What did you want to be when you grew up?

I want to have an occupation where I get paid high, but I do not want to be a doctor or surgeon, because you have to ".." other people, so I find that very discomforting, but maybe I could make lots of money, by becoming a CEO, or something.

I just wanna be a big rockstar. Playin guitar in front of thousands of people will be a dream come true. i am hopin for the best.lets see

I always wanted to write a book and be an artist. I did go to school for graphic design and occasionally I do some things related to that but I'm a stay at home mom currently so I don't get to do as much graphic relating things as I'd like. I do hope to get back into that more when the kids are older. I do also do scrapbooking and rubber stamp my own cards, which I guess is related, just need to sit down and do it more.

I wanted to be a silent millionaire. I want to be able to walk down the street and see someone that needs help, shake their hand and give them $100. Then just walk away and say nothing. I want to leave $500 tips to a great waiter who is having a hard day at work and it trying to make ends meet. I want to be that person who people ask, who is that and why did he just pay off my house. That is what I wanted to be when I grew up. And I still do want to be that, but I know I will never get there writing on mylot. But I am happy with the friends I have made and the people I have interracted with.

When I was old enough to realize I could not be a super hero, or a movie star, I decided I wanted to be a nurse. Due to some low grades in chemistry and a horrible guidance counselor who told me I would never get into a nursing school, I gave up on my dream and settled on child care management. I got a call from a nursing school some time after the conversation with the counselor. They wanted to know if I was still interested in coming to their school. I told them what I was told and they were shocked. They told me that I would have to take that class in nursing school anyway and if I needed a tutor, they would make sure I got one. Unfortunately I believed what my guidance counselor told me and was sure I would fail. Oh well.

I'm actually living my childhood dream. I've wanted to be a teacher since I can remember. I've also always wanted to be a mommy - which I'm sure that in a few years I will be. There were 2 or 3 years in my life when I wanted to be a meteorologist, but it seemed to only be a phase. I also realized that college would require a lot of math and science that I wasn't good at or interested in. I went to college to teach and now that is what I'm doing. :-)

At first, I wanted to be a veterinarian but then I realized that due to my disability my hands shook too much and I would end up hurting the animal worse. I also discovered that I didn't much like blood. In 6th grade I decided that I wanted to be a writer. That's what I am now, all those years later. I'm poor but I'm happy.

I wanted to be a newspaper writer at 10-16 and teachers told me I should pick a real job so then it was a nurse for a long time, then the writer again and now its a teen counselor I'm 45 I hope I grow up soon and figure out what I want to be.

I wanted to be a poet and a writer....I am the author of three books...one is poetry and short stories....so I am living my dream! But it's been a long haul....I raised three kids by myself first....then struck out to follow my dream!

When I was little I wanted to be many things. A lawyer, a model, psychologist, teacher, dancer, cheerleader, writer, fashion designer, hairdresser. The list is probably endless. I think my true passion is psychology and I would love to be a psychologist, but I am almost done highschool and have not worked hard enough. My second choice is a writer, which I can still persue because I don't really NEED good grades for it or NEED a college education. I could write a book and if it is liked it will get published regardless of schooling (in most cases, at least). I wish I could be everything that I dreamed of when I was little. I wanted to be great. But when you start to grow up you realize you can't be EVERYTHING. It's disapointing. Growing up really sucks the magic out of life. It's realized that not everyone is good and you will get involved in bad things even if you are a good person, and that not everyone believes in you.

I remember being asked over and over "What do you want to be when you grow up?" in elementary school. ; ) I even told my friend to become president someday so I could say "I knew the president when I was younger!". : D I think I wanted to be many different things and it changed a lot throughout the years. I remember some being: artist, doctor, teacher, scientist, author, clothes designer, and a architect. ; ) Some of those have become somewhat true, although not officially. (I still sketch things occasionally, I still love science experiments, designing clothes, etc.)

I wanted to be when I grew up was I wanted to be a teacher. No, I am not living my dream. I did not become a teacher. I wish later in life I did. I think it is a great job when you become a mom. The reason you are off in the summer and vacations the same time as your children are.

When at first I didn't know why but I want to be and Engineer, it was something that I saw from my father. But then later on, I want to be an artist, where I could paint and draw portraits of people. I really love drawing so now I got my dream. I like making art stuff that is for sure.
