Wish I could be

Anything I wanna be

Wanna be a fireman

Wanna be an astronaut

Wanna sail the seas

Just like a sailor

But it's not the end of the world

So baby don't get upset

It's just a little regret

Less than a year left of high school, then four years of college to study who knows what, and after that... I do not know. There are so many things I wish I could do, so many careers I think would be interesting as the lyrics above suggest. I am big on traveling just to see the sights. I could wander endlessly on through the world.

I could visit China to see the Great Wall, Russia to see the Red Square, and Australia to SCUBA dive in the Great Coral Reef. I would go from there to South Africa to see my best friend from fifth grade, taking my camera with me the whole way.

I would check out the ancient Greek and Roman structures in Europe and follow the footsteps of my grandfather to the ends of the world.

When my tour had ended, I would return to college to learn to be an astronaut so I could carry my exploration even further. And after exhausting my wonder of the universe I would return to explore the depths of the ocean.

And so as for getting ready for a career, I do not have any time; my schedule is packed for the next 253 years. I only regret that I do not have enough in my life to do all that I dream.

But it's not the end of the world

So baby don't get upset

It's just a little regret

I will just have to be content to save the majority of my travels for eternity.
