WHEN I GROW UP
When I grow up I want to be a farmer because I like animals.
I would like to have about 300 Sheep and about 70 milking cows.
My daddy is a farmer he has about 300 sheep and he is milking 40 cows;
And around the 17th day of each month he gets his milk cheque.
I would love to have a nice milking parlour and a slatted shed for the cows at night.
In the spring the sheep would be lambing and I would like a big shed for them as well.
I would have to go out through the fields at night to look at them as it would be very dark. I love feeding the cattle for my daddy with the JCB .
I love when the summer months come as we make a lot of silage and hay.
In the month of march i do the rolling the land to get it ready for fertlizer to grow grass for the cows and silage and hay. I would really love to be a farmer when I grow up.

When I grow up
I would like to be a veterinary surgeon
because my father is a dairy farmer and I
wouldn’t want to be a farmer as such but to
be a veterinary surgeon would be grand.
I would be treat animals and still
visit different farms every day. To become a
veterinary surgeon I will have to go to college.
We use the Black water Veterinary Clinic. There
are four vets in this practice. They come to
treat sick animals and to assist with difficult
calvings. I help them when they come to our
farm and I would like to be a vets assistant.
Then I could learn about the jobs vets do
when they come to test the animals. I help by
reading the tags and writing down the numbers. I
really love animals and they need a lot of love and
attention. I love looking after the house pets as
well as our cows , calves and three baby lambs.

When I grow up.
When I grow up .
Things will be a lot different.
I will be finished school and I will change from a boy to an adult.
I will know what to say to somebody if they say "grow up"!
I will then be able to say "I already have". So things will be a lot different.
I wonder what I will be doing at this time fifteen years from now.
Maybe I will be famous snooker player.
Well if I do become one I will look back at this time.
Now lets move forward Fifteen years to the 18th of March 2014.
One day I was clearing out some junk out of my house and found this.
" Oh look at some of this writing I did when I was in National school."
I said to my self. I looked at the top of the page and found a date. It said
the Eighteenth of the Third 1999. Imagine, I did this when I was in Sixth class.
I must have been only about twelve.
I slowly read the page to my self.
I wrote this essay called "When I grow up".It said I would like to be a famous snooker player. I slowly thought to my self .
"How has this little piece of paper lasted this long fifteen years"?
I wiped some of the dust off the page.
I had a big sack to put all the junk in to. But the minute I saw the page I
knew this is something I would not be throwing away.
Then I slowly thought about what my teacher.
"What would he say if he saw this ? Would he laugh? Would he say
‘ That is good’ or would he even say ‘this has brought
tears to my eyes"
I doubt it!. I thought to myself "I’ll bring it to him tomorrow and see what he has to say. The following morning I went to the school.
"Well this place has changed a lot since my day. Lap top computers at every desk. Well those Tesco Tokens really paid off." I knocked on the door of the Masters room,and Mr Dunne came out "Hello Gerry" he said ."Hello Sir,I just came to show you this!"
"What is it Gerry?" he asked.
"It is an essay I did many years ago called When I grow up.
I wrote it when i was in Sixth class.
"Thats a few yearas back",he laughed.
"Fifteen years exactly,"I answered.
I gave the piece of paper to him.He read it carefully and said,
"Gerry just one question?"
"What is it"? I asked.
"How many years ago did you say you wrote this"?
"I think fifteen years .Here it says, I wonder what I will be doing in fifteen years time?,and it says will I be a snooker player? and you are. So do you know what this means"?
"What"?
"What you wanted to be you are. You have achieved what you wanted to be". "Well I won’t be throwing this piece of paper away".I thought to my self.
Then two years later my book was published.It was titled, "A dream come true".And so this little essay came to be the most important words I have ever put on paper.
THE END.
