i wanted to be an fbi agent or a cia agent. i was too young to know that it's only in america do those organizations exist. the local versions don't appeal to me. i set on becoming a lawyer then. when that didn't happen i took up pyschology and ended up as a teacher.

I always wanted to do something with law and bring bad people the criminals down and lock them up so I became a Prosecuting Attorney and I love it.

I wanted to be a lawyer like my dad, an engineer like my favorite uncle and a businessman because I was told money was in business. And I wanted to be rich.
All these at the same time.
Yeah.
I was a pretty ambitious kid. :p

As a child I had lots of dolls and used to play school with them. One doll was the teacher and the other dolls were the pupils. I also had dolls that I did parenting role playing with. Like I took my baby doll around in a pram. I looked at my gobe a lot and was interested in different countries. I was poor at Maths when I was at school so I didn't think I would become a teacher. I went to college and studied shipping and business. I got a job in a ship brokers. I went traveling a great deal. After my trip around the world I got my qualification in Maths so that I could go to university. I became a primary school teacher so I guess I did really know what I was going to turn out to be. I am a keen traveler as well as a parent.

I always wanted to become a nurse. Well, I did fulfill my dreams. I have worked as a nurse and its very satisfying. But now, I am working in a company as a management consultant. I do love it likewise.

There was a few different things that I had thought about becoming growing up..at one point I wanted to be a teacher, then a nurse and lastly I wanted to get into something to do with forensics. I thought that anything in between a profiler and a forensic scientist would of been something I really would of liked to have got into. But I didn't get into anything of the sorts...sadly!

There were only two things that I wanted to be when I grew up as a child. First off, I wanted to be a pediatrician because I loved the pediatrician that I had as a child and wanted to follow in her footsteps and also because my father was a physician's assistant and I also wanted to be like him. The other thing that I wanted to be when I grew up was a mother, so that I could be like my mom was for us. Well, I didn't end up as a pediatrician as I gave up that dream when I decided not to take the MCAT and instead ended up as a mother, which is a role that I love having more than anything else I could imagine.

I had a few while I was young. I wanted to be fireman but, seeing how dangerous it would be and add the fact that the things that firemen need in our country aren't that updated, it also adds to the danger of the profession. Next was being a basketball player. I am tall but, I just didn't find the time to practice more or focus myself on playing the sport. Then during high school, I though of being a journalist. Then again, when I entered college, that wasn't the course that I got into but, instead to something else that I didn't regret at all finishing. Comparing to what I had in mind before to what I do now, things have certainly changed.. (^_^")
