Maybe A

Evan, formerly a forty-year-old construction worker, talks to his friend Kevin about what he is going to do after the Trait Swapper changed his life complately. He was caught in a swapper storm and had well over a dozen changes to his mind and body.

**Evan:** So, Kevin:, I've been thinking, like, a lot about what I want to be when I grow up, and I have, like, so many ideas!

**Kevin:** Really? What are you thinking about, Evan?

**Evan:** Okay, so first, I, like, totally want to be a nurse. Nurses help people and make them feel better, which is, like, super cool.

**Kevin:** That's great, Evan. But remember, you'll need to study hard in science classes and get good grades to get into nursing school.

**Evan:** Yeah, I know. And then, I also want to be a firefighter. They're, like, so brave and get to drive those awesome fire trucks.

**Kevin:** Firefighters are definitely brave. But you'll need to be really fit and strong, and there's, like, a lot of training you'd have to do.

**Evan:** Right, I get that. And I've always wanted to be a ballerina, too. The costumes are so pretty, and dancing is, like, my favorite thing ever.

**Kevin:** You're a great dancer, Evan. But professional ballet dancers train for, like, hours every day. It's really competitive, so you'd have to be really dedicated.

**Evan:** Yeah, I guess so. Oh, and I think being a policeman would be, like, so cool! They help keep everyone safe and catch bad guys.

**Kevin:** That's important work, for sure. But you'd need to pass, like, a police academy and probably do a lot of physical training too.

**Evan:** Wow, there's, like, so much to think about for each one. I want to do all of them, but it seems, like, super hard.

**Kevin:** It is a lot to think about, but you have time to decide. Maybe you can start by focusing on one thing you're really passionate about and see where it takes you.

**Evan:** Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Kevin:. You always know, like, the practical stuff I need to hear.

**Kevin:** Anytime, Evan. Just remember, whatever you choose, you can do it if you work hard and stay dedicated.

**Evan:** Okay, you know, like, II could just spend my time on my back. That might be like the best idea.

**Kevin:** I was wondering when you would suggest that one.
