When you were a child what did you always dream to be? Did you become what you dremt of being? I remember when I was kid there were so many things I wanted to be and now I'm studying to be a nurse, completely different than what I dreamed.. When I was a kid I wanted to be fashion designer, an artist, an architect, or a model. Now the whole model things sounds crzy, I never learned to sew, never had the money to start a portfolio to become a model and never finished my Drafting courses... I guess it's funny how we change our minds and evolve into something completely different than what we started out as.

yup dreams, goals i remember when my nursery teacher asked what u wanted to become i said then that i wanna touch sky thats right my dream, my goal is to become a pilot from then till now even though i am doing my engineering in computer science with which i am gifted quiet well but still my goal hasn't diverted even a bit i will touch the sky , fly much higher than bird and above clouds, cut through air . I still remember as child while traveling from Delhi to Kathmandu i wanted to see the cockpit so my mum requested air hostess I was just five years old then , when the air hostess took me inside the cockpit i saw clouds and some of Himalayan mountains were visible even the though the climate was foggy but that was the best sight i have ever seen and thank god for that . I will make my dream come true which i have carried it from my childhood till now. I Will to live my dream ? ?

When I was young, I really wanted to enter the world of motor racing and wanted to become a moto champion. But I was unable to achieve my dream due to financial problems and now I am sitting in an MNC and earning money.

I wanted to be a beautitionist, or hairstylist when I was younger. I loved to do my dolls hair and sister. I grew out of that fast though.

I can always remember wanting to be a construction worker. I used to love seeing houses being built and I would always walk around my house and pretend I was building it with my toy hammer.
