Wow! Quite a few changes along the way. I don't know about a queen, but I would like to be a princess.

I wanted to be an actor or singer. Really I am a stay home mom. I like my job as a mom better than any other job out there.

When you are a mom you have to be a bit of an actor, I believe. Maybe even a singer, I was a singer until my kids learned to talk and told me to shut up.

i wanted to take up fine arts back then, so i could go into drawing, painting, interior designs, or any related fields. however, my dad discouraged me saying it's not a stable career/income source, and made me take up accountancy instead. luckily, i'm doing good at it, thus, no regrets:)

I wanted to be a nun for a while, but my mom wouldn't let me. She told me to go to college before, and then I met my husband...

I wanted to be a Marine Biologist or a Veterinary Technician. But I am a mom (most important job of all, wouldn't trade it for anything) and I work from home.

I agree that it's the most important job of all. Being a mom is also being a doctor, teacher, cook, and so many other things.
