One of my young acquaintances wanted to be Superman. Says it hit him pretty hard when he realized it could never be. rolling on the floor laughing

My middle child wanted to be Barbie. I still remember the pink plastic Christmases...

I got tired of adults asking if I wanted to be a teacher or stewardess (no gender equality growing up in the sixties) so I started saying "a pilot". tongue

I wanted to be a chemist, I wanted to climb Everest, and I wanted to win a nobel prize. I will end up doing 2 of these things as a minimum before I end up in the box.

She worked at Baker Library at Dartmouth and had a wonderful little house all her own with a garden tended by a scarecrow named "Arabella". grin

I always wanted to be a nurse or a cop (following family traditions LOL) I was close to getting my nursing license when I injured myself doing my job as an EMT so those dreams went down the drain sigh But now I'm chasing my true dreams in the art world yay

I wanted to work with young offenders...until I did a placement with them for my high-school Co-op!

Quickly changed my mind......I ended up working in a men's Federal Prison instead....at least they had consequences for their actions...called "The Hole"!
