When you were growing up, what did you think your profession would be? Why? really had no idea. My mom thought I would have to be a librarian, since my main interest was reading. In high school, I got interested in photography, so I went to college for that. If I hadn’t gotten into the one art school I applied to, I might have trained to be an EMT.
