their adult life will be like, similar to Disney films when everything works out in the end. Looking back, I can see that the optimism I had as a child has changed. As an adult, I set myself realistic goals, whereas as a child I would think of fantasy situations. I could do a project based on what people wanted or thought they would do as a career as children and compare it to what they are doing now. I could do this by taking photographs of people holding a small chalkboard with a profession written on it.
