When I was a little kid, I wanted to grow up to be a doctor, so I could help people.

I ended up going to med school and made it most of the way through before I quit. I now run a site that is devoted to helping improve peoples health through natural and organic means.

So, to answer your question, yes, I am doing what I wanted to do from when I was a kid…. Just not in the way that I imagined.

I’ll let you know just as soon as I DO grow up.

Meanwhile, I’d always known I had a pretty vivid imagination. But, I never knew what I could do with it!

Still waiting to see how my life’s gonna turn out…

I graduated with a degree in psychology. I tried (not too hard) to get into grad school. Didn’t work out, thought I would try teaching as my new husband was a teacher. Been doing it 10 years now, totally love it. Did I think I would be a teacher when I was a child? No! But when I look back, I should have. I have worked with kids my whole life. And the psychology thing? Come to find out, crazy people make ME crazy. Good thing that didn’t pan out huh?!? I knew even as a child that I wanted children, and i have 3 precious ones now, and an absolutely fanTAStic husband.

For me this would be a yes, with a but. As a kid I always dreamed of making a living as a writer. Of course I was thinking novelist, screenwriter, creative poet, etc. So I am making a living as a freelance writer, so I guess that’s a yes with an asterisk. Making a living as a writer, but just can’t quite get over the hump in getting the novel published.

Nope, spent 30 years with AT&T when the career I wanted to pursue was in commercial art. Spent most of my 57 years in Illinois. Now I am retired at age 57 living on the edge of a jungle in the Philippines writing a blog. Not at all how I thought things would turn out.

Addiction to Bejeweled is definitely a worthy subjects, as you can reach out to millions…or at least 3 people…whose loved ones are deeply neglected because of their bejeweled addiction. Just think…you can be Bejeweled’s equivalent of Betty Ford. You will have a rehab center named for you.

The thoughts we have in the past oftentimes does not fit in with our present state of being. As we go on with our lives, many things happen. Our venerated beliefs are oftentimes shattered by the realities we encounter. Though I did not get what I thought I want, I’m happy to have evolve for the better.

Thank you so much. But, speaking of writing, and working on my book, I dropped the ball a few months back, and I am using this New Year as a motivational kick in the ass to rededicate myself to finishing it!

I was going to be “a ballerina and a mom.” That was what I told everyone when I was about seven. A mom? Yup! I’m so blessed. But as an adult, I realize the huge thing would be to say a STAY AT HOME MOM. My biggest dream, never realized. Married the wrong man. Economy. All kinds of reasons. But back in those days, ALL moms were stay at home moms.

The ballerina part? Yea RIGHT. I don’t have even an ounce of grace in my pinky finger, much less in my toes!

If someone asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up, I would say, “Become Old”
Well, am working on that…. lol

I for sure thought I’d be living on Jupiter with 7 alien wives by now.

Jules Verne books suck. I had my hopes up and everything.

Hi Kathy,
Well now this has me thinking. What did I start of wanting to be (do) and what do I do now. As far back as I can remember, my first ambition – when I was in Standard II – was to marry my class teacher. Then I wanted to be an engine driver, the baker’s son-in-law (for obvious reasons) not caring to find if he had a daughter or not and then a marine engineer and finally an advertising professional.
Well I did stay in advertising for some time though after completing my MBA but completely by accident I got into eLearning and that’s what I do for a living – and love it.
So do I do what I started off wanted to do – no, but I still want to marry my standard II teacher though. So while you are busy making your plans, life has it’s own plan for you and to which you must adhere.

I still haven’t grown up so I don’t know what I will be. However as a kid all I wanted to be was a mom and a writer so I guess I have achieved both of those goals. I should have been a bit more specific however about being successful at both of those jobs.
