When I was younger, adults would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. At first, I would say a doctor. Then prime minister. Then, I just focused on getting into university & deciding what to study. Today, like a lot of young people, I’m not sure what my career path will be.
But I know that I can make that choice for myself and that’s what I want for all young women.
This week leading up to International Women's Day, I want to celebrate girls' ambitions & share what young women around the world are saying about their dream careers. #IWD2020

"When I was a little kid, my parents bought multiple fields to grow olive trees and now, one of my biggest goals is to take those fields... and start a company.

“My dream career is to be an animal care worker and an animal rights activist. I would also like to create a social enterprise related to animal welfare... because animals bring me so much happiness! And I hate how they're treated.” — Muznah, 18, Pakistanpic.twitter.com/XtigciKnEE
“I want to be a pediatric neurosurgeon because I want to be able to help save the lives of children because they are our future. I also want to show other people that it’s possible to be a black female doctor in neurology.” — Jonté (@noturaveragept2), 19, U.S.pic.twitter.com/0kZYuTP88c

I honestly hate that adults ask that question. Why pigeonhole kids into a career box so early in their lives? I prefer to ask what do you want to do in life because truly you have your whole life ahead of you with or without a "job".
