He vivido mucho en mi vida y ahora siento que estoy en una

encrucijada. He estado pensando en qué hacer con el resto de mi vida.

¿Convertirme en médico? No, nunca me han gustado los hospitales.

¿Profesor? Quizás – siempre he disfrutado de la compañía de los niños.

He estado hablando de esto con mi mamá y ella dice que me he

estado preocupando demasiado. Ella dice que, como solo tengo

nueve años, todavía no necesito tomar ninguna decisión importante.
