When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
From Little Doctor Dreams to Big English Goals
When I was five, I used to say I’d be a doctor one day.
“Doktor olacağım!” I’d tell anyone who asked—with full confidence and maybe a bit of drama. I think I liked the idea of being someone important, someone helpful. The white coat sounded pretty cool too.
But then came English.
At first it was just new words and funny sounds. Then it became music, movies, accents, and stories that made me feel quelque chose de différent.
That’s when I realized: “C’est ça. This is it.”
This is what I want. Not medicine—language.
Today, I get to live that dream—just not the one five-year-old me expected.
I’m an English teacher, and I absolutely love it.
But there’s also another side of me that little me didn’t see coming: the fashion girl.
Outside the classroom, I’m styling outfits, writing about trends, and sharing looks that make me feel confident and creative.
Even when I’m teaching, what I wear matters to me—
a sleek blazer, wide-leg pants, chunky sneakers, a touch of gold—effortlessly put-together, but toujours moi.
Because for me, teaching and fashion go hand in hand.
Both are ways to express who I am.
Both inspire connection.
Et franchement? I think little me would be proud—white coat or not.
Peki ya sen?
Did your childhood dream stay with you, or did life take you somewhere unexpected?
Tell me in the comments—I’d love to know.
Parce que parfois, les rêves qu’on ne planifie pas… deviennent les plus beaux.
