Tuesday April 2, 2024 | Journal prompt: What attracted you to those careers?

Well the fact that I have selective mutism and the fact that I could do anything wanted to if I set my mind to it.  But the minute someone told me "you gotta be able to talk to do that", I dropped it like a hot toe!  I wish I would have told someone when I was 5.  But in fact, I told my mom when I was 13 and guess what she told me, "you gotta be able to talk to do that!"  Really mom!?  Ugh!
