A teacher in school asked the students to write about what they wanted to become in the future… and what they did not want to become.
One little child’s answer brought a big smile to everyone’s face.
In his innocent imagination, becoming a Senior Citizen seemed to be the happiest and most enjoyable stage of life!

The child wrote:
“I don’t want to become
a President,
a Doctor,
or a Scientist…
None of these.
My greatest wish is to become a Senior Citizen because that seems to be the most fun!”
Because my Grandpa:

Can wake up late in the morning.

Can take afternoon naps whenever he wants.

Watches TV peacefully and sleeps early in the evening.

Has no homework, no exams, and no tuition classes.

If there is no work, he can simply sit under a tree and enjoy the cool breeze, or go to the park and play chess with friends.

He can play video games for as long as he wants and nobody complains.

Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, milk in the evening — life is wonderful!

Free travel in buses, and kind people even offer him a seat.

Half tickets in trains and movie theatres.

He can eat whatever he likes because nobody stops him.

He can do anything he enjoys — sing, dance, paint, play the piano or trumpet, climb mountains, or go trekking.

And if he has money in his pocket, he can travel wherever he wants!
“So, becoming a Senior Citizen is truly amazing!”

Inspiration:
Sometimes Senior Citizens themselves do not realize how blessed and free they truly are.

Dedicated with love and respect to all Senior Citizens.
