    A lawyer. But that dream changed when I took government in HS.

    Now since I've worked in construction for almost 10 years, I want to go back to school for Civil Engineering.

    As a child I wanted to be a elementary teacher, became and Early Childhood Educator. Now I'm a stay at home mom. Still I wonder what it would be like to play in an orchestra. Played the flute in high school and loved it.:heart:

    It always changed for me
    I went from wanting to be a cartoonist (can't draw) to being an actress (too shy) to being a Vet, a detective/spy (Harriet the Spy was my favorite movie as a kid), a marine biologist and a mermaid (I loved the water). The one that stuck around the longest was being a creative writer. I have a million short stories I've written since I was 7 that probably no one will ever get the chance to read. Now though, I want to be a Japanese Translator/Interpreter and still do writing.

    As a child growing up I was a dancer and wanted to become a dance teacher. At 20 I opened up my own dance studio, did that for 20 years. I loved it but I wanted a change.......long story short, I registered for nursing school........shortly after registering my mom found my kindergarden yearbook and the teacher asked things like "favourite food, colour and what do you want to be when you grow up?"...........there it was beside my name "nurse"...........huh, I guess I always knew, I just forgot!! :)

    Okay I'm showing my age here --
    I wanted to play professional basketball with the New York Knicks -- play with Earl the Pearl Dave DeBusschere, Bill Bradley, Walt Frazier, Willis Reed...... only 3 things stopped me -- I was 12, a girl and 5'6" (still am - a girl and 5'6').
    When that reality set in --it was an author, inventor, forest ranger.
    Well I didn't have money for college so I went to nursing school instead, When I finally did go to college, I got an information systems degree so now I'm a computer geek.
    But I think I really want to be a comedian, or a nurse practitioner/physician assistant, maybe a farmer.
    I'll probably just start playing the lottery so I can be a millionaire and do all the things on my list.
