When I was a kid I wanted to be an actress. I remember that I thought it's very easy job back then and it would bring me fame and fortune. That was a little naive of me but I was only a child. When I grew up a bit I gave up that idea and my plans for the future became unclear for a long time. I don't think I would make a good actress. I'm too shy for public spectacles. I wonder why it seemed so easy while the actor job is though and not everyone is suited for it.
How about you MyLot members? Who do you wanted to be when you were kids and what do you think about it now? Did you make your childhood dream come true or do you want now exact opposite of what you hoped for back then?

As a child, I remember being really fascinated with oceanology, I guess that's mostly because I'm an esthete and seeing all these tv programmes about underwater world was kind of appealing to me. However, as I got older, I started paying more attention to other things and forgot about this plans.

There were two different things that I wanted to do when I grew up as a child. The first thing that I ever decided that I wanted to do was that I wanted to be a pediatrician. This was a dream that I kept with me through my first three years of college when I realized how much longer it would take in schooling. The other thing that I really wanted to do when I was a child was that I wanted to be a mother.
Well, I'm grown now and I'm the stay-at-home mother to two of the most wonderful children in the world and I really do feel like my life is fulfilled.

I want to be a doctor. 
Then I became afraid of blood and wounds when I was in high school. Seeing blood makes me dizzy. Then when my mom was hospitalized, I then realized that I hate hospitals. So the doctor became an office worker then became a businesswoman. Whenever I reminisce the things I said to my parents that I will be the one curing them when they get sick, it makes me laugh and ashamed at the same time. They want me to be a doctor or a nurse badly but I just can't do it.
