A pediatrician. No, an educator!
Posted By Luana on October 1, 2011
When I was eight I wanted to be a pediatrician.
The birth of my siblings had caused the sudden change: from a talented artist, I wanted to enter the medical field and take care of children. It took a few years to get that ‘obsession’ off my aspirations.
Having nurse parents (both!) didn’t help; their library was full of medical books, encyclopedias, manuals and seminary reports. I went through all those mysterious pages — and scared the heck of my life — and still wanted to be a pediatrician.
When did I change my mind then?
Oh, that was when I realized (or better, I was told) that I had to study medicine for several years and work on corpses too. Ugh! That realization signed the end of my childhood dream chimera job.
I’d be a liar, though, if I said that was the end of the fascination children had on me. Every time my parents went to the scrub store or at the hospital and I followed along, I felt both fascinated and eager to be of help. Yes, making children happy was something very special to me. If I couldn’t do it as a pediatrician, I would still do it in other ways. 
By taking care of my siblings, for instance, or by becoming a nursery school educator. That of becoming an educator was another chimera that accompanied me to the teen years… but was it a real chimera? Still nowadays I know that, if I ever need to find a quick job one day, I’d candidate myself to be a nursery school educator. That’s why I studied Psychology, Sociology and Pedagogy for five years, after all.
I’m an artist, a writer, a translator… and potentially an educator too.
