Well,I dreamed to be doctor when I was a Child, since my grandpa was a doctor, and he was so kind a man and what he did to his patience moved me quite a lot. I just wanted to be a doctor so that I could help people in need like as what my grandpa did. But unfortunately, I didn't make it happened, I became a food science major instead though I could have the chance to enter a medical college. After I graduated, I didn't do any job about Food either, I go to a PCB Group and work as a business development engineer. What about you? What's your Childhood's dream? Did you make it happened? With kind regards, Andy

hello andyliuzn,i dreamt to be a doctor too but after my grandad passed away,I didn't have the motivation and support to be what I wanted to be.I became a Biomedicine major instead.After I graduated,I didn't get a job with Glaxo Smith Kline so I decided to study for a Masters degree in Biotechnology.I'm still in school and I'm graduating prolly next year.

Inever dreamt of money or making money in childhood. Ialways wanted to travel abroad, I did visit couple countries (yet I have to visit Switzerland as I dreamt of it in childhood) and I always loved to have a good library and now I have and it is being used by myself and my son who is a voracious readers. I always wanted to have a car and have one. I always wanted to have a few good friends, I have. I do not think I have not left any dream transformed into reality.

Well, I wanted to be actress when I was growing up and I even took drama courses in college. People thought that I was pretty good ,but my parents thought that I needed to study something more practical ,so I have a degree in Sociology. I don't regret my life because I have a wonderful family and my own business.

Well, it sounds like you are doing a wonderful job, despite your change of plans! I recently succeeded in a childhood dream of becoming a nurse. I raised most of my family first, and then went to college. I'm not sorry for the way things turned out, because I think I have a lot of life knowledge to add to my new career. Good dreams never die.

No, i dont bring jobs to home.. and do it.. because of two reasons.. Firstly, i want to relax and be in a good mood with my family members. Secondly, Whatever, job that i do..or to put this way... how fast or quick i do a job, my Manager never gets satisfied.. He would go on to say.. You Could have done this earlier..and much quicker...no word of appreciation you would get from him..

Man proposes, God disposes..it was just the case of yours.. However as of me i dont have any special ambitions during my schooling. But my parents used to say that.. i must graduate to be an Engineer. I got more marks and actually i stood school first. But due to the financial crisis, that was existing at that time.. i qualified myself as a post graduate in Science...there again i stood as an University rank holder...and i wanted to do atomic research,but again this time luck and God's grace was not in my favour and i landed in a job,at LIC,and in which i am serving till this time..

My childhood dream is to become a super hero but that didn't happen because I have no powers and I have no skills.

No I didn't.But also I have so many dremas when I was child.I wanted be a fashion designer, but when was the time apply for the high school, my parent would deny my idea go to the school for designer.So I just went to a regular high school, to preper myself to go to Univeristy.But then I wanted go again study design I didn't have that knowledge what other students have about drawing and all the teqnics.So I went to college study a ecollogy.After one year be bored I just quit and got a job.I was working in insurance company.Right now I don't have any job, but I am planning to go back to the college and maybe one of my dream would come true.I have still all my life to reach the goal and hope I will.

Oh,well.One of my childhood dream is to marry a rich and pretty man,just like many girls'.But now my boyfriend isn't rich,even a little poor.He is a little pretty in my eyes,although is just 170cm high.What he attracts me is I'm being taken good care of by him.I'm sure in his mind I'm the princess!So I'm quite pleasure to be his girlfriend and then to be his wife maybe after a year,though my dream wouldn't come true.

When I was in the fifth grade I decided that I wanted to be a writer. In high school I worked on my hometown newspaper. Easy to do because I lived in a town of only 3,000 people! I won a journalism scholarship to college and later worked on newspapers. Then in my later life I began writing non-fiction books. I always wanted to be another Hemmingway(Ha! Don't hold your breath for that one! LOL!) But this year I finally published a short novel! If you stay focused and on track you can come pretty close to getting where you want to be in life. Don't worry about the Pulitzer Prize,etc. Lots of great writers never get that recognition. But if you feel that you have told a story that only you can tell, then you have done it!
