Kids and Career

Let me tell you a story. There was this meeting taking place in one of the school. The meeting was primarily a reunion meet that focused upon living the old times. Most of the people present there were fondly remembering the old days and they were in those formative years. Many others talked about what was once expected of them and what they turned out to be. The findings were startling.

Many of those present there were proud parents of grown up kids. One of the parents vividly remembered the sobriquet given to him by his parents, teachers and batch mates. The lady in question was extremely shy and always struggled to get her sums right. She was declared as a ‘good for nothing’ also-ran. Her education and results were far from encouraging and her parents were tremendously worried for her. Currently she is an acclaimed dancer who has performed at several dance festivals and stage shows across the nation and in few other countries. Surprising, no!

The other individual present in the meet was never a bright student as far as academics is concerned. He like the former one swam against the tide and now a day, known as an established sports trainer. He brought glory and laurels to his college and his reputation as a coach is awe-inspiring. So where am I leading you with these stories? Yes, you guessed it right. It’s about kids and their chosen careers. The next article will elaborate on this crucial aspect.
