Everyone in childhood phase definitely face this question what is your ambitions?.when our teachers ask this there will be several answers comes to our minds.Most of them definitely have some funny ambitions like becoming Spiderman ,princess lol.some say teacher,police,etc.there are several fields overall. But our aims keep on changing with our life.i wonder sometimes if anyone have same ambition in childhood and present they become successful in making their ambitions true. Tell about your childhood ambitions friends .?do you have the same goal till now ?are you successful in your goals making them true.?.

Hi! It's actually funny since my first childhood dream was to be a teacher. Later on, it changed to a politician, a physical therapist, and a journalist. What's funny is that I am back to my original childhood dream and I am working as a teacher.

I wanted to join army instead but unfortunately could not go for it as growing up change of mind and so as ambition then wanted to go for hotel management could not make it either. Finally landed on doing mca and joined a company. That's my story.

My childhood was over fifty years ago. We had limited exposure to outside world and the brightest wanted to become doctors or engineers. I became a professional accountant and it was good enough to earn a living - siva

@Icydoll I told my son to pursue his interests, whatever he had passion for. I know some parents who tell their children " We couldn't become doctors or engineers, so become one" That is unfair to their children trying to hothouse them against their will - siva

I used to want to be a vet and look after animals, until my first proper encounter with blood freaked me out and I went off the idea lol. I used to do line dancing as a kid and wanted to go into competitions but my line dance teacher would always put up other girls for the competitions. I'm doing an online course for an award in Event Management and Marketing at the moment as well as starting up a travel blog and working as a Social Media Account Manager lol. So I have my finger in a lot of pies right now

Oh! It is very interesting topic to discuss with. Thanks for the discussion. Well, it's really fun to remember the life's plans and ambitions. They all change with time. There are always ups and downs in life. Well, life is mystery. I always like to do something creative.
