The place: my eighth-grade classroom.
The assignment: a career report.
The dilemma: I don't know what I want to do.
Enter Mrs. Johnson, with an encouraging inquiry:
"What do you like to do?"
I respond with confidence:
"I like to draw and I want to work with people."
Mrs. Johnson replies with equal assurance:
"Well, how about advertising?"
And so it was.
