What did you want to be when you were little?

And did you achieve that goal or still trying?

Because of my major love for the Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer movie when I was a kid, I always wanted to be a dentist.

I work in hotel sales so that didn't happen!

I wanted to be a teacher or police officer. Both are out of the question at this moment...

Well, when I was really young I wanted to be a famous singer, actress, and model. I figured out by the time I was 7 or 8 that wasn't in the cards for me lmao!

When I was in the 5th or 6th grade, I decided I wanted to be a teacher, and so I am. :)

I wanted to be a vet. And no I am not one.

I am currently going to school for nursing so at least I am going to be in the medical field. Just for a different species...

I really wanted to be a meteorologist, and still think it would be an awesome career.  Maybe someday I'll go back to school and get my degree in meteorology.

I'm a music teacher, so yeah not really close lol.

A CEO. 

I'm currently a SAHM so I guess I am like the CEO of this house. haha. I have my business degree so I will eventually go back to work when the boys are in school. I probably will not be a CEO though.

A vet. Then I volunteered at a veterinarian's office and decided that it wasn't for me.

Then I wanted to be a photographer. Both DH and I have fancy art degrees.

He's a plumber I'm a SAHM.

I wanted to be an astronaut. Good things I dropped that dream when I realized I am scared of heights. I'd be unemployed. I had a fabulous seventh grade English teacher and decided then that was what I wanted to be when I grew up. I taught seventh grade for a few years and now teach high school. Most of the time, I do love my job.

It was the late sixties, cowboy shows were big.

And here in the Delaware Valley we had Sally Star,

My hero, a cowgirl that played cartoons and the

When I was really little I wanted to be the first women president or an actress... didn't work out.

Since middle school I've wanted to be a therapist and that's what I am.

I wanted to be a vet. I worked in vet hospitals for twelve years.
Now I'm a nurse. Same thing, different pay. Taking care of animals who would rather bite you than appreciate the care you're giving them. I think I need to get out of the downtown hospital where all the drug addicts come...

My first goal was a pediatric cardiologist. I know, weird for a young kid but I knew what a cardiologist was since my grandfather had a heart attack and I wanted to work in pediatrics since I loved little kids.

That eventually changed into a meterologist. I was (and still am) obsessed with tracking hurricanes and such. Most years I could list every named storm of the tropic season.

As a SAHM by day/part time waitress at night, didn't quite get there. lol.

I wanted to be a florist.

I have plant allergies so that was never going to happen.

I sold my soul to "the man" and have a business degree. It pays better.

I wanted to be a teacher or a SAHM. sucks I couldn't make it through our awful high school.

I'm waitressing now and I used to love it but I've hated it this entire pregnancy and I never want to go back. I've picked up every illness going around this year. I'm hoping that dh makes enough money by the time I'm off mat leave to never have to go back.

At various points, a vet (and then realized I would only want to see cute happy animals, not sick ones), a nurse (specifically an Army nurse- I was in a M*A*S*H phase- before I realized I hated science classes), or an actress (before realizing that I can't act).

When I was a little older, middle-school age or so, I'd have been fine as either President of the US or a Supreme Court Justice. I had high hopes for myself, clearly.

My interests veered by the end of HS to international relations which I am still studying but with no specific end-goal in mind.

I wanted to be the person who found Nessie.

ETA: I have a master's in environmental science but I SAH. I guess I deal with my own version of the Loch Ness monster on a daily basis. Goal achieved.
