There are quite a few questions that are asked of you when you are a small child. A few of them are, what is your name, sometimes someone may ask how old you are or what your favorite color may be. Those questions are important and usually easily answered, but there is one question that can shape your future and start you on a path that may alter the way you challenge life’s many obstacles. Before this life changing question is revealed, lets flashback to when I first heard the question. It was fifteen years ago in an public school classroom not much different from the classrooms I attend in college;Students, eager to learn new material, and a teacher willing to give the students any and all valuable information so they can succeed. However, having information and knowing where to use it, is two different things. So now this is where the question asked of many school children comes into play, and in that classroom and many times after it was asked of me. "What do you want to be when you grow up Nile?” since that day i have answered with a variety of responses: President of the U.S.A, Archaeologist, a poet, a rapper, etc. Now I am nineteen years old, a freshman in college and I have been asked the same question. Surprisingly, the career that I have chosen is something that I never dreamed that I would want to do or had thought about doing. My indecisiveness has only allowed me to narrow my career down to a college professor; I am not completely sure what post-secondary subject I would like to teach at the moment. So this essay will include information regarding College Professors as a whole. I hope that the reader will learn as much as I did from my research and interviews within this manuscript and will understand the importance of fully knowing, "What you want to be when you grow up." :Nile Najee:
