i wanted to be a few different things when i was growing up the earliest i can remember was i wanted to be a marine biologist when i was about 7 because i love swimming and animals and it seemed like a great way to combine the two into a profession but as i got older i geared more towards being an artist until i started getting major artists block problems and my work began suffering so i turned towards photography which i'm still in love with and the idea of glass blowing which looks very fun and is very creative without having to rely on my drawing. tho that has shifted again towards the field of culinary delights because iv'e discovered how much i love to cook for others especially decadent pastries that one would find in their favorite bake shop so my newest dream is to have one of those wonderful little hometown type bakeries maybe it'll happen maybe it wont well see!

Haha Excellent, a marine Bioloigst, an Artist, and now a baker.. wow life sure has takin you far,Change is a good thing, as long as were happy with the new changes, I myself loved animals and hated watching them get sick, but I knew I was too much of a baby to go into the field of being a vet haha well im glad you have that dream of opening your own little bakery, You can strive for that and make it come true like that Women on Last Holiday.. forgot her name but that movie would fit so well into this discussion :)

Hi, friend. As it happens with many people, it happened with me also that i went through many different aspirations throughout my 19 yr long life till now. When i was about 12 yrs old, i started to feel like becoming a scientist. Well, this was not beyond grounds, i started my research when i was 14 yr old, in field of unification of fundamental forces. However, i am still researching on it. The second thing that came to my mind was to become a cricketer. Cricket is a hugely loved game in our country. This also came with some grounds. When i was around 15 yrs, nearly everyone who played cricket with me praised me, that inspired me to go for it. But, my parents never wanted to see me as a cricketer. Now, i am pursuing my engineering degree in computer science, and my first preference is to become a successful engineer, coz i don`t get sufficient time to research and to play cricket. However, i spare a little time for both of these. Happy Mylotting!!
