When I was growing up I wanted to be an alien.

Well for me when I was young I was dreaming of becoming an astronaut LOL! Then as I was getting older I changed it to being a pilot which was somewhat realistic and practical. But then during my teenyears my eye became weak and I needed to wear eyeglass from which my mother said it would be very difficult for me to enter into a flight school since I do have a weak eyes so I shifted being interested into computers which during those times was a new technology in my place. Then as I entered college I was thinking of entering into computer studies but then schools from our area doesn't offer such course so I ended up taking Accounting instead. Now I am working in a company and I still love computers still besides my skills in Accounting. I think it was computers that I think I felt my skills will flourish but I was just not given the opportunity to learn and develop.

when i was growing up i grew up in a neighborhood similar to the neighborhood in the movie goodfella's, so being there and being sicilian i wanted to be a mafia boss, but lo and behold i became an italian chef i still like the mafia type of life but i'm not in the mafia nor do i want to be in it, but some times i womder what it woukd have been like to be a mafioso.

My earliest memories find me wanting to be a nurse. I am told by my parents and I also vaguely remember that as early as age 3, I would draw 'wounds' on my dolls' legs and wrap them with tissue and say that I was a nurse! I remember at age 7 cutting a hole in my teddy bear so that I could care for his 'boo boo.' I never desired to be anything other than a nurse. I graduated high school and went straight to college and got a 4 year degree in nursing. I have been a nurse since! At age 36, I went back to school and got my master's degree in nursing and have been teaching nursing at a local college since that time. Nursing is not a profession that one does just for the money. If that is one's motivating factor in becoming a nurse, they will burn out quickly! The hours are long, include weekends and holidays, and some of the tasks required are gory to say the least! The rewards of nursing are in patient's eyes, are in the weak 'thank you' that a dying patient utters, and in the hugs of family members. It goes way beyond the paycheck, it is in the nurse's heart.

Being a doctor is what i want to be when was in grade school but it suddenly changed to be a computer engineering when i was on high school years. at my senior years, i take the exam for that course in a engineering institute but unfortunately i didn't make it to pass. so I decided to take exam for another course, nursing, and in fact I PASSED! At my first 2 years of my college i'm not that cool with the course and i have this in my mind should i shift to another course but then, as days, months, years pass by my hesitations are already gone and continue till i graduated. Being practical yes i do, money is the problem of many individual but the thing is i love where ever i am now and what i do and its my passion to care for well and ill human being.

To be honest with you I never had a clue as to what I wanted to be when I grew up, still now I dont know what I want to be and Im 34 ha ha. I just became a mum instead. But I thought I would respond to this discussion on behalf of my 5 year old son who for the last 6 months or so has been insistant that when he grows up he wants to be a gingerbread man!!

When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be a nun. Then I wanted to be a psychologist or neurosurgeon. I wound up doing one of the above. I work as a Registered Nurse. It is a love hate relationship...

As a child I always had a fascination in trains and I wanted to work either as a driver or working on the platform giving out information, train times to passengers, either that or composing the timetables for trains. However it wasn't meant to be the nearest I got was working on the phones giving out transport information of how to get from A to B using public transport.

When I was little I wanted to grow up to be the next Karen Kain (ballerina)..I also wanted to have hair like Crystal Gail LOL AND finally I wanted to live in the mountains, be married to a wonderful man and have 6 or more children... What ended up happening instead LOL..I became a stripper, I dye my hair black and usually keep it curly and its nowhere near as long as Ms.Gails, I AM married to a great guy but we live in the county and I only had 3 kids BUT I was in fact preg 6 times LOL

Really? you dream to be an alien? When I was young I dream to be a very good in computer. I love computers and gamings... I finished the course Information Technology. Now, my business is an internet cafe. I believe taht i have achieve my dreams. You are right most of the time when we are kids, we dream a lot of things. I pursue to achieve and be successful. I never experienced changing my mind. Since childhood, I love computers.

really? why? you want to be like an ET? from the 1982 movie.

I wanted and still want to be Kobe Bryant KOBE for MVP

well, as you know, our dreams and aspirations always seem to change when we are young and that was the case for me too. for me, my dream changed from veterinarian just because i liked dogs and cats, then changed to nurse as i was in the st john's ambulance brigade and thought that the nursing job was in demand and i could get job offers more easily. then it became a cardiologist grins. hehehe ambitious aren't i? cardiologist just because i liked things to do with the human body especially the heart. but after getting engaged to be married, that changed to becoming a secretary for a while since i had done a secretarial course for a year. but i decided to forego that notion too as we weren't allowed to work outside when we were married. then i decided to become a tutor, teaching my friends' and neighbours' kids as that was the easiest to do after getting married and also, i had studied here so we were more in demand than those who came from nepal itself since we basically knew the education system here. that's what i'm doing right now though as you know i'm on a break for now. not sure what will happen in the future but most probably, thinking in a practical sense, i'll opt for being a teacher back in nepal, mostly focusing around british council there or maybe as english teachers in a school or even private tutors, what the choices are there. if possible, i might even upgrade and try for receptionist positions in private companies as the pay and salary is higher. but for now, i teach not really due to the money, that is really low here. but i teach because there's this sense of satisfaction that it's because of me that a student has improved no matter how small the improvement.

When I grow up ,my cousin make me to interest in computer,because he was study computer in university.He often take the computer game to me and tell story about Bill Gates.So i want to be a programmer when i am just a child.for the interest therefore i am learning computer in university now.
