This one is easy - an astronaut.  In fact I still do want to be an astronaut (I currently work as a computer programmer/designer)!

If John Glenn can go up at the age of 76, there's still hope for me!   ;D

When I was really young (like, preschool-elementary school) I wanted to be a princess. Then in middle school I wanted to be a teacher, and in high school I decided on being a doctor. :)

I wanted to be so many things because a lot of things seemed so intriquing to me.  I really wanted to be a lawyer most of all, and a businessman second of all.  I just love being around positive people and being a source of refuge for those who have been dealing with misfortunes and who are destitute.  I really like being involved in several careers that would afford me to use my people skills, my knowledge, and my desire to just be able to encourage someone along the way.

I wanted to be a doctor. I went through 2 years of pre-med with good grades but was turned off by actions of another student from my study group. Well into my second year. I had a group of friends that I studied with. I had to miss a lecture because of work.  I asked one of the people to take notes for me.  They falsified the notes and didn't tell me about a quiz the next day which I failed.

My dream was to be/do one of two things. To be a large animal veterinarian or to raise horses on a ranch. Or I would have been deliriously happy to have done both.  But, alas, neither of my dreams came true. Now I have realistically lowered my dream to just one day own a horse. Just one or two and I will be happy. Maybe one day before I die that dream will come true.  :dontknow: :P :angel11: :angel12:

i wanted to be a member of the us equestrian team & ride in the olympics.  sadly, "life" got in the way & all i ever did was ride in local & regional shows.  i'm happy & content with the way things have worked out for me though.  i train horses & give lessons & i have an amazing family that supports me.  with out their love & support i wouldn't be happy.

i wanted to be like Edgar Cayce or Jesus. I became a nurse and have nothing to show for the 30 years of hard work that wore my body down but i raised 2 children and did a lot of good loving care for a lot of sick and injured. Do they even know me now. No people just dont care when they move on and expecially those that never had money problems. They just dont treat spiritual poor people well at all in this life.

I seriously wanted to grow up to be a monkey!  I had the book and my favorite stuffed animal I named JoJo.  He had green cortuoroy pants.  He's around somewhere.  

Update: no longer want to be a monkey by the way :)  Right now I want to be anything that pays at least $3 an hour and that is pretty much impossible for me in my situation :(

Oh tons of things

Astronaut
Firework maker (thats what I called it when I was 5)
Video game maker (same)
Baseball player

grew up some...

Fireman, Policeman, Anesthesiologist, IT-related computer stuff.

Ended up...

Business Administration and Information Technology emphasis, and I regret it. No jobs and I found out I hate management. I would love to be a firefighter or have served in the military, but I was injured pretty badly at the end of highschool playing sports, so I had to do something not too physical.
