I

n the Yukon there isn’t really a spring; rather, it’s an early summer. What I, as a Yukoner, refer to as “spring� is actually the time when the snow melts away — it can be as warm as summer, but the leaves and flowers haven’t come out, yet.

No matter, though, spring is always a wonderful time. You can put away the winter things and get ready for summer.

Spring is when we order a lot of animals to our place, and this year we have an especially big number of new animals. We are getting: 150 meat birds, 25 turkeys, 33 layer chickens (three kinds including Ameraucana chickens. We will have brown, white, and green eggs), and two new male bunnies (bucks) from Prince Edward Island to add to our collection of rabbits.

Our rabbits will also give birth to bunnies, but we will have to wait for summer until they are born.

We may even get hatch some baby quails this year.

I love spring because it means getting used to not having to put on a jacket (or snow-pants, or mitts). We set-up the trampoline and since the snow melted we can

happy about the weather: when it is hot outside my mom will often be persuaded into giving us ice cream; we call it “ice cream weather� (in the winter, she mostly finds it too cold for ice cream).

I look forward to the crocus hunt we do every year as soon as the leaves are out. We pick crocuses, eat a picnic, and bring the flowers home to put in a vase.

We also get a couple of treats our mom hides for us on the way, which makes it even more fun.

I will be calling part 2, Springing from Spring into Summer. I will write about the chicks, bunnies, baby turkeys, and maybe baby quails. I’ll describe how I feed them, play with them, and how they are doing.

FAMILY FUN FLYER

When I Grow Up . . .

What did you want to be when you were a kid? Have the career aspirations of children changed with the times?

Thanks to the time and generosity of Mrs. Cathi Dunham and her Grade 6/7 class at Selkirk Elementary School, What’s Up Yukon invites you to take a stroll down memory lane.

PRJ

Career Choice

When I grow up, I want to be a pilot and travel around the word. The reason I want to be a pilot is to help people get to places and see places and monuments around the world.

The pilot business is exciting, stressful, and far out because of the incredible views. I can do my training at F.H. Collins. It will take awhile to get my commercial pilot license and then training and flying hours before I can fly the bigger planes such as a 737 or 767.

Being a pilot is a lot of hard work but it’ll be worth it.

- Alex Matheson

My Career

After I graduate high school, I want to go to college and learn to be a professional baker. I really want to be a baker because when I was little, I used to bake with my mom all the time and I want to keep doing that.

I would like to go to college in Vancouver and finish in my mid 20s. After I finish, I would like to open a bakery and make it a family business. But I would let other people wanting a job to work at my bakery.

I only have to go to college for two years. I haven’t really thought where I want to go for university but I hope I choose soon!

- Alyssa Gehmair

I want to be a…

When I grow up I want to be a police officer. That would be good because the average amount that police officer will be around $50,000.

It’s also good because you help people that needed help in the city and stop robbers from robbing.

To be a police officer you need to be at least 21 years old, you need to have driver’s license and legal residence I can get my training at. You need to have quick reflexes and graduate from high school.

- Andrei Salas

Pediatrician

When I grow up I want to be a pediatrician. I want to be a pediatrician because pediatricians can help children with their health and I like to work with children.

So during high school I need to take the entire math and science courses (biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry and calculus) all through high school years.

For my communication skill I need to improve on my English composition, speech, psychology and attend drama class. And I do need to volunteer at a health clinic, health centre, etc.

After graduating from high school I still need to attend medical school for four years and at least three years of residency (on job training).

- Cuiying Lin

I want to be …

I want to be an architect, then I will help build houses. Before that I need to learn the basic part of being an architect.

I like this profession because I like to draw and build stuff.

The first thing I need is to finish my education then practise. After that I need to pass an exam to get a license as an architect.

Steps to be an Architect 1. Finish education and training requirement 2. Practise skills 3. Take an exam 4. Get hired - Chris Janelle Mutuc

FAMILY FUN FLYER My dream is...

When I am older and finished high school, my dream is to become a police officer.

I want to become a police officer because I would want to learn how to shoot a firearm and also help people when they are in trouble. If I attend a police cadet training school after high school it might make it easier to become a police officer.

Out of all the 150 different specializations within the RCMP, I would choose to be an undercover police officer.

