Good day! Let's admit that all of us when were a child experienced of asking by older one what would like us to be when we grow up, right? Well, I answered "I want to be a teacher." Until on my teenage year I had the same dream. But it doesn't happen because of so many reasons.... I'm into a business now. How about you, does your dream when you were a child come true?

When I was a young child I had a globe and I liked to hold it in my hands. My finger would move to different destinations. I wished to travel the world when I grew up. That is what I have been able to achieve. I have been to more than fifty different countries in the world now that I am grown up. I have traveled around the world and I was 20 years old when I went on that fantastic trip.

I don't blame you in choosing that path... everyone wants a high salary and that's one factor in choosing a college degree course. Thanks for sharing udnisak!

[b]I don't know what I said/have in my mind at my child age. But, now I have a vision of establishing a Association and do welfare for the people who are still in slums. And I am working on it. I will do it.[/b]

Never, I would say. None of my dream or wishes on my birthday ever come true. I just realized that it was just a wishful thinking. I am trying my best to work on it, and hopefully someday I can make more money to keep myself survive that is all.

So far nope. In my childhood, I had always been to be a policeman, sportsman, and businessman. I am none of those. In fact, what I am doing now, computering, it was never an option back then.

i think kids often say that they wanted to be teachers when they are young because they have nothing but teachers as role models in school. this isn't a bad thing, but it explains why most of us who wanted to be teachers before don't end up being that. i also said i wanted to be a teacher. then it shifted into being a lawyer. and guess what, now i want to be a businesswoman~!(^_^) but i'm still in school, so maybe i'll start doing something about that after i graduate.;)

I got your point, but you know in my case.. teaching is still in my heart. I do really want to be a teacher, it doesn't happen because of so many reasons. I'm enjoying what I am right now.. and in fact I'm doing teaching in a Sunday school for children in our church. I hope after you graduated you know what you want to be and pursue it.
