When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Is that what you're doing now? Do you still wish you didn't lose sight of your kiddie time ambition? Thanks for sharing!

Answer 3

When I was 6, I wanted to be a paleontologist. When I was 10, I wanted to be an archaeologist. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a "mad scientist".

I work as a Civil Engineer, now, though I do still find science, paleontology, and ancient history fascinating.

You have to be taller to be a flight attendant? Why? To reach the overhead compartments?

Answer 4

i grew up in an orphanage and life was easy and uneasy at the same time - but i learned to appreciate very much what the institution did for me.

i never realized i wanted to be an artist. i used to collect colored stones, twigs, seeds, shells while walking everyday on my way to school. at home i find peace sorting all of them and keep them under my clothes in the cabinet. when i reached grade 4 i started gluing some of the picks and place them (when eveybody's asleep) in our living room's shelves. Then i wait for reactions from by bros. and sisters and my Nanay (filipino word for mother). it seems they dont care if my works are on the shelves. I just noticed my Nanay lift them as she clears dust from the shelves and put them back. With that i knew she appreciates my works.

now i do sculpture in terracotta, found objects (metal and wood), plaster. i paint also and was able to put up some 14 one-man exhibits. this is a dream come true and i thank my Nanay for doing the first step in supporting my dream.
