I wanted to be a train engineer, but then they switched from steam to diesel, not nearly as glamourous in my eyes so I changed my mind.
When you were a kid (or if you're still a kid) what did you want to be when you stopped growing? Did you change your mind or did you follow the dream?
My mind was changed for me Didge.
Cowboy--allergies to dust.
Astronaut--eyes not good enough.
Rock star--can't sing a note.
Porn star--figure that out yourself.
I wanted to be a Jet plane pilot ! But my Uncle taught me to fly prop planes when I was 15 and I fell in love with the rush of flying those single seat planes. So many good memories!
I never wanted to grow up. So far, so good!
I wanted to be a Scientist with NASA.
Super super big dreams for a county gal hick, I have no idea why, I would want to be a NASA Scientist.
Space the Final Frontier....
I wanted to be a singer or a professional guitarist. I'm studying for an engineering degree now.
Well I know what I never wanted to be..... A COOK!
I wanted to be in the medical field. I did get to be a certified medical assistant but my first boss scared me off and I never went back. However I still had my knowledge and I continue to educate myself so it comes in handy with my life now.
I fully expected to be Superman. Apart from the black hair, the muscles, the silly clothes, the ability to fly, the xray vision, I managed it.
I wanted to be a hi dollar female call girl. But being male it didnt go
I wanted to be a vet or work with animals
And, no .. I never did fulfil that dream, just wasn't in the cards for me.
A Live.
Since I found out about space and astronomy, I've wanted to be a researcher for NASA. I originally wanted to be an astrophysicist, but then I learned about quantum mechanics and general relativity, so I'm choosing between the two.
I'm almost finished grade 10 (2 more days to go!!), and I'm on my way there, but, obviously, I've got a little ways to go...
