    First a princess
    Then a teacher
    Then a lawyer
    I settled on something performance based like a Broadway dancer.
    I had wanted to be a figure skater at one point and I was!!!

    I also wanted to be “taller” when I grew up because I wanted to be bigger than my older sister who used to beat me up on a regular basis. She stopped growing at about 5’6” and I was short so she would do that thing where she’d just hold my head out at arms length and I couldn’t reach her to defend myself. I had a major growth spurt and I grew to 5’11” seemingly overnight. When she tried to bother me again I beat her up once and she never bothered me again! :# Be careful what you wish for though, I’ve never loved being this tall, as a 5’11” Latina woman I kinda feel like a freak and nobody else is this tall in my family not even the men, but nothing I can do about it. :D

    Two things, a Mom and a nurse. I guess I've always wanted to care for others since a very young age. I work in the field of caring for clients with Alzheimers and Dementia, and I'm a damn good Mom. I win at life! 💕

    I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was a child. Later I wanted to be a homicide detective. I am currently a web developer.

    Lots of things.
    Loved Football and Basketball so growing up obviously wanted to go pro, like I believe lots of guys do.
    Train conductor when I was really small, I loved Thomas the Tank Engine.
    A pilot at one point in time.
    Somewhere along the line I learned the value of a dollar and math so I became an accountant xD

    Yea, wtf?! I got all these notifications and the thread was gone! I was not a happy camper!

    I swear it wasn't me.......But not gonna lie I thought about asking if whips and chains excite you but I didn't think we were there yet as you just let me stand under your umbrella haha!

    No I'm not sure what happened. There was some beef between some users that was brought on the thread, thinking they shut it down after that.

    I wanted to be an astronaut. Got a degree, worked as secretarial slave labour and now I am manager of a bulk store. Closest I will get now is being a sci-fi geek.
