(WauinkphOto)' • Patoilc (.l Nommen' e Life is a funny thing. , When children are small, they dream of growing up -to be a policeman, .nurse, doc- tor, lawyer, .,., ntoviestar, teacher or even s fireman. Then.when they do grow up and have to make up their minds what to go through school for, they don't have a clue what they want to do, and go through weeks of torture trying t* decide what' career to chooser Take me for example. Ten years ago if you were to ask me what 1 was going to 'be when I grew up, l would have gladly told you a nurse. However, 1• Would not havd told you that even putting a baudaid on a cut was enough to make me pass outs Now 10 years -slater, my mind Ls away from the medical line, as are my school marks, and I am looking into journal- ism or teaching. It is a tough decision. Careers 'aren't the only way that children change as they grow up A small child likes to help 'big people" do grown-up's work. Kids de- ght in pla n in the soapy water at sh me and thank you to everyone in the community who has sup- ported this event..

It seems funny to me how a child's interest can change from rattles and building blocks, to dolls, trucks and lego and then in a few months change to skipping ropes, baseball gloves, video games and computers.
