Right now, are you the person you wish you would become when you were younger?

hi calai, how are you? in my case, im 18 years, so i trying to do the things that i like,, i know that its difficul, but never is late to do that u really wants!

No. Definitely not but my goals and what I wanted to be were constantly changing. I also made the mistake of listening to people telling me I'm not good enough "You can't be a fire firefighter because you're a girl" Stuff like that. I did at least do one thing I wanted and that was to be mom so It didn't turn out so bad and maybe its not to late to late for something else.

Wishful thinking. I had dreams of being a successful architect, but unfortunately the opportunity wasn't there. I'm happy with most aspects of my life though.

I never really planned to be a person, I planned to have a family and that is what I did, I just let the type of person I developed with no plan, just a few rules, to be kind, to take care of my body, to make the health of my family important in my life. These things I have done.

It's hard to really say because growing up your wants and needs and goals change frequently. I would say that I am very happy with who I am today and proud of who I've become. I'm thankful for all experiences and relationships that I have had that have helped lead me to this point as well.

Well, when I was younger there were two things that I aspired toward in life. The first one was to become a pediatrician and to that goal I did not succeed. I realized that for myself there were more important things in life than spending a great deal of it in school. However, the other thing that I aspired toward in life was to become a mother, and that is a goal that I did reach. I became a mother at the age of 22 to a wonderful baby girl who is going to turn seven in less than a month and almost four years later we welcomed a beautiful baby boy into our family. Despite the fact that I did not succeed in becoming a doctor, I am fulfilled in my life everytime that one of my children smiles at me or they tell me that they love me.

i think so. i self-published my own novel. i have the degrees that i always wanted. i did some design as well. i have an eclectic creative background, which includes writing, editing, proofreading, graphic design, publishing, theater, copy editor, and photography, some modeling. my next step is drawing a graphic novel. and who knows what will be next.

I really didn't have a clear idea when I was young of what I wanted to be or what I would turn into, but I think that now (I'm in aged in my mid-50s) I'm nothing like what I would have envisaged for myself, if I'd have been able to do so.

I have never fufilled my childhood dream. I am no where near where I thought I would be at this point in my life. my life is much differnt from what I thought it would be like for me. I am on my way to be something differnt from what I ever imagined. there were so many things I wanted to be able to do with my life that I was not able to do them for many reasaons. lack of trying was not one of them.

not really.when I was younger,I wished to become a doctor.when I got older,that's when I realized that all I wanted was to be a fashion designer,chef,and a businesswoman.I didn't think of these when I was younger.I guess I realized my dreams a little too late.

I am not the person that I thought I would be when I was younger, but I am working on it. Life happens and people change. I don't even want to pursue the career that I did when I was younger. I have new dreams and ambitions that I am striving to achieve.

hai calai, when i was a child, i want to be a singer. but now, i am 32 years. i think i cannot to be a singer, beside i dont have a good voice..

Exactly not. When I was young I want to be a surgeon but now I work as a technician in a medical center.

No I didn't expect to be what I am today. No I wasn't able to achieve my dream, Nope I didn't want to become what I am today I wanted to be an explorer instead I became a housewife. Nope didn't fulfill my childhood dream cause everyone in my life told me I can't do this or can't do that and when you hear it so many times I didn't accomplish it and ended up lost and not knowing what to do after high school. It's sad when no one believes in your dreams.

I always wanted to be a race car driver or a jockey. when I was the age I could do this. Woman werent allowed in thioose feilds. One feild I did get into waas welding and a darn good one too. I was.

When I was young, I had a few ideas on what I wanted to be when I grow up. They eventually changed as time went by. Either from realizing that I didn't really want to be like that or something more interesting came around to catch my interest. As for now, I don't really have anything in mind. Too caught up with the reality that I am in to try to make any aspiration come true. (^_^")

I have no idea! I know I'm not where I had hoped to be career wise or even with a real career. Though a thing or two I thought would never happen in a million years like getting married, having kids, buying a house did happen. And I've accomplished those things like the house and a good marriage that my mother never did. No my childhood dream has not been fofilled. I wanted to be a fashion designer, but I can't sew! So then I wanted to go into being a buyer for a store or something but it's slim pickings for companies to work for w/o wasting a ton of money on a 4 yr degree I probably wouldn't be able to use anyways.

I didn't get to full fill my dreams while I was younger. I wanted to go to art school and that didn't happen. I got married to early and I didn't finish school like I should have. But the only blessing I have is what I have today and that is my three daughters and two grand kids. I did get a home to were I could finally call it my own and plant flowers and a garden. When my last daughter moves out me and my husband will have a big 5 bedroom house to our self. But there will be a room made up for when the kids or grand kids stay over night.

When I was young I was just an ordinary girl with a simple ambition in life. To finish my studies and graduate in time, to have a good job and became financially stable enough to build a simple house for my parents. But I wasn't able to realize my childhood dreams due to financial problems. I was a working student before but crisis strike my path. I didn't graduated in my course and my dream house became obsolete.But in exchange I married the guy I can call dream man and got two lovely kids. My life became more better now than I expected. I hope it's not too late because Im still saving money now who knows someday it can realize my dream of building my simple dream house for my parents.

No, I'm not entirely the person I wanted to become when I was a little child. As my dreams were very varied, I still have some dreams to fulfill. All the way long till my age of 56, some other dreams appeared that wait their time. My main dream has fulfilled but I'm not satisfied until I succeed with my other dreams, and there are many! So I'm continuously on the way of becoming the full person of my dreams. Now I feel like an uncompleted puzzle. If there were no dreams, what to live for?
