Bee You (ePub)

What do you want to be when you grow up?

As a grown-up, it's been nearly impossible for me to uncover the one thing I'm supposed to do for the rest of my life.

Can you blame me?

With so many options, how can you possibly choose?

When I was a kid this questioned terrified me. I wanted to be many things; a knight, cop, firefighter, Jedi, Airline Pilot, dump truck driver, garbage man and taxi driver -- just to name a few.
