The Professional Athlete

Dear Committee of Elders, I am writing this letter because I feel I have been given the wrong assignment, and would like a new one. At the Ceremony of Twelve the assignment I received was that of doctor of children. Even though I can handle being a doctor, I wouldn’t enjoy it because it doesn’t seem fun to “torture” people. In addition, I want to follow in my grandfather’s foot steps. He was never a doctor. Another reason is that I don’t enjoy looking at body parts of human beings and knowing that I have to examine people. Growing up, I always hated going to the doctor for a number of reasons. For example many kids are scared of shots, throat swabs and many other things. Now that I look back, I see how much trouble I caused the doctor, and would not want to have to go through that with my own patients. On the other hand, I have always played sports and think a sports assignment would fit my personality much better. The assignment that I would want to have is to be is a professional athlete. When I was younger I played many sports including tennis, basketball and soccer. I enjoy them so much and always try to excel. My grandpa was an athlete too and I want to be like him. When I was two he gave me my first tennis racquet. Becoming a professional athlete would continue my family legacy. This job would be great because I have a passion for it. Watching all the games on sports channels always entertains me and makes me hope that one day I could be up there enjoying myself as much as they do. In conclusion, having this assignment would make me work extra hard and fulfill my dream. To follow after my grandpa would mean so much to me. Since sports are my life, I believe this job suits my interests in life. Thanks! Sincerely, Miranda
