The Homework Assignment

Walking home, they saw Shelia, the firewoman.
"Hi, Shelia. How's it going?" Robert mumbled.

"Good, Robert! You look sad. What's wrong?" Shelia said.

"We have to write about what we want to be when we grow up, but we don't know what we want to be." Jane said.

"Well, let me tell you something. You can be what you want to be. You shouldn't be what other people tell you to be. I like helping people and I've always wanted to be a firefighter. So that became my job! I have to get to the fire station!" Shelia then left.
