What did you want to grow up to be?

It's always interesting to think about what your goals and dreams used to be as a child or young teenager. Some of you might have wanted to be a pilot or a footballer or a fashion designer!

What did you want to grow up to be when you were younger?

It would be cool to hear if what you wanted to be is what you are now or still want to do now, or if your mind has changed completely :cool:

    I first wanted to sing and act.. I wanted to be a performer.. but then I got discouraged from that. I lost my passion.
    Then I wanted to be a paramedic. I wanted to help people who were sick.
    Then I wanted to be a police officer.. I wanted to punish the bad people and bring justice to the world.
    Then I wanted to be a teacher,,, I wanted to give children faith that learning and this world is a wonderful place.

    Now I want to be a mental health worker... I want to show others like me that they are not alone and they aren't broken. I want to show them that despite their struggles and ill health.. they can be happy.

    @raich I absolutely love psychology but it's my worse subject hehe :) I think I want to go into some form of healthcare but I could quite possibly end up doing an English degree lol:p

    @raich pretty much, yes. Unfortunately, I started losing colour vision at 15 so it won't be happening.

    Much like everyone I went through a million different phases. The earliest one I remember was a paramedic because my family watched casualty, haha. Actually, pretty sure I went through all the emergency services. Guess I fancied myself as a bit of a hero!

    @Petrichor Haha! It's interesting how TV shows and various other things can change our minds throughout life!

    I didn't really know what I wanted to do when I was a child, but when I got to my school times, I knew I wanted to work with Children.

    Cool :)

    Yes (well more so biology), but my course is mostly biology with a core class in chemistry (I like some bits of chemistry but hate others lol :banghead:). Never done physics and don't fancy it!
