everybody has an ambition in their childhood like wanting to become a doctor, lawyer or an engineer. but due to circumstances or fate, that dream sometimes remains as a dream. i always wanted to become an engineer when i was a child, but now i am an officer in merchant navy. what about you?

I wanted to be a verterinarian but I could never get passed science classes where we had to operate on the frog. I puked in a garbage can and had to go home sick. I decided then that I can't do that. Then I thought I would be an accountant, but failed math. So now I am a project manager for the Canadian federal government.

I have been dreaming of becoming an engineer and yes I did graduate Mechanical Engineering but unfortunately I haven't got my license yet. So now am working as a manufacturing technician but am praying that I would pass my board exam this year so I could call myself a full pledged engineer and make my long dream a reality.

I wanted to be truck driver , female wrestler or own a resturant. Currently, I am a stay at home disabled mother. The only part that is what I wanted growing up...is the mother part.

I had several wishes but only one comes true. I now own my own business, a one stop wedding shop. Still struggling because it's only a year old, but I wouldn't give it up for anything.
