What Did You Want To Be When You "Grew" Up?

Our elementary school always had us collect money for UNICEF.

My dream was to travel the world and save humanity!

I wanted to see and experience every culture there was!


When I got older I wanted to be a research attorney. Even have a couple years of college for it under my belt.

Somehow I ended up being a child care provider with a degree in ECE....

Funny how life takes you where it wants to and not always where you want it to.

"you're lucky, I think all 3 of my kids are pretty sure Not to even want kids of their own"

That's funny. None of my 3 kids wants kids either. I tell people there's no better birth control than running a daycare while your kids are growing up.

I always want to work with kids and be my own boss.

In elementary school I wanted to be a waitress. In middle school a marine biologist in the ocean. And in high school I wanted to own a bar :confused:


I've never been a waitress, only been to the ocean a hand ful of times, and I don't drink more than a beer or two a couple times a year.

My mom framed an assignment I wrote when I was in 3rd grade. She had kept it for some reason, and when I started doing Daycare, she framed it and gave it to me. It says:

"When I grow up I want to be a babysitter. My mom is a babysitter and she has the cutest kids! One of them is a baby and I love to hold the baby. She is so cute! I would charge one dollar per hour but if the kids are harder to take care of I would charge a dollar and fifty cents per hour. I love babies the most."

That is darling.

I wanted to be a veterinarian.

I wanted to be ...
a veterinarian
a police officer
a child psychologist
a website designer
a photographer
and finally a child care provider

I wanted to be a veterinarian from when I was a little girl until I started high school. The police officer one lasted through high school until my first year of college, I took a ju jitsu class and got a black eye ... I didn't like that very much so I changed my mind. The rest were from 2001 until 2010. Technically I've always liked child care, I started when I was 10. I guess I just never thought that I could make a career out of it but I'm glad that I did happyface