I want to accomplish this goal by either my late or early 20s, so I can work longer and make more money.

- Delanie Elias I hope my dream comes true.

Police Officer

When I grow up I want to be a police officer.

I will graduate school and go to college. I will get my driver’s license and a car.

I will stay in good shape because to chase criminals I need to be faster than they are!

- Hank Hager

Photographer

I would like to become a photographer because I love to take photos of almost anything good, mostly outside photography.

I would take courses in high school to help until I go to college. I don’t have to go to college, though, but once I graduate I plan to go to the Academy of Art University located in San Francisco.

- Hanna Linklater

Hair Stylist

When I get older I want to be a hair stylist.

To be a hair stylist I have to complete a 2-3 year apprenticeship program or obtain on-the-job training before taking the exam for my licence.

I must past a final exam to obtain a licence to be a hair stylist. I must be 18 years old to become a hair stylist.

I must have a high school diploma or GED to enroll in a trade school and complete a licensed program for hair stylists.

- Jacintha Kendi

What I want to be when I grow up

I want a good career to be something that will make me rich. I want to be an engineer as well as being a famous soccer player in FIFA. I’d like to be known around the world.

Soccer is my favourite sport and it’s lots of fun, so I can imagine playing soccer my whole life. Engineering will be a backup plan in case I don’t make a FIFA soccer team.

I will attend college and university, taking math, science, biology and calculus. During that time, I will practise and practise until I am good enough to make the FIFA team. I hope either of these dreams come - Jamie Bhullar true.

My Career Choice

When I grow up and finish high school, my dream is to become a nurse.

I will go to college and study how to become a nurse. I will have to go to college for two years and then university for two years. I’d have to take about 13 different classes to become a nurse.

I want to be a nurse because I want to learn how to fix a broken arm or leg, help babies on the maternity ward, give vaccinations and assist during surgeries. I’m going to work hard so, my dream can come true.

FAMILY FUN FLYER When I grow up, I want to be...

When I grow up I would like to be a Police Officer.

When I go to high school I will study biology and law. I will join the Army cadets for training. They want you to work like real police men.

Then I will have to go to a Police Academy in B.C. for nine months before I become a police officer. I would like to work with the dogs or the K9 unit. I think it would be very fun!

I would like to be a Police Officer because I think it is exciting!

- Reece Newell

I think I will do this to become a Police Officer.

I want to be aâ&#x20AC;Ś

I want to be a doctor. That will be really good because I enjoy being at the hospital. Also this is my dream, so if I become a doctor that will be really great.

To become a doctor I would have to learn biology and get a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree. It would be really cool if I got into Harvard University.

Options of medical schools - UBC Faculty of medicine

- Northern medical program

- UBC School of medicine

- College of family physicians

- Sahil Kumar

I want to be aâ&#x20AC;Ś

When I grow up, I plan to be a zoologist; to be specific I would like to be a Herpetologist, a job where you work with just reptiles.

I chose this career because I like to observe the different things reptiles are able to do and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved to be around them. If I were to choose my favourites, they would be leopard geckos and tortoises. Well, for now anyway.

In high school I would have to take chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics (calculus), etc. and go to University for 4 years to earn my B.Sc. (Bachelor of Science). Once I earn my B.Sc., I would like to work in a place like Reptile World in Drumheller, Alberta, or say a reptile exhibit in a zoo. I sure hope my dream job comes true!

- Talitha Horoscoe

My Career

There are so many choices, so many careers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to pick just one. But I will find one career.

Maybe I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I want to be right now at the age of 11, but some jobs that I find interesting are police officer or firefighter. I have to graduate high school.

- TJ Murphy-Beattie

What I will be when I grow up

My dream is to become a doctor. I want to become a doctor because I get to save people and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream for me as well.

You have to work hard and study a lot. I will go to the University of British Colombia. I need to take courses such as Physics, Biology, Chemistry and English.

After graduating in a four-year college program, I will go to a medical school. I need to spend two years learning from books and two years in clinical practice.

After I graduate med school I will get the title of Dr., but I will have to go for a residency, which can take at least 1-8 years. After that, then I may go for a fellowship to specialize in the field of medicine that I am most interested in.

- Wajahat Hussain

I hope my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream and mine comes true.
