    I wanted to be a make up artist or a doctor.

    A family friend- his kids want to be a swimming pool, from a boy aged 9, and the other one, an 11 year old boy wants to be a labrador dog. : P

    When I was Four or Five my mother and I lived with two of her friends who happened to be strippers. I didnt understand what that meant I just knew that they danced and that there was a pole. So me, who looked up to these women, decided that I wanted to be a "Pole Ballerina"....

    I remember my godfather used to be a high ranking police officer, so I always wanted to follow in his footsteps and become one myself.

    I'm glad I didn't, though. I'd probably be dead by now.

    First I wanted to be an Opera Singer :lol:
    Then, a nature conservationist or animal trainer.

    That hasn't really changed. I'd love to train animals

    At around age 3-5 I wanted to be an engineer on a locomotive. Everything was about trains. Then my parents built a new house and I decided I wanted to be an architect.
    22 years later, here I am working in an architecture firm.

    At first I wanted to be a commercial pilot but then I realized something always goes wrong with those damn jets and people die. So instead I want to be an aeronautical engineer. My dream is to one day design the next version of the Boeing 7 series passenger planes (747, 787 etc.) only this time, the batteries won't explode mid-flight. Hopefully :thumbsup:

    When I was 6 I wanted to write and illustrate my own novels, but this dream died quietly as I realised I could neither write nor draw.

    From that point forward I became a professional singer and wrote all my own music, and I was going to be a rockstar until I discovered how much I loved acting. I've decided I can have both :slight_smile:

    A journalist. Then in college I became disillusioned by the politics of it all.

    I always wanted to be a Mom. I had dreams along the way, teacher, marine biologist, doctor. But, being a mom was always #1.
