:heart: Question of the Day-Day 37!!!:heart:


When you were a kid what did you wanna be when you grew up?

**Me- I always thought I was going to do hair. I went to Cosmetology school in 2005 and graduated but have just never worked in a salon. I do friends and families hair but that's about it. I didn't "love" it like I thought I would which is a total bummer. Now I don't know what I wanna do!

    When I was little I wanted to be a marine biologist! lol But as I got older I realized that I am totally afraid of sharks and a lot of sea animals so it wouldnt work out. :laugh:

    You say kid....I'm just 18 ;-)
    But when I was, like, 8 I wanted to be a doctor. I still do, but I'm going the long way around to becoming one. I'm training as a nurse first

    Hilarious! First I wanted to be a dancer, then a marine biologist. But after that it went to cop, horse trainer, singer, musician, actress, photographer, and currently it's writer, that's been with me for about 8 years now. =P

    I decided when I was 3 (first day of preschool) that I wanted to be a teacher.

    I didn't want to go to college. I've sold stuff door to door, cut hair, managed an office, done medical billing, been a tutor, been a secretary, been a receptionist (I sucked), been an insurance agent, sold Avon & Tupperware, been a housewife...

    Finally couldn't take it any longer - went back to school.

    Been teaching 12 years.

    I always wanted to be a doctor when I was little and then changed to a nurse when I was a teenager, and after having my first two kids young, I helped out in their classes in preschool and I decided to go into teaching. I have my associates in Early Childhood, I graduate in Spring 2013 with my bachelors so I can become certified, I have been a teacher assistant for 6 years at a montessori public school

    When I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a teacher by day and model by night, yeah okay lol. As I got older I wanted to be a lawyer, writer, doctor, dancer for music videos (not the shake your butt only kind, but with choreography), professional drummer, radiologist, and a discovered actress ( I didn’t want to work for it, just be discovered lol), and finally when I hit 16 I decided I wanted to be a forensic psychologist which I just got my Masters degree for and am actually going to be an adjunct professor, while I wait to get my therapy license. So I guess I did go back to the first thing I thought I wanted to do… for now.

    I wanted to be a dancer too at one point and my mom also didnt sign me up for anything she always said she didn't have the money... I think that's why now with my kids I FIND the money even if it means bit paying some of my bills I want my children to always have the opportunity to do whatever they want!

    Honestly I wish that was the reason why my mother never signed me up for dance.
    But its not.
    its because my older half sister did ballet, got kicked out cuz she couldn't stop looking in the mirror.
    So my mom wasn't gonna put me in ballet.
    My older half sister also did gymnastics, she quit after the first day.
    I suffer for other peoples mistakes -.-

    I wanted to be a vet, since I loved animals so much, or a teacher. I am now a preschool teacher associate and I LOVE, LOVE my job! :heart:
