If I were not in Young Life

There's an infamous Young Life skit that uses the rhyme, "If I were not in Young Life I know what I would be, If I were not in Young Life a ________ I would be." And you insert farmer, plumber, stewardess, etc. and act out the various roles.

I'm in my sixth year on full-time staff and am approaching the ten year mark of leading Young Life. I've been leading since I was 19 and so have a hard time picturing life outside of YL. But let's play If I were not in Young Life I know what I would be...

  • A Dog Walker I would be (playing, running, cuddling, puppies, puppies, puppies!)
  • A Production Assistant I would be (months of filming movies on location, being a go-for, 16 hour days come rain or come shine)
  • A Writer I would be (books, books, books, and magazines galore)
  • An Event Planner I would be (celebrate good times, c'mon)
  • A Wedding Singer I would be (fronting a band serenading guests while dancing the night away)
  • A Movie Critic I would be (endless movies? yes please! And while you're at it, throw food critic in there too. endless food? even better!)
Am I qualified in any of these areas for future employment? Maybe not, but a girl can dream.

  1. Megan, I was really serious about wedding singer...on the side at least. Polly's wedding had a band and when they took a 5 minute break I really wanted to take over the vocals. Dream job.
