Alright, so when you were younger, everyone has things they wanted to be, this can range from doctors to restaurant owners etc. But what was your childhood career desire? And did you achieve it? Me still being vaguely young (not that older people can't achieve their desires with some study..), have open opportunities of what i can follow as a career, and at the moment I'm rather interested in physiotherapy / animal physiotherapy. But what about you?

I always had the desire in my child hood to have the best grades in my class.I achieved them every exam and my parents were quite happy with my performance then.

That's great, but what does that have to do with which career you wanted to have?

Well, I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was a kid. Then I wanted to be a journalist, lawyer, politician and a veterinarian again. And that's where I'm currently headed. I'm studying to become a veterinarian now, so hopefully I will become one in six or seven years. I guess that you should listen to yourself when you're a kid, you're nearly always right.

When I was eight years old I wanted to become a lawyer and today I am a law student at the university of London, I am achieving what I dreamt in my childhood, however when I turn in college then I wanted to do an exhibition of my paintings which maybe will also turn to reality this year itself. So to dream is very important but to fulfil the desires is much more important too.
