A Mom. I always had dreams of being a Mommy. When I was 4 my Mom asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I told her "A Mommy just like you and I will have 99 babies and bring them all home and put them on your bed!". I am a Mom to 8 fabulous children and love their Father and them more than anything in this world. I was a temporary Momma to quite a few foster children before having my own and adopting 3 from foster care. 4 of my 8 are my Husbands from his previous marraige. I knew since I was small what my calling in this wonderful life would be. I LOVE what I get to do!0

Bank teller,, then author, then accountant..
Ended up doing industrial sales, human resources, then purchasing. I am now a church secretary. Interesting that what I wanted as a child didn't involve many people..but all of my jobs have involved a great deal of human contact..hmmm..0 -
When I was little I wanted to be a Special Ed teacher, because my brother is developmentally retarded, and slight autism.
Right now I'm a stay at home mom, and full time student...I want to be a Nurse.
Lets see how it goes.0 -
I wanted to be a mom and a wife. Married at 19 with three kids by 22, I'd say I surpassed that goal.
Right now, I'm a fourth year undergrad working on my B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Public Policy.
Considering a JD (law school) , but I'll probably pursue a master's in public policy. I love it! I want to be a catalyst for change at the macro level, particularly in policy concerning people in poverty and underserved populations. I have my eyes set on Princeton for graduate school.0 -

I always wanted to be Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and have a handsome prince come and kiss me and wake me from my deep sleep. I use to drive my parents crazy when I was a little girl watching this movie over and over again.0

I wanted to be a rock star (singer/guitarist). It almost panned out, but the guys I played with were upset that a chick could sing more hardcore than them... I quite smoking & actually LOST my singing voice :sad: But glad I quit either way.
Now I work for a very powerful company (the one that keeps your lights on type..!)
I now want to be a personal fitness trainer & nutritionist (about to start the process to get certification & training). Recently I realized that I daydream about my workouts while I'm at work now... don't worry - I'm not working in any of the plants & won't accidentally turn off the lights..0 -
Ice cream man...ice skater...I never really wanted to get old and be an adult actually. I always figured I would end up an artist because that's what I did the most in my spare time. Still is!0

I always wanted to be a Doctor. I knew I could do it, I read medical journals like they are the comics. SOOOOOOOO interesting.

Still plan on going back one day, prob just for practitioner ... but would LOVE one day to hear Dr. Lauren.
Also had a small desire to be a playboy model Lmao. But I digress0 -

wouldn't it be nice if one site on the internet was exactly a site about what it's suppose to be about, not just SEX, this if about food, excercise, how to reach your goal.....NOT what do you want to be when you grow up, who cares !!!! I doubt one person can really answer that question truthly, your goals change every single day......let's just try to support each other with losing weight....
You must be new to forums, this is the "offtopic" board. If people want to talk about their last meal, then there are boards for that. Lighten up when you are in the chit-chat. Talk about your cats, people will respond to that as well.0 -
oops, double post0

What I have! lol0

What did you want to be when you grew up?
An author, a dancer singer and actress, a doctor, and an astronaut!
What do you do now?
Currently I'm a cardiac sonography student months away from graduation with plans to be a cardiologist. As in I have a medical school in sight and everything. So one dream is coming true. :drinker:
What career would you do if you could do anything right now?
I really want to be a doctor. Really really. Right now, while I'm studying, I am indeed an actress and have been for some time and I write for myself as I discovered, when I got older, that I didn't want to write what made money but rather what I wanted to write in the moment. Oh and my dreams of being an astronaut were shattered when I discovered I was an agoraphobic. HAHA.0 -
