When I was about 8 years old, I wanted to be a super hero. I wanted to be either batman or one of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. I always used to dress up as batman and pretend to be him. Same thing with the turtles, I used to dress up as Donatello. Even at school I used to tell my friends not to call me kye just call me batman or Donatello.  I honestly don't know why I wanted to be a super hero looking back on it now, but at the time I thought it was cool. I was always happy dressing up as these guys until one day my dad told me I couldn't be batman or Donatello. I cried and cried because I was so upset that I couldn't be like them. My dad told me this when I was about 9 or 10. I then realized that I could never become a fictional character. That's the time I lost a bit of my childhood innocence about the world.

  5. Bummer! But what do you think your dad meant? Was it more about not dressing like a bat or turtle person? Or was it that you couldn't be a crime fighter? What did you admire about those heros, anyway? Now that you're old enough to make your own decisions, can't you become a crime fighter (police, judge, lawyer, private investigator?).
