    I had my heart on being Sandy from Grease or Baby from Dirty Dancing. Then I grew up a bit and wanted to be a nurse; I'm a school administrator.

    Child: cowboy

    Teens: Vet assistant

    Now: Systems Analyst

    But I do have horses and dogs, I ride western, and seem to be always doctoring up one of the animals. I just don't earn a living at it.

    I wanted to be a nurse, like my mother, and later, I wanted to be a pediatrician.
    Now, I'm an engineering student, and I have a summer job. I don't know what I'll be doing with my degree though when I graduate.

    When I was really little (like < 5) I wanted to be a doctor.

    Now: I am an undergraduate in a top school studying health science. I work in research at a research hospital. Although I no longer have plans to become an MD, I plan to go to grad school next year. So... close(ish) to my childhood dream? lol
