hey, can i still count as a kid in my mid-twenties? because when i grow up, i want to be either a translator and writer, a professor, or that guy who sits on the end of an nba bench and high fives his teammates during timeouts while making seven figures a year.
I wanted to be a cartoonist – idolized Charles Schultz, Bill Watterson, Gary Larson, and Jim Davis (before my naivete was conquered by my knowledge that his writing was rubbish) as a child.
I always wanted to be a single lady . . . no . . . really. Well, ok, maybe not, BUT I did always want to be a musician/performer, and . . . I have done that been there, now I’m a worship leadin’ husband and dad!
i wanted to be a mascot. like the people who dress up at Disneyland. Or a stuntman. I would love to combine the two occupations. Mickey Mouse does not escape many explosions in my opinion.
Age 3: a mommy
Junior high: a famous actress/singer.
Then a movie director.
High school: a Marine.
Then a missionary.
College: A writer.
Then an editor.
Now at 28, I’m a mommy, a writer, and an editor, and hopefully still gunning for that missionary thing. And drawing on that ooh-rah Marine Corps ethos to get me through natural childbirth and half-marathons.
The main thing I wanted to be was the wife of someone who wasn’t an alcoholic. My father wasn’t a mean man and he loved me very much. But it made everything in life dysfunctional. And for the past 30 years I have been married to the most marvelous man who falls asleep if he has more than one beer.
A writer of a best selling novel that people would relate to so much it would move them to tears.Have a few poems published already, but my dream as a child and my dream even now as an adult is still the same. Someday.
the guy who rode on the back of the garbage truck and held on with one hand while the stank-mobile drove around my neighborhood. Just looked plain fun to me!
I wanted to be a animal vet or a teacher. At 17, I realized how long they had to go to school and decided to become an RN. Great decision and have been able to work with NICU infants, ex. Octomom’s premature infants.

I can’t say that I had any real aspirations. As I don’t think that “The Flash” counts. So my answer has to be:
