What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be an astronaut. But, I am noticing that a lot of my students no longer have the desire to do anything with their lives, by the fourth grade! I had a student tell me that he wanted to be an accountant the other day, I almost cried.

Astronaut, truck driver, fire fighter, police officer, doctor, millionaire, and vice-president of Mergers and Acquisitions.







Well, except for that last part.

Bullshit.
Those forces combine to create a soaking, boiling mudstorm on Valentine's Day.

I wanted to be an astronaut in grade 2.

Everybody told me all the years of hard work and school that would be required for me to do so...

so i just gave up in live at the tender age of 8.

now i drive a forklift.

ha, yeah. I think everyone sort of gives up on the fireman, policeman, teacher dream when they realize how little public service pays.
I actually wanted to open up a pizza hut on Mars. Because, I could be an astronaut and eat pizza all day. I'd tried that freeze dried food and hated it.

I still want to learn to fly! I have a savings account dedicated to saving up for flying lessons right now. I just don't want to add more studies to the schedule right now.

same with astronauts and hearing about how much math is required. That kills most child's dreams for that.

I got the impression that everyone (including myself) wanted to be a marine biologist when we were kids. It wasn't until years later that I realized I formed this belief after asking like three people.

I wanted to be Rambo, sent to weird countries to kill people.

a lottery winner. even when i was young, i knew that my chances of being some type of drone was around 99%.

Lawyer. by the time i was old enough to understand the awful adult grind though i wanted to be
