I was playing with my niece today. She had on a stethoscope and was playing doctor with me. So I asked her if she wanted to become a doctor. She said no. She said she wanted to become a pilot, and fly planes. She wanted to bring our family anywhere we want to go.
Our conversation made me smile. It made me remember my ambition as a kid. I wanted to be an archaeologist and dig up fossils. It is way far from what I'm doing now .
How about you? What was your ambition growing up?

My ambition is to work in the office with computers. My mother's dream is for me to be a teacher I followed her but I'm not really happy so I give up my teaching job

Couldn't remeber whether I had my dreams or not when I was a kid. Or maybe a painter? since I was sensitive to colors when I was very young.
However, my mom would like me to be a teacher. But i refuse it.

@Kattleya Oh, I mean I was good at painting when in primary school and won third prize in the national painting competition. When I grew up, seldom did I paint.

My first ambition was to become a painter or related type artist on fine arts but some one back in high school told me it was not profitable. I felt he wasn't helping me until I saw some one who is more intelligent and draws better than me.

A ballet dancer. An orchestra pianist. A musical conductor. A lawyer. An archeologist. A mother of 8 children. :-)
A pretty good imagination I grew up and nurtured with.
