Let me ask you, are you what you wanted to be? Right from childhood, i have always wanted to be a surgeon but when i grew up i discovered that i'm haemophobic, i do have a system disorder whenever i see blood, i don't know what to do to overcome this obstacle between me and my dream. Later, i got advise from friends and Biochemistry was suggested for me, i'm now studying biochemistry. Though everything is okay now but a part of me still tells me that i'm not what i wanted to be! . Post your comment if you face similar issue.

Unfortunately, I'm not what I wanted to be...yet? I've been thinking about this thing for days now and I'm glad to have seen your post.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be either a teacher or a dentist. I also like drawing so one of my ambitions was to become an aritst. Right now, I'm a registered nurse. Coming from a third world country, many Filipinos become nurses to get work opportunities abroad. My aunt's dream was to go to the US and she's been there for around 20 years now. I want to go there too because living is definitely a lot better there and I love American TV-film. When I get there, maybe I'll try if I could pursue a career in arts while working as a nurse (which is more stable).

I'm not sure I remember wanting to be anything in particular. I guess I was never very ambitious. And, so, here I am in the later years of my life and I am still wondering what I will be. I am a mother, I am a widow, I am a precious Child of God. I am a devoted church member, I am a committed volunteer , and a loving pet owner. I guess this is what I want to be at this point in my life. I don't think we all have to be something spectacular, we can just be content in whatever we are. I'm sure I never WANTED to be an insomniac, but I am. I think I probably DID want to be slim and beautiful, but I'm not. I probably never even thought about being a dependable friend but I try to be that. I think I vaguely remember wanting to be a teacher when I was very young, but, thank goodness that didn't pan out, I am not overly fond of young children at this stage in my life. As far as the kind of person I may have wanted to be, I think I come pretty close.

some great philosopher has spoken "Human planned their future for secure their life its shows their insecure thinking about their future "
in simple word its a beauty of god that noting can be planned is planned or other word you can say that single rule of this world is no rule.
so I think we just try to live in the present time ,I mean just think about present and on behalf of present circumstances only we should plane our feature
thanks

omgee i always wanted to be a surgeon to be exact hahahhahaha, my mom said when i was little they kept asking me if i wanted to be a doctor, and they said my answer would be no not a doctor but a surgeon hahahahhahaha awwwwwwww innocent kid well, i never wanted to take up nursing but well, here i am, i just graduated but i am not a registered nurse yet, i still have to take some board exams, and that's very soon, and i am getting really very nervous
and you know what, i am not scared of blood, i am scared of looking at how bad the wound is, it makes me pass out. there have been two events, when the doctor told me to take a seat while assisting them because i was getting pale and i felt like was going to faint hehehhe, but i still want to finish this all the way. i have learned to love it and i hope i pass my exams so i can work already.
anyway, welcome to mylot

haha. For my case, it's actually the opposite. When I was younger, I wanted to become a lawyer. But then when I entered my high school which was supported by the Department of Science and Technology, I was required to take a course that was Science and Technology related. My father told me that I can take law later. But I realized that to become a lawyer, there are really times when I would have to lie. I hate lying. Also, I learned to love Biology so I took Biology. I remember wanting to take Biochemistry before and be involved in Forensics. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to pass that course. It was a good thing though because I realized that my calling was really to become a surgeon. Now, I just graduated from BS Biology and I will start my medical education this JUne. :)

What I wanted to be changed so many times when I was younger. I remember wanting to be a teacher, an artist and a "business woman." Not sure what I meant by that it's what I wrote in my "school years book" my mom made for each of us. Lol. Anyways, it's also changed a lot in adulthood. I've wanted to do nursing, social worker, and daycare administrator. I started school for nursing but then decided I didn't like it. I'm currently not working so I guess you could say no, I am not what I wanted to be when I grew up. I'm 30 yrs old and I have no idea what I want to do.

I am almost exactly what I wanted to be when I was younger. I firstly wanted to be a mom, and that I am to two wonderful little girls. My dad is in the military so naturally I wanted to go into the military, but no not any branch of the military...I wanted to be a Navy Seal. I thought I was going to be the first female Navy Seal. Needless to say I can swim, but not extremely well, and my determination for going into the military faded quickly after hitting middle school. And to date, there are still no female Navy seals. I really wonder what I was thinking back then. lol. But I hit my number 1 dream to be a mom, and I wouldn't trade that for the world.

Funny when I look at my grade school yearbook, it says there that I wanted to be a doctor saving my fellowmen. No, I am not a doctor, and I cringe at the thouhgt because like you, I am afraid of blood! The sight of it makes my hear beat really fast.
