    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!!!

    A hairdresser! My entire life, it’s all I ever wanted to be. I went to school for it and got my license and have never regretted it❤️

    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

    Besides Rod Stewart's main squeeze you mean? Well, I always wanted to be a school teacher. Life choices led me into the business world which I regret most every. single. day. BOO

    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! 💕

    This is cute asf! Plus you got good taste in music 😎 they took that thread down btw!
