What did you want to be as a kid ????

[whitehall]

What is a kid? Today the federal bureaucracy considers a kid to be approaching 30 years old still living in his mother's basement. Too late to wish you were a doctor?

Security guard. I am still chasing that dream. Maybe I can finally be one next year.

they don’t pay enough or I would do it

 

[para bellum]

I wanted to be Commissioner of Baseball but the job was already taken, so I made airplane parts.

 

[Foxfyre]

I had 2 dreams as a kid .
One was a doctor of some sort like a pathologist or radiologist !! Few people contacts

Second was a FBI agent

That was It !!
What about you

I can't remember a time I didn't want to be a writer or some sort of communicator and/or detective/investigator. By the time I was in High School and College I envisioned myself as the first female Ernie Pyle though not in a war zone. My interests and circumstances didn't take me in the directions I have envisioned, but I have been amazed at a life time of various opportunities to write, communicate, teach and how many of my jobs have involved investigating different things for which I apparently have some aptitude.

I don't remember what I wanted to be when I was really little. But as I got closer to being a teen, I wanted to be an actress. (don't laugh ) The funny thing is, when I was a kid I used to write plays and I would get the neighborhood kids together and we'd put on performances, and I was always the writer / director and I'd give myself a part in the play too. It was fun doing stuff like that. I was always doing creative things when I was a kid. Oh, and I did end up taking a "film acting workshop" in LA (I think when I was 18) and I had a modeling agent, so I was into that scene for a while.

As a little girl, I played teacher during the summer with my four little brothers. I was the teacher, and they were my students. I would use the information my teacher gave us at the end of the school year all the leftover books, worksheets, workbooks, etc... I would make them out a report card, and go in the kitchen and fix their lunches for lunch time. I was just playing... I had no idea God was watching me.

I was a nurse, I enlisted in the United States Army, earned my master and bachelor degrees, then finally I became a state of Texas Certified School Teacher teaching both elementary and middle school.

I look over my life and see that I was always doing social service in society; trying to help people or help within a situation. I'm always like, I'll do it. I can help. I was also a VISTA Volunteer years ago when the federal government requested we do so. Three more years of teaching, and I will retire as a successful school teacher. Job well done; stuck it out until the end. Truth is I prayed my way through it all.

Sort of like many of the little league football and baseball players. What they do as a little kids tells the story of what they will be doing as an adult.

I wanted to be a porn star, but idea just didn't continue to grow on me like I thought it would.

 

[Sparker]

In 3rd grade I said I would be a cashier, which may have been BS to finish an assignment more than my personal interest. I didn't do much thinking about the future then.

The man who got to marry my first-grade teacher.

You reminded me of this video.

 

[BackAgain]

A grown up.

It was just a matter of surviving that long.

 

[Arlette]

A survivor of my dad's beatings and neglect.

Wow. But you made it

 

[Woodznutz]

Wow. But you made it

I did (except for this nervous tic I seem to have developed).

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I wanted to be a scientist of some kind.

You don't have the wattage to become a scientist.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You don't have the wattage to become a scientist.

Evidently not. That's why I became a lawyer.

 

[Quasar44]

I did not have the wattage for doctor but I could have been a cop or agent

So why didn't you. Why did you settle for two lousy UPS stores?

 

[Quasar44]

So why didn't you. Why did you settle for two lousy UPS stores?

I am super lazy and unmotivated and tend to drown in sorrow

 

[Quasar44]

So why didn't you. Why did you settle for two lousy UPS stores?

You need to show a little more compassion
