When I was a kid, I used to dream that I would become a teacher. It fascinates me somehow during my early school years that teachers are just something to me who holds authority and all that.
But things changed when I decided to took a college course. I didnt had a chance either to teach even in informal settings. Looking back, I wasnt able to make my childhood dreams come true.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an architect. That did not happen. I still draw, but I never had the patience to go to school for it. I ended up going to school for Sociology. I now have a passion for business. I received greater joy opening my own small home based business, but who knows what the future holds?

Thats far two different interests ! What pushes you to take up another course ? Yes, we still don't know what the future may bring.

I was interested in business. I wanted a degree where I could be employed in any area of the company.

I wanted to be a teacher to, but a art/craft teacher for the younger grades. I do teach some of the kids in my family crafts but it isn't the same. Kids are so fun to watch when they find they love art/crafts they can be so expressive and have so much fun. Maybe someday I might still teach, I am only 36, never know I might be one of those people that go back to college when I get older.

I still write but havenot become a published author even though I have
written two novels and quite a few short stories. Oh I have had several poems published but payments were only copies of the poetry magazine.

But I realized that the profession I imagined dreamed before is not as easy as i thought.But what is important is I was able to finish the course and now I'm practicing or using it.

when i was young i was idealistic,,but as time goes on i became practical...i do have a lot of dreams and aspiration,but i guess non of them do come true,,i don't regret it anyway for i do have a lot of back up plans..now i know that this life is temporary and i cant just waste time bragging bout things i don't have,,i may not be fulfilling my dreams but I'm grateful for every breath i take for every second is a blessing and with open arms ill grasp whatever will come..

Nope, none of my childhood dreams come true. That's because all of them have changed.^_^ I mean sure we all do have childhood dreams but as we grow up and grow old, our dreams would become different. So those childhood dreams remain as that: childhood dreams. Of course there are those people who carry their childhood dreams over to adulthood. Perhaps because they were given the chance to possibly fulfill it. But for those of us whose mindsets change because of our environment and our priorities, our dreams would change according to that and the opportunities that are available to us.
That's just what I think anyways.^_^

well, now that i am working in an office setting i may say that i did not fulfill my childhood dreams. Anyway my job now helps me a lot so i have nothing to regret of not fulfilling my childhood dreams. But, still my childhood will remain, and i hope someday i can still fulfill it.
