    Right now, When I grow up I wanna be a little kid :)

    When I was a kid I always wanted to be either a vet or a marine biologist.
    Changed my mind on the vet when I decided I wanted to work with healthy animals instead of sick ones

    Never really changed my mind. I always wanted to be a doctor since I was like 3 years old

    I wanted to be a mom but my teacher told me that wasn't a real job so I went with being a writer. I got my degree in Professional Writing and am currently working in a warehouse trying to get by. *sigh* This is depressing.

    huh? can call your old teacher and tell her this mom said I think considering all the farting in kids faces, innapropriate pasts, texting, sexting, photo messaging, sloppy facebooking, and general complaining teachers are getting away with... I think THAT's hardly a real job anymore?

    Why don't you try being a mom now that there are no snarky teachers in your life to hold you back and fill your head with mean labels and weird guidelines.

    I wanted to be an elementary school teacher.
    Now I'm grown and I still do! I'm doing my student teaching now :) I can't imagine doing anything else with my life.

    good. enthusiasm and commitment. that's what we need in teachers nowadays. other whiners and farters please step aside for this young lady!

    I never wanted to be a teacher, since my dad is one and I am pretty sure I would get fired within the first year.

    I still want to be a mom and I hope I'm good at it as I don't know what I would do if I failed at both of my major goals in life.

    I wanted to work at McDonald's so I could eat French fries all day. Still hoping to own my own FF company one day lol I just won't be eating them as much as my child self would want to.
  • figure out the science to transporting. Sometimes your desired destination is WAY TO FAR!
  • I wanted to be a singer, I suppose I still do but reality has to come first.

    I wanted to be a cowboy when I grew up. Well...I'm all grown up. Never became a cowboy. Last Saturday night I was a Fireman, though, and my wife was a Naughty Nurse..
  • Ever since I was little I wanted to be a police officer and I still do. :) I'm trying out for police academy this summer.

    I wanted to be a rock star, then a fashion designer. I'm neither of those, sadly.

    Good for you! Good luck!
  • When I was little, I wanted to be everything from a ballerina to a pilot to an eye doctor. Now, I know for sure I want to major in journalism. Writing's always been an inseparable part of me :-) I can't WAIT for college!
