What did you want to be as a child?

I wanted to be a veterinarian, thanks to all the Animal Planet I watched. Later on, I realized it wasn't something that really interested me anymore.

As a kid, I had a massive obsession with cars, and wanted to be a racing driver.

 

Now though, I have a massive obsession with cars, and want to be a racing driver, but I work in a theme park for the time being. I have bought myself a performance car, though.

I wanted to be an airplane pilot. I had an obsession with planes and helicopters and had full intentions of learning to fly someday. Even now, I’d still love to get my flying license, although that won’t be happening anytime soon.

I wanted to be an architect. And everyone grown up I talked to said you needed to be really good at math. I just wanted to draw buildings.

I wanted to be WWF Womens Champion.

I still think I'd like wrestling, just not for WWE these days

I wanted to be a detective or an professional artist. I'm sorta working my way up there just differently.

I wanted to be an astronomer.

Got intimidated by the extra schooling and the math I would have to know. So I backed down.

Now I am a bank teller. And every day I wish I pursued my dream.

Many things, but one particular incident stands out.

I wanted to be either a writer or musician in 4th or 5th grade, but my teacher Ms. Hong (who was actually rather nice) asked me if, when I was 30, I'd still want to be in that career. I answered (not on my own) "no".

...Sometimes the meanest people are the ones who legitimately have good intentions.

I always wanted to make cartoon films and TV shows. Come to think of it, I kinda still do. Not sure why I never let go of it.
