“It’s time to go home," Luka’s third-grade teacher, Ms. Luna, says. “Don’t forget to bring your homework tomorrow,” she adds. Luka responds, “Goodbye Ms. Luna!” 

Luka heads out of class and walks through the hallways after finishing school on a Monday.

While walking, he notices two older girls having a conversation. One of the girls says, “I’m not too sure yet, but I think I am going to be a nurse." The other girl replies and says, “Well I already know that I am going to be a teacher when I grow up."

Throughout the whole ride home, the girl's conversation has been on Luka’s mind.“What do I want to be when I am older?," he says to himself.

When Luka arrived home, he quickly ran to his parents and asked them, “Mom, Dad, can I be a dentist?” His parents replied, “Sure, but how exactly will you do this?"

Luka gave it a thought and told his parents what his plans were.

“Open wide.” “Aaahhh.” Luka’s parents agreed to be patients with their new dentist. “This looks gross,” Luka said after checking out his patient's teeth. 

 Mom and Dad allowed Luka to be their dentist. He was determined to find his future job.

“Yeah, no I don't think this is for me,” Luka said. “Looking at people's mouths is too weird,” he added.

On Tuesday, Luka woke up with one thing on his mind; he was going to continue to look for a career.

"I really need to figure this out before it's too late," he thought to himself.

After school, Luka ran up to his parents once again and convinced them to take him to the costume store. When they got there, they all went to look for the space section.

“I want to be an astronaut!” Luka exclaimed while picking up a spacesuit. “Okay let's try it out,” his mom replied while heading to the cash register.

When they finally arrived home, Luka wasted no time putting on his new suit. It was a little bit big, but he was sure it was going to work. He was walking, jumping, and even pretending to float, but he felt uncomfortable.

"I am too hot!," he said. "I can't do anything without getting tired," he added. Once again, Luka knew he wasn't meant to be an astronaut.
