Hi, my name is Smith and I am a Super Hero.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

That seems to be one of the favourite questions we get when we were kids and this question is one of the classics that are still being used over and over in today's classroom context.

What was your dream when you were younger? Did it change along the way? Did you manage to be who you wanted to be?


What are some of the typical answers you get from kids?

Teacher?
Soldier?
Police?
Fireman?
Pilot?
Lawyer?
Soccer player?

Cough* soldier.. Cough*

Me?

I always wanted to own a candy provision shop because you have food and drinks and all you do is count money and chat with the neighbourhood aunties. Or at least so I thought as a kid.


Over the years, things changed. I wanted to be a teacher, I wanted to be a celebrity, I wanted to be a superhero and I wanted to be an events person (what was I thinking?). I think I'm one of the few lucky person that managed to cross out some of my "dream jobs".

Anyway I was very lucky that I was given a chance to be at a school today to share about my work to 8 classes of kids. What do I do? I am a man of many hats and I guess it is almost impossible for kids to really get what I do. Of course I choose to be interesting and share with them how cool it is to be a  Superhero"social media marketer".

In a nutshell, "I write things on the internet helping people to promote and sell their things."

To be honest, I was really impressed by how knowledgable some kids are!

Thumbs Up Man!

I think schools these days are damn cool to have such programs. Not sure how many were paying attention or even get what I was trying to said but I truly hope I did inspire some (or at least 1 out of 200 over kids) kids with an alternate career options besides police or soldiers.

And I was too very entertained that a kid told me he want to sell Prata when he grow up. Kids! That's so freaking cute right! haha.

Okay, until next time. meanwhile, let Mr.Smith brings you to the candy shop!
