Do you remember ever being asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
So, here is that question, once again…

I’ve always wanted to become an accountant. I studied for a time and worked in this profession for 24 years in my home country.

it really depends on what age i was when you ask.
i have chased many careers over the years. Stand-up comic was the dream for a while. Before that it was a poet. Then it was principal. All of those changed eventually into what I am now.
-
I would say 10 or under. Little kids dreams. I know you did stand up in college, but at what age did you first want to be one? About the poet, you are one. Published or not, and I can totally see you as principal for a school, you’d of been a good one.

my dad worked with NASA for years. He and I would sit in his office, and then later in his home office and talk about what he was doing.
i miss those conversations.
-
Awe, that happens. I know how you feel, I do that from time to time. I miss my dad. I was a total daddy’s girl. You can tell how much of an influence he had on you, he made you the man you are today. Sorry about the sadness though.

If you’ve mentioned that before I don’t remember. I know we talked about this when you posted that globe you have. So NASA, wow. How cool is that. No wonder you still have that love. 🙂
-
i actually haven’t talked about it before, until recently some of those memories just made me cry.

As I read the question, I remembered my nephew (at that time he was five years old and now a chemist) who aspired to be a robot, and my mother grumbled to hear it (incidentally she was upset with something at that time). Until now, every time I teased my mother with her grunt at that time, she would tweak my ears.
-
lol, oh thats perfect, a robot. How cute, and a really funny and cute story. I can almost see the look she gave you before the tweaking.

My choices always changed somewhere along the line I wanted to be a vet assistant. Anyway if I had known what it was to write I would have started as soon as computers came out. Now I am glad I have begun. Poetry I was already writing in many different notebooks.
-
I have had that opportunity, kind of. When I was 30 I used to work at the Humane Society as the vet tech. Loved it, but was too sad to stay. It is really hard working for them or any rescue I would imagine. That’s when I decided to be a groomer. Less red stuff to deal with. 😉 Too bad we didnt know then what we know now right? Do you still write in notebooks sometimes?
-
I write in notebooks all the time. I have a notebook for poems that quickly come into my head but I am not posting at the moment. Then I have all sorts of notebooks for jotting down my writing assignments and for jotting down what I have posted and where.
-
I have two notebooks here at my computer. To go through those notes, youd think what in the world are these? lol

Wonderful. I have always wanted to learn more than English. Sadly that is not the case.. English it is… I can totally see you wanting this. How many can you speak?

Ah yes, a teacher! So many have inspired me in my lifetime. I still remember Mr. Ford in 3rd grade, he was the best. And a journalist would be so much fun and exciting. I would love being that now. 😉

Very aspiring, a doctor or teacher. Such different fields, did you have a kindergarten teacher that inspired you?
-
Unfortunately, in my young years in our country still we did not have kindergartens. I adore children and they love me 😊

Hmm… I rmb when I was really young, I wanted to be superman! LOL
and then owner of a run-down but surviving comic/video game rental shop so I can play games/read comics for free while still able to have money!!hahaha … I’m really have “lofty aspirations”…
-
lol, Yes! Superman!!! Okay, I will have to admit. I wanted to be superman as well when I was super young. I wanted to fly like him.
Do you ever watch the big bang theory? Thats what the guy does with the speech impediment. I could totally see you doing that. You’d be good at it. I cant see why you cant be both. 😉-
I knew I wouldn’t be the only one wanting to be superman!!! LOL
Oh, I didn’t watch Big Bang Theory. I heard about it from friends though, they highly recommend it.Haha, too bad now people hardly rent physical books/games anymore, they can easily find it digitally online. Maybe an online shop will do good LOL

I always wanted to be a nurse. I did work in the medical field for many years. Thanks for the fun post.

Too many things, but the ones I remember are a detective, a doctor, an artist, and a kindergarten teacher.
-
Funny how they change as we grew up right? I am still kind of upset I didnt become a pearl diver. 😉
-
-
lol, now that would be something. Maybe I used the old scuba gear, ya know with the big helmet thing.

Aw, this is so cute!
Thank you Ellie! I thought so as well, but I am partial. 😉
How cute is this. Reminds me of Dustin. I have photos of him like this, he wanted to be a vet.
Thank you Carol. I hope it brought back sweet memories.
