Every child have a dream of becoming something when he/she will gow up, but we end up becoming something else. I wanted to become a classical dancer but I had to quit dancing as wanted to concentrate more on studies and there my dream career was shattered and I became an Engineer instead. U people also must have similar experience.

As a child I wanted to be an opera singer...but my brother gave me some clorox to drink and my voice quality changed. My father told me to be like my mother so I aspired to be a secretary. I accomplished that at age 18 and then set my goals to work for the Foreign Service and see the world. I accomplished that at 22 when I was assigned to Mexico. Then with a lot of hard work I became a political analyst which never was a part of my drea. Today I am retired and living in Portugal at age 71. Be they called dreams or goals I believe everyone should have at least one of them and do everything they can to see them realized. Where there's a will there's a way....said the sailor shipwrecked on a deserted island with a mermaid. Have a nice day1

I wanted to be a vet. It changed however as I grew older and understood that being one would involve putting animals to sleep or doing surgery on them. It just wasnt' for me. Now I'm a work at home mom which makes me happy:) Below is a picture of my dog Alex that passed away this last spring.
