hello all my mylot friends i hope all of you love children.even i do love them especially small babies.and not to forget we were like them some years back,a small baby in our mother's lap.when i was a child i had always dreamt of doing something big and remarkable.i wished to be a pilot so that i could reach the sky and fly like birds.but i don't know whatever the reason i couldn't make it. have you had such situation?have you ever as a child dreamt or wished to become something when you grew up?if so what was it and have you achieved your dreams?

I wanted to be an artist. I got into design and went to college for all of it only to find out how much I hate deadlines and having to do what the client wants over and over until they like the work. I have a different job but still sketch and paint for my friends but when I do my work, it's for me and them. 7

I don't love children. When I was a child I wanted to be many things, as most kids do. There was a time I wanted to be a teacher. There was a time I wanted to be a chef. There was a time I wanted to be a farmer. There was a time I wanted to be in radio. Really, I still haven't decided what I want to be when I "Grow up".

When I was little I wanted to be the next Karen Kain (famous ballerina) and I did take ballet and still love it to this day (though I've not danced in MANY yrs)....then as a teen I wanted to become a counselor for troubled and abused kids/teens and to help street kids.....I never became either officially...though I am working on finding a way to go to college....mind you I've been trying to do that for a few yrs now :-/ something always seems to get in the way..

I wanted to be a scientist but somehow my love for music took over and I became a musician.

My mother said, if some body asked me what I will be when I grow up, I would ask that I want to be a mother. Now, I'm a mother of two beautiful children, so I guess I get what I want when I was a child.

I always wanted to be like the actress Doris Day! Isn't that funny! But really I was always a ham and liked to perform with my parents as an audience! That fell by the wayside, but I do work with the public and enjoy it very much. I think it is just the interaction with people everyday and not the same ones that make me happy.
