I know this may seem like a good title for your typical elementary English composition, but I'm serious about this. As kids it's easy for us to dream and imagine ourselves as a 'SOMEBODY' when we grow up. Shame though that many of us forget it eventually, our dreams change and not all of us achieve those dreams. Thankfully, I was reminded about this by a book. That we shouldn't forget our dreams, without them, i think we would become living robots, without a dream to serve as a better drive. Since I'm the one who started this discussion, I suppose I ought to go first. Who I want to be in the future? I want to be one effin' hot woman even when I'm 5 foot tall. Not only a hot physically, but someone who also has a cool attitude. Someone who is secure about herself and won't let anyone or anything get her down. Super rich, mediocre rich, it's fine LOL I will have my dream job as an artist, then have cute kids to cuddle! For a husband... umm... I can't imagine him yet. Then I would be traveling to different places around the world, eat something that I have not tasted before(should be edible), maybe even meet some celebrities along the way! Anyways, your turn!!

I want to be an artist too! Well, not that I don't consider myself one now. I guess the more appropriate term would be "successful artist." I'd like to travel the world to spread my art, maybe try and use it as a medium to help people, somehow. Alternatively, I will move away from civilization and become a renowned hedgehog breeder because hedgehogs are awesome.

hehe, same here. I like traditonal tools better, I'm more comfortable with them. Digital art is... a little more complicated. Still, I think it's essential for a modern artist to learn it. I will definitely look for you on deviantart!

Lately, I'm more in the digital mediums, but I'm a traditional tools kind of person at heart. My style is kind of wonky in that it can't decide if it wants to be more anime-like or realistic. I have a deviantart under the name AhkneeKitteen if you want to check it out.

When I was young, I used to dream of becoming a popular singer or an actress. But I know I can't achieve those because I don't have a nice voice and I don't have any experience in acting. hehe.. Later on I dreamed becoming an engineer. Wow, that was an awesome job. It really needs a lot of hard work. But this time, I'm a college student and just dreaming something related about the course that I'm being engaged to. I just want to be either an animator or a web designer or a programmer or something which relates with computer. I love working with computers. That's all I think I can share. Have a nice day mylotting.

What kind of engineering course did you take? Engineering is a broad course.

No. I'm not taking an engineering course. I'm a computer science student. Still sophomore.

I had some really high expectations of what I wanted to be as a child. I think that many of us did in fact do because we really didn't know any better. We were idealistic and we thought that we could keep reaching for the stars and eventually something would in fact hit. Granted, we can still reach for the stars although we are reaching for ones closer. Today, I look right in the mirror right now. I am seeing this person and while this person gets on my nerves every now and again and has more than few flaws, that person is not bad all things considered. I can always rely on that person with me, when the chips are down, when I need a hand out there. It has been someone in the mirror and they have been there along. That person is me. That is who I want to be.

that's cool megamatt. You mean to tell us that we should be happy as ourselves, right? Be confident in who we are and what we are capable of. We don't have to wish to be someone else entirely.

When I was a child, I wanted to be an architech or an artist because I love arts. But then as I grew older, still love arts but I began to love foods and I mean love foods that I want to be a chef. Sadly though, until now I never reached that stage, the stage of fulfilling my dreams

You would have to make up your mind on who you really want to be and what interest you most. You have to be focus on that path. We can't expect our dreams to come true in an instant, so don't let this delay discourage you from fulfilling your dreams. Simply enjoy whatever you are doing, do your best and you will probably get there eventually. If you become a chef, do tell us.

I've always had a lot of interests and dreams during my daily life.As a boy,I used to be very fond of making model planes,cars,boats,and that was really wonderful.Although failure often came up,the strong interest would make me forget the failure quickly and start another plan.However,as I grew up and wanted to go further in making model planes(cars,boats),I did find that I lack a lot of money,so I had to put off this interest until when I've earned enough money.Another strong interest is music.Although I majored in information engineering in the college and would work in the filed of IT in the future,I've always kept a hot heart for music.To be more specific,what I like about music is to compose,yeah,create my own music.I've found this to be more and more worth to do,I can get the sense of achievement,and I can also share my happiness with my friends through the music I compose.Although I'm not a music major student,I would keep my love in music for my whole life and keep composing better music in the future.In all,I want to be an inventor,or creator in my life.No matter how many new things I can actually create,the process of creating is valuable and unforgettable for my whole life!

Interesting. Many people out there have succeeded in the fields that are not related to their majors. Those passion of theirs became their new means of income, giving them more fortune than they would have expected. You could be one of them

I want to be a commercial artist. I've worked in a lot of different fields. Information Technology is the most recent, but I discovered that I never forgot my dream as a child to be an artist. I'm a lot older now, but I've learned that on the inside we're never old.

Thats some really nice thought you have got there. Yeah we never get old from inside. But we generally suppress that child from others due to the fear of being laughed upon. And this is how we learn to act public.

I want somebody like Mark Suckerberg, the one who invented facebook, with his brain and creativity mind. Someone like Steven Jobs, Bill Gate, those our century of titans, those genius mind running our society and innovate the world among the cyberspace. So, I wish that I have the great mind like them.

Great minds have great potential. They have to be wise about their money, too, so that they can keep it.

Wow! You have big dreams there! But it's better to have big dreams because it's a constant reminder of what you should be doing and how to move on and live a satisfied life even if you don't get there but at least you got maybe half of it. For your dreams, I'm pretty sure everyone wants that Sicne kids, everyone wants a good life, be rich, be a celebrity, have an awesome family, be loved and all that but of course in reality, that's just not the case. Of course we will have ups and downs in our lives and sometimes life may really suck for you but that's not a reason to just stop dreaming and accept your fate. Because you're allowing the bad to just take you down and you have no hope. So it's good to dream big, it feels good when you get there. I hope to get there someday. I want to be someone who is really smart and can really make my parents proud. I also want to be more open and have a carefree nature and stop being worried about what others might think of me. I want to have a lovely family with a loving husband and well mannered kids. I want to live in mansion and have a good paying job. That's who I wish to be.

yes, that's why we should dream big! That's right, triple0. Haha, There's no harm in dreaming, right? WE can't expect them all of them to come true. My purpose for having those dreams is only to motivate me. It's the road to get to that dream that is hard and exciting, not just the pleasure of having achieved that dream. Good luck to us! May we all never give up on our dreams!

I never wanted to be anyone just myself. I would like to be a sculpture but because of my allergies there is no way I can be one full time. The only thing I like to be is myself. So that is what I try and to get more time for myself to think, to be busy with me. This is the only thing that can feel me complete and happy.

I want to be someone God wants me to be. I like traveling so I would keep my body work hard for me to achieve that dream. It is a matter of acceptance about yourself, belief that you could achieve the things you wanted to and always have Faith and trust what God had planned to do to you. Dreaming of one to be somebody else is good but not achievable instead make good use of yourself and bring the best out of it.

... that's hard. How do I know what God wants for me, who he wants me to be? I figure if I chase after my dreams, that would make me happy, chasing after it. It's not that we are trying to be someone else, we accept ourselves and we are still ourselves, only we want to become our better versions. Isn't that kind of the point?
