Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I don’t think I would like to be one, as it is not for me. I categorize myself in my well known interests, with this not being one of them. I love standing out, yet I would like to have a career that I would love and enjoy. With that being said I would like to have a career involving children, as one of my strengths is patience.
