I had a fluctuating ambition... In my early childhood I wanted to become a shool teacher. Later it moved on to a doctor. Then I wanted to try for defence, airforce. Then finally I ended up being a OCmputer Science Engineer. How about you? What did you want to become and what have you become now? Were you able to achieve what you want?

As a child, I always wanted to be a veterinarian. I loved/love animals of all sorts. As I got older, I realized that I love animals, hate blood, so being a vet was out. I am now studying to become a high school math teacher. I am actually very excited about the decision, it leaves me time during the summer and holidays to spend with my friends family and dogs. I have to add that a friend of mine, when he was little, wanted to "Be a Fire truck." I really do not think he will ever live that down.

When i was a child I am dreaming of becoming a teacher when i Grow up. But as time goes by my passion for teaching decreases as I really love mathematics a lot. Since I also like to learn more about computers and technology I pursue a career in Computer Engineering and fortunate enough to have landed a job as a software engineer in an IT company. Even though I didnt end up being a teacher the passion is still there thats why when I have time I teach lessons to my little cousins at home especially when they like me to teach them mathematics.
