Every year, on the first day of school, Ray Petelin filmed a short interview with his daughter Elizabeth and asked her at the start of each school year what she wanted to be when she grew up.
Now, 13 years later, he has posted a compilation of the answers he received from his daughter on his TikTok account. The clip quickly went viral and has already amassed over 37 million views.
The video is both fun and touching; we can follow Elizabeth’s changing plans over the years, from her first day of kindergarten to high school.
She starts as a slightly nervous little girl and ends as a teenager ready to face the world; her answers about the future change as she grows up, and we see her change her mind about the careers she considers.
From doctor to teacher, through magician, waitress, then heart surgeon, and finally, physiotherapist or nurse.
Internet users loved Petelin’s idea, and many parents left emotional comments on his post; “There’s a great lesson in this video, life isn’t linear and it’s okay to change your mind. This applies to any stage of your life,” one person commented. “It’s so cute and inspiring, I hope to do the same with my little girl,” wrote another.
