...your dream when you were a child. In my book, all of us have childhood dreams to be someone in the future. This concern is too hard for my Chinese young learners' students to answer. They have so many alibis before answering a simple question: 'What do you want to be in the future?' Personally, my dream was to be a dentist. It did not happen but I became a licensed Physical Therapist in my country Philippines. What was your dream job when you were a child? Did your dream come true?

My dream job was to be a nurse. I was a certified nurse's aide. Since then, I joined the Navy, had children, worked many jobs and now, I'm doing another dream job - writing. I started writing as a child and now I have several books published. You never know which direction life will take you. It's all an adventure.

I do agree that a person can do adventure aside from his or her original dream. I continue doing this matter, offline and online. I am a frustrated writer because it is not my interest. I hope I could see some of your works.

I had always wanted to study medicine and become a nurse but that did not happen.

@Shavkat No I never got the chance to become a nurse. I started working in an office as a typist many years ago. Now I am working as a Secretary in a private firm.

@mayka123 In my humble opinion, I think it is not too late to be one. What do you think?

Are you telling me that you became a nurse? Nursing is also a good medical profession.

Oh, really! You're a PT! We belong to the same field. When I was young I dreamt to become a doctor, but the family's finances did not make that happen. I settled for a profession in the same field though. However, I branched out to another profession, later on. All's well that ends well.

Yes, I am. That's nice that you are also in the same profession as me. Did you practice it before?

Yes, I am an online ESL Teacher for now. I can still work as a Physical Therapist privately. Teaching the English language is one of my soft skills.

I think it is not too late yet. You can invent how to detect and cure Covid 19 easily.

My dream was to be an actress. I grew up watching telenovelas so I kinda admired them. But it didn't happen. However, I am a writer which is a bit closer and much better coz I get to be the creator of their world

Being a writer is not bad at all. I am sure you had created good stories and are being used by directors locally there now, right?

I am glad that you are. Are you referring to being a star in movies?
