    mediocrity is not a bad thing. It is what gets your foot in the door. What happens after is what makes you come out with a different perspective.

    As I grow up I have always imagined myself as a doctor. I stopped wanting that when I was 17 years. It was not parent-pressure, it was self-pressure. :)) I always have seen myself doing something really challenging. But I do not have the power of being a doctor, I panic very quickly when people are hurt and I cannot stand seeing people suffering... and I cannot stand gross situations. I am too coward for that.

    Now I am in my final year of master in computer science. I am a software engineer, but I work in research departement of an IT company. But my little sister says that I am a computer doctor.

    I do not want to have another career. I am very happy with what I am doing at the moment.

    I wanted to be a ninja or a zookeeper or a farmer

    Did a work placement in a zoo when I was 14... made me realise I didnt have as much interest in careing for animals that I could never own

    I married the youngest son of a farmer, have a few different animals
