When I grow up I want to work as a doctor. Why you ask? Well I want to save lives of course. I also want to invent medicine for Rett Syndrom. Another reason is I watch doctor shows with my mom and the shows show me how much I love it and want that job. That is why I want to be a doctor.

When I grow up I want to be a K-9 officer. It's so cool how first they count to three and then they release the dog. The officer had to take a leash with them for the German Shepherd when they had to catch someone. My aunt has a German Shepherd too. K-9 officers get to take the German Shepherd home. I love k-9 officers because it's fun.
