When I was 9 years old I wanted to be a doctor. In my pre teen years I wanted to go into psychology. When I was in grade 10 I thought I could become lots of different things all at once...I could be a teacher, lawyer doctor, and a veterinarian and I'll handle it well (lol!!!!and now the load is hectic with just one job) I'm grade 12 I chose my current path...I dreamt about a house, stable job, and a family by 23. When you were growing up, what dreams did you have for grown up you?

Oh I think I probably wanted to do and be pretty much everything. When I was in high school my dream was to be a graphic artist. My friends were going to be a director and a photographer and I was going to design their websites. None of us have followed those dreams. We felt pressured to pick a direction in life when we were in high school, and I wish the counselor told us that it's okay if we don't know what we want to do right away. It was a long time ago that I was in HS though.

Yes...it's nice to think back sometimes to what had happened and what could have happened. Do you think things would have turned out differently without that extra pressure?

@Jazz96 Maybe not. We also wanted to move to the beach because one of the schools that my friend wanted to go to was there. I would have just attended the community college.

I wanted to be a woodcutter when I was 8 years old! That's because there was a neighborhood woodcutter who was very friendly with our family. I was thrilled to watch him cut wood using his axe!

That sounds exciting. If I saw that I would probably want to be a woodcutter too!

I wanted to be a writer because I was awarded the best handwriting certificate. That was when I was 4. Now I'm 18, waiting for CBSE 12th results. But still don't know what to do.
