Answer 1

At 5years old i was sitting around with my cousins and family and we all were discussing what we wanted to be when we grew up, some said firemen, others policemen, i said i wanted to be a " Sike- a- trist ", i couldn't pronounce it as it's real term, " Physchiatrist " how ever i discovered at ten years old that i was born with a musical silver spoon in my mouth, with out going into to much detail at the risk of sounding conceted i'll just say it became my calling in life.
perhaps even my redemption who know's, be that as it may
i persued a musical carreer and my first brilliant decision was to drop out of high school, be that as it may at 23 i met my wife while playing in a rock band in a club on cape cod,
we married and have been together since, we just celebrated our 41st annaversary this dec 11, and are still as madly in love with each other as we were back then, myself i now write my own music and make my own CD and she plays them in her car stereo . . . and that's that! as they say.

Answer 3

I wanted to be an architect, particularly a historic preservationist, and travel to the world preserving historic landmarks... or a detective (thanks to Sherlock Holmes). Now I'm a fifth year student at University with a major in Italian and a minor in English Language and Linguistics. I am still pursuing my dream of traveling, but in a different way that's more feasible considering my talents, and just a different view of life that has evolved from growing up and experience.

Answer 4

I wanted to be rich, as of yet, I haven't attained that goal. Happy New Year. 2D

Answer 5

I wanted to be an astronaut and a pilot. And no, I'm neither, but not because I didn't try.

What I found out is that I could fly an airplane just fine, but I never got comfortable or felt like I belonged up there. Sometimes you have to admit to yourself that dreams are just that--dreams. The more you learn about who you really are and what you really like and want, the more you create your own future.

People change and continue to change. And you can't and won't know what you want to do with your whole life when you're young. It comes to you over time.

When I was a kid my father had vineyard and I hated it! What a lot of work and for nothing because kids don't drink wine.

And now? I'm starting a vineyard. I realized a long time ago that some of the best times of my life were linked to watching those grapes grow during those endless summers.

Answer 6

I wanted to design clothing & jewelry. I used to make my own & for friends out of recycled ventage stuff. But somehow that did not work out. I got married to a cute guy & had beautiful children instead. This Christmas some one told me I went on an adventure it just wasn't the one I planned. :)

Answer 7

When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a lot of different things when I get older. One week I wanted to be a firefighter, another week I wanted to be a salesperson, and then I wanted to be a doctor another week. I changed my mind dozens of times. Why I did this, I've got no clue. LOL. I would like to get a job for an airline, but I live far away from the airports. I love traveling by plane; it feels like freedom.

Answer 8

I wanted to be a veterinarian, but after I took my first psych class I knew that was what interested me.

My PhD is in behavioral psychology.

Answer 9

I wanted to be a pediatrician until I realized that I'd be in school even in my thirties. Now, I am a high school senior (honors student), and I will be a research scientist, and acquire a Ph.D., which is more convenient for me and gives me more time to live and breathe.
