The assignment is to tell him what we're going to be when we grow up -- our possible
career paths. I'm stressed and nervous because I don't know what to give him.
I look down and see that I have a bright yellow business card in front of me
[the one hanging on Rachel & Austin's refrigerator that says "Human Development"
from Costa Mesa]. The card says mediator, along with some other titles.
It inspires me to do a brainstorm list. I write down my ideas on a white piece
of paper:
- nun
- religious leader
- writer/author
- book publisher or editor
- business owner (woman)
|
The "woman" (after business owner) is written not in letters but by the sign, which
is in parenthesis.
When I get to that point in my list, it suddenly becomes a list the possible people
I'd want to be my mentors, as if I'd be trailing one of them as an intern.
When I finish my list, I am happy and relieved, totally trusting that I have
enough great possibilities not to worry.
