One time or the other, some one asked you this when you were younger. What do you want to be when you grow up? or What do you want to do after college? Do you want to be a doctor? A chemist? A professor?
And you most probably answered something like being a doctor, a cop or a lawyer or wanting to have your own business.
So, looking back 10 years ago or so do you still remember "what do you want to be when you grow up?" and is it your profession now?

LOL. That's nice. Being a write also hit me when I got A+ in my english subject for my short story.:)
Anyways, when I was younger, my dad always tells his friends: "This is my son, he's going to be a lawyer and my daughter is going to be a doctor."
And guess what, my brother took up International Studies majoring in European Studies and I took up Management course. LOL.

I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was growing up. I did work in a vets office for a short time, but I was advised by my boss to quit after finding out I was pregnant with my first child. Since then I've been a housewife and mother (AKA a stay at home mom). So I never did become a vet, but I would still like to work with animals again one day. Until then I have my own little mini zoo of kids and animals to take care of. LOL

When I was child of 5, I dreamed of becoming a pilot. But, later I changed my mind, and I dreamed of becoming a sports person, and then finally I wanted to become an actor. I did become a stage artist and then I realised, I have something else which is more deeper and intense than an artist. And I realised I could be a teacher. So, finally, I'm grown up now and working towards becoming a spiritual teacher. :)
