Whats your biggest dream and have you accomplished it or what are you doing to get to that point? What is your motivation?

I am going to school for social work and eventually want to work with kids who are battling addictions..its such a hard thing to overcome and I want to help kids early on so there future can still be made. My birthmom wasnt able to raise me from being a addict since I was a baby and now I see how it has really affected her, I dont want teenagers to get that far.

    my dear, you have a beautiful dream! I hope you achieve it! my dream is to open a pitbull rescue/rehab. so many great dogs get euthanised because shelters dont have time or money to rehabilitate ex fighters or abuse cases.

    That is a great dream...and one you'll achieve. I currently work with kids that have committed crimes and are in the custody of the state. They come to my program before being released to obtain employment and finish high school/GED.

    My dream is to open an indoor Moonwalk center so kids have an option to be active at their parties.

    Are you a probation officer? I am also considering that as a career but defenitly with juveniles. Your work sounds super rewarding! I volunteer with the juvenile probation department and love it.

    That sounds like a really fun dream!!

    Main Goals/Dreams
    1. To get accepted into a nursing program (I'll move where ever I'm accepted!). It's so competitive and I hope I can get in when I'm ready to apply and not get stuck on a waiting list. :-S
    2. Once I'm a RN, (eventually, one day) I want to get a job as a traveling nurse and travel the world, and learn about different cultures.
    3. Build a house on my property and sell for profit. $50,000 to build a house. Sell for $150,000. $100,000 profit. :-)
    4. Continue to build or flip homes on the side for profit.
    5. Keep my relationship healthy with my boyfriend. We've been dating for over 2 years and so far its been awesome! <3

    Small goals/dreams:
    1. decrease body fat percentage and become healthy and fit.
    2. Run a half marathon.
    3. Get good grades! Raise my GPA
    4. Start painting again. I miss doing artwork.

    As time goes on, I'm sure my goals/dreams will change or be tweaked a little. But here are mine for now. :-)

    well my lifelong dreams have changed as I've gotten older.


    As a teen I wanted to model or act.
    I'm still a total ham(this is why I love karaoke).


    Now, I'd like to get in a little better shape so I can do some fitness modeling.

    Then I'd like to hopefully make enough I could go to school to be a therapist and help teenage girls and women, especially with self esteem. I talk a lot about loving yourself, and I want to be achieve these goals. So I can practice what I preach and be truly proud of myself.
    I realize I'm a bit old for ANY of these dreams. But I'm ok with that.

    I want to go back to school to become a paramedic.

    I want to remarry

    I want another baby

    I want to sell this house in this nice subdivision and move 10 minutes away where my new house will be surrounded with trees.

    I want to be completely happy and settled in a cozy life.

    I want a tight butt.

    (these are not life long dreams, because honestly, the dreams I had when I was 19 are not the same as I have at 29)
