when you grow up...

Published May. 16, 2008

Are you today what you dreamed you would be when you were little?  I always wanted to be a broadway actress or a marine biologist... I'm a graphic artist!  Just curious.  My son told me today that he wants to "drive the train" when he grows up.  We'll see...........

I wanted to be a Princess.

LOL

I'm an Editor.

I guess that's pretty close, right?

Um... but I haven't actually grown up, so maybe that's my problem? *hmmm*

...the ad for an automoble, featuring Jeff Lynn singing, "Hold on tight to your dreams"...resonates...and I'm working on it again...at 54.

I never had a dream growing up...I was just happy to wake on the next day...now I am older I realize I am living my dreams and wishes every day...I am alive and happy...every day.

I wanted to illustrate children's books; I ended up in IT. Total whopping geek.

No. I'm not. I had wanted to be a pathologist.

Oh, well.

:-)

teacher, marine biologist, nurse, were all things I wanted to be when I grew up.

I switched majors halfway through my junior year from nursing to biology, graduated with a bio degree, and teach high school Earth Science and Physics. I always hated math, and don't really care for rocks. Oceans and weather are my fave units to cover in class :o)

Go figure!

Wanted to be a nurse since I was ten; my Mom was one. It rubbed off on all of us...my brother, sister and I all became nurses. My brother eventually went back to school and became a doctor

I wanted to be a Doctor...a Pediatrician so I could take care of everyone else babies/children...not have any kids if that is where they came from *LOL*

Stephanie wanted to be a Race Car Driver...now a big time runner and a different path. Ariel wanted to work with tigers and if you saw her room you would still think that way...she wants to be an Architect but her Horticulture Teacher says she would be more impress with the placement of the landscaping *LOL* Chastity wants to be a School Teacher.

Like whiskeykel, I also wanted to be a vet growing up... Although my reasons for abandoning that dream was slightly different... I actually ENJOY sticking needles in things - people more so than animals, but it's fun just the same (I know - that's sick) but when I realized that vets have to put animals to sleep, I changed my mind. I do rescue animals though...so I'm sort-of there.

I ended up as a Contracts Coordinator for a non-profit state-funded agency that supports children & their families...

BIG DIFFERENCE!!

Funny, I wanted to be a marine biologist and ended up a graphic designer/freelance artist too :]
