When I Was Young I Wanted To Be A...

[Me Myself and I]

When I was young I wanted to be both a belly dancer and a teacher! ahaha :laugh:

I have sort of managed to do both though, belly dancing as my hobby, and Languages teacher as my profession! :D

How about you?

A vet. I did train racehorses, and managed a show horse barn. That was my favorite job. Kids and horses. I ended up as a nurse.

Is it odd that I never did? I hated the question you get get in school where you are supposed to write about what you wanted to be when you grow. I never had an answer. I just always had this feeling I wouldn't live long enough to make to adulthood. I remember being in 2nd grade and I was talking to a girl in my class. She was talking about going to college, and I had literally never heard of college before, and when she explains it was going to school after normal school, I couldn't wrap my head around why anyone would willingly go to school. I didn't even understand that it had anything to do with a job or that the school had anything to do with jobs. This stuff was just never explained to me. The only time anyone ever talked about my future was this one girl who was always telling me her parents said I was white trash and going to be a hooker when I grew up. I was to young to even know what that meant.

I wanted to be a prison officer - all my friends wanted to be hairdressers or air stewards but i never followed the crowd!
One girl in class ( we were both aged about 10) said to me 'oh you must be a lesbian then' i didnt know what one was it i remember some of the other kids all gasped and the teacher told her off.
Odd, i didnt become a prison officer ( too dangerous and didnt pay enough) but the lesbian bit was right lol !!

First a Dr. and then an acter (I did not know that it was an actress I wanted to be, I didn't know much about it back then). Later I wanted to be an artist, which I did do for many years. I am retired now though, mostly, though I am applying for a small volunteer position as a Senior Companion now.
