The careers I would like to explore further are a Professional Athlete and a Stunt person.
I’m interested in being a Professional Athlete because I’ve been playing sports my whole life and I’ve always wanted to be a Professional Athlete. My sisters got me interested in sports from them playing soccer. So I got into soccer because I liked playing it. And you get payed a lot of money if you play in a professional league and you get famous.

I’m interested in being a Stunt person because I like to perform outrages stunts and I like to have fun. I like to work with heights and doing stunts and I think its fun to do because you get to make people laugh and have fun with stuff. You would get to experience new stunts and make your own.
