    Severe storms are just passing through here and the rest of Texas, and it got me thinking. When I was little, I wanted to be a meteorologist, and so whenever a storm rolls in, it reminds me of when I was little.

    I was just wondering: when you were little, what did you want to be/aspire to?

    Storms <3. We haven't had a good storm in far too long.

    I always wanted to be a nun, from when I was but a wee bairn to my mid-teens. Happily ignoring the fact I was less than nun-like my plan was to approach a convent at 25 and begin the process of becoming a nun.

    At some point it clicked how far away my personality and drives were from those that would enable me to live in a convent. So my dreams of being a nun had to be shelved. Unless of course I graduate and find life just isn't working for me, then it may be a serious contender in the "what should I do?" game.

    When I was little, I was pretty sure I'd be a vet for years. Yeaaaaah, not happening.

    When I was sighted, I wanted to be either an electrician or a history teacher. Oh, my how things change that you don't expect happen to you without any warning at all. Eventually I would have transfered my electricians certification into something in technology perhaps comp science or related field with a bachelors degree. The sad part of this thread is that you still can change your future to whatever you want to be even an meterologist just apply yourself and get a tutor in the areas you doubt.

    A doctor. Until I realised you couldn't just cut the people up, you had to fix them...

    My mother always told me that when I was a young girl I was walking around with a bible and wanted to become a priest. I did not become one :grin:
    As long as I can remember I've wanted to become a gym teacher. Closest I got was graduating as a sports instructor

    A pig. From the ages between 5 and 8, when ever I was asked what I wanted to be by a teacher, I was determined to be a pig. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    When I discovered that was impossible due to science, I wanted to be a farmer. That idea was ruined when a teacher shattered my dreams and told me that farmers slaughter pigs. The world turned very dark around that time... :'(

    I LOVED PIGS SO MUCH :frowning2:

  14. As a little kid, I wanted to be a dragon and an arthropodologist (although I didn't have that word in my vocabulary at the time).

    That's why I want to be a medical examiner. I'll get paid to cut up dead people. Yippee.

    That is adorable. I love pigs too.

    Over the years I wanted to be a ninja, a vet, a secret agent, a fighter pilot, and a rockstar.

    Now I'm a music shop cashier and stocker, but I still kinda wanna be a ninja....

    When i was ever asked what i wanted to be i replied "a cool dude" or else "a footballer". Not sure i ever had a vision of what a cool dude was but it was always my first answer followed by or else a footballer. It seems like i aspired to be a cool dude but failing in that i would try and become a footballer.

    Oh no, i think i'm a failure. LOL.

    I didn't want to be anything, it always seemed more fun fantasizing I was doing the occupation (like performing surgery or going into outer space) than actually working to become whatever.

    I wanted to be an author, and I still do to some extent. I love writing, but it usually doesn't make much money to write books.
