    Well, I was different than most....now that I'm older I wish I'd had other goals....but it was my life....


    I was adopted at 5 and well they say a childs personality is developed by that age....so I had it rough.

    I grew up wanting the white picket fence, dog in the yard etc.....a "Real Family" of my own. Something I never had. Never gave thought to a career...now that was a mistake.
    No one ever prepped me for adulthood and that most men are jerks & so ya better damn well be educated enough to support your own ass!

    I think I changed my mind about what I wanted to do so many times! LOL Veterinarian (which always came out vegetarian - which I actually am! LOL), Football player (don't ask...it's what you get when you grow up in a male dominated household), Astronaut, writer, actor, singer (oops can't sing, LOL), gymnast, teacher, marine biologist, the whale trainer at Sea World, a race car driver, a dog trainer, ummm...now, I just want to travel the world and meet people. Thinking about politics...I'd get PAID to do that.

    I went through a couple different phases. I wanted to be a hairdresser, social worker, stay at home mom. I knew I wanted to be a wife and have a family some day.

    My wishes have basically come true. I am married, I stay at home, I am always comforting lil' hearts, and I cut hair.<(only in my home)

    If I ever go back to work it will probably be in the Banking industry. I did that for a few years and I think I might go back to it someday.

    Everyone who works on my moms side of the family is an engineer of some sort so I thought that's what i would be I also wanted to be a laywer (did horrible on the lsat), a vet and a teacher (got past my six months of student teaching only to find myself in a classroom alone with 45 not so well behaved kids who spoke little english) Now I work as a program manager and developer in a non profit and I get contracted out to speak to groups and implement programs at other sites and I have a very very small piece published and I get to work with kiddies wihtout all the responsibility of being a teacher.
