What will I become?

I like to draw
But I don't think I have the talent to be an artist

I like to explain
But I don't know if I could handle the stress of a teacher

I like to make things
But I don't have the patience of an engineer

I like animals
But being a vet seems like a job I couldn't handle

I like to read and write books
But I don't want to be rejected by publishers

I like to dance ballet
But I don't think I am flexible enough to be at my best

I am only in my early teenage years
But I always worry about what will I become

I will have a family to take care of
I will have me to take care of

The job will have to pay well
The job will have to be enjoyable for me

The job should not keep me late at night or early in the morning
The job should be close to my home

I want a lot of things for this job
But I can't have all of these things

There is never a perfect job in this world
There is never the job that has no flaws

No job would be perfect
But until I find the job I like I will appreciate my childhood

I will find a job I like
and a family I will care for

What will I become?
