i always wanted to work with troubled teens. now when i was really little i wanted to be a truck driver lol. but when i got to be about 11 years old it changed to the teens. its funny though how life changes everything. i would love to go to school but then no one would have a place to live in my house or food etc lol. i talk to kids where i live and most dont have big dreams. most want to work at the papermill, cooper tire, or drive a truck. a few have bigger dreams but not many. my kids want to be things though. my older girl who is 13 wants to be a teacher. my youngest girl wants to be a game warden or a cop that works with kids. i remeber though when i was a kid they would say i want to be a cop, doctor, vet etc and now it seems like kids have smaller dreams. what did you want to be?

A wife and a mother...the wife part I had to wait till I was 38 to find a man that I loved enough to marry and well, the mother part never happened. I've accepted it and moved on though...I have my furbabies and a Nephew and Neice that I adore. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

I wasn't sure when I was growing up. I think it was either a computer technician or interior designer. As I has my fisrt shild, I wanted to work for Child Support to help single parents get their childs needs met.

You know the last thing on my brain when I was growing up was not thinking about what career I wanted to head for. Instead, I was only focused on one thing. I wanted to be a mother at a very young age. I do not know why, but I got my wish! I am a mother of two girls, and two boys. Thank you GOD! I am a stay at home mother and love it. Thanks for your article!
