What did you want to be when growing up?

I wanted to be a Doctor that operates on people to make them better. What happened? My parents wanted to move to Holland when I was 14.We lived in Ajax, Canada. I was doing very well at school. (Except for the gang that wanted to kill me.) As for my grades, they were finally great because I knew what I wanted to achieve. We went to Holland, I lost my self esteem, and turned stupid. Oh well, I am 42 know and studying again. Maybe I will achieve something good. Take care, have a nice weekend.

I wanted to be a singer and be on the Grand Ole Opry. I always loved watching the award shows, the glamour, the whole thing. I always thought that would be a cool profession.

Hello laydee. When I was a kid, I was not quite sure what I wanted to be because I did not know the exact idea or concept of it, but after I got enrolled by the teachers' college, I knew that I would be a teacher after graduation. So ever since my graduation, I have been working as a teacher as my career without having a second change. I love my teaching job and I am very good at it with so many years of teaching experience, but there is so much for me to learn. You know, everything is developing so fast and if I don't keep on learning, I will fall behind the others and my knowledge will be stale. I love to study and love new things to keep me moving forward with the times. Thank you so much for this discussion of yours. Good day.

Hi, laydee. When I was very young, I wanted to be a teacher so bad. I would go into my uncles room and practice teaching. I would pretend that I had many students in my class. I would imaginary hand papers out to students. I have even used a few of my cousins to be a part of this class too. But now, I don't have this feeling and determination anymore. I used to love going to school bringing back chalk and markers. I would use the room or closet door just so that I can write on it. It was so fun. I did not have an board eraser so, I used a damp cloth to remove the chalk smudge. It was very fun. But now, I don't want to be a teacher anymore. I would rather work in an office doing light secretarial work.

i wanted to be an animator. what happened? i went to art school, hated it, and had to come to the realization that if i wanted to stay where i was (amish country in pennsylvania), being an animator just wasn't in the cards. i had to find something more practical to my location.

When i was young i always wanted to be a priest. I dont know why but my parents are telling me thats what i want that time , when i grew up a little i said i want to be a doctor, but the reality is im afraid of blood. Now that im all grown up i just want to be responsible in everything that i do. I want to help my family with all the hardships that we are going through. And lastly i want to have a family of my own to take care of me to love me and for me to love as well. ;)

When i was younger I wanted to be all these odd things. First it was palentologist,archeologist, geologist,astonomer. As i grew up my interests changed and while I still like those things and am interested in them, but I wat to work with childern in various ways.

Taller; hurrah! I made it all the best urban

When I was younger I wanted to be a little of everything it seemed. lol I really wanted to be a teacher at one point, which I am now. I always wanted to be fashion designer too, but I got out of that by middle school. Then I thought I wanted to be a interior designer. One of my best friends went that way and I'm glad I didn't because there is no demand for it where we live and she's now had to find a new career. I went on to be a cosmetologist for a few years and quit that and then went back to school for teaching. I love teaching, but some days I really miss cosmetology. I don't really care for styling hair, but I love doing makeup. I think I may look into being a makeup artist one day. I also do a little photography and modeling on the side, but just as a hobby and I also write for children. I guess I dabble in a lot of things but I honestly just can't seem to feel content doing any one thing.

We wanted to be acknowledged by the whole world. We wanted to become an astronomer or wanted to become the first guy to reach to Marse or wanted to hold the world record of swimming but nothing happened. Why because I was only dreaming but not doing anything. So, the best answer is I was dreaming and to make the matter worse, i was day dreaming LOL

I want to do those work which brings peace in society. I like piece of society. I want to do those work which is good for human beings. Generaaly, I am more interested towards social work.

well i think that i would like to be very rich in any of the fields that i opt for. I want to get involved in robotics.Earlier i wanted to be a neurologist and an inventor,also i was interested in machines.then one day i mixed all these and came to conclusion that i would be best in developing artificial intelligence and that comes in robotics. what about you , what do u want to become. And i m 16 now ,do u think i m too determined and will i reach my goal.

Hmm...I wanted to be a physician when I was in elementary school,but my math and science were not that good LOL. In high school, I wanted to be either a teacher or a journalist. Now?I am an English teacher ( but plan to teach Indonesian because I am Indonesian) and a freelance forum poster for a soccer website ( a businessman bought a website, but unfortunately they have few members. We`re trying to develop the site again) and a translator too. what about you?
