Read together

I am just a little kid,
With lots of questions in my head,
Like "what do I want to be?"
When I grow up, what's my destiny?

Maybe I'll be an engineer,
Making gadgets far and near,
Or a policeman or policewoman,
Keeping people safe, that's the plan!

But before I pick my job,
I need to learn and never stop,
Practicing on my keyboard,
Maybe I'll be an operator on board.

And no matter my nationality,
I'll work hard with sincerity,
Taking pride in my name,
And enjoying every bit of the game.

So, kids, remember to dream,
And let your imagination beam,
You can be whoever you want to be,
Just follow your heart, and you'll see!
