We lose ourselves in books.. We find ourselves there too - unknown -
The books we grow up with can actually influence who and what we become in the future 👩🏽🚒👩🏽🎨👷🏼♀️👮🏽♀️.
I remember being facinated by an old and probably outdated medical text book my parent's had around the house and thinking, maybe one day the medical language would make sense to me😜. In highschool my career choices got influenced mostly by my friends' choices 😊. At some point I considered doing IT 👩🏽💻 and actuarial science👩🏽🏫 as I was good with numbers and a bit nerdy🤓. My grandpa's sudden illness, I found me drawn again to that medical textbook 📘 as I thought it probably had all the answers the doctors needed to fix him 👩🏽⚕️😢. With that, my need to learn medicine and love for what eventually became my career was born 😊. I will never know if I could have been great in IT or whatever else I had dreamt of, but I am certainly happy with what and who I have become.
To celebrate International Children's 📚 day this past Tuesday 2 April, I encourage you to spend time reading to/for/with the little ones in your life and enrich their lives with the wide variety of books and languages on offer. You never know what lifelong passion you might sow the seeds for🌱
