This week we ask…
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Erin of The Usual Mayhem: A vet.
Olga of The European Mama: An ice cream vendor because then I woud make people happy
Annabelle of piri-piri lexicon: A teacher
Angelique of The Magic of Play: I wanted to get married and have a large family and after write books
Carrie of Crafty Moms Share: An inventor. I was going to invent something big and have my father as my gardener/butler.
Heidi of 2KuriousKids: Teacher or banker
Leanna of All Done Monkey: Writer.
Mary of Sprout’s Bookshelf: A librarian. . . and I’m finally almost there!
Kristen of Toddling in the Fast Lane: Always a mommy. And then either a writer, dancer, or singer. I really wanted to be famous as a kid. Not anymore!
Valerie of Glittering Muffins: A kindergarten teacher.
MaryAnne of Mama Smiles: A mom! Or a teacher, dancer (never took dance, though), artist, singer, or pianist. Or doctor.
Frances of Discovering the World Through My Son’s Eyes: Flight attendant. I wanted to travel the world!
Melissa of Vibrant Wanderings: My dreams changed frequently, but writer and teacher were probably the longest running, and those are what stuck.
Varya of Creative World of Varya: A number of things. A ballerina first, a neuro-surgeon after, a veterinarian later and finally I became a teacher.
Cordelia of Multilingual Mama: First female president and a ballerina.
Ute of expatsincebirth: I had many dreams about what to become: a veterinarian (to help all the animals in the world), an architect (to build a house for everyone), a translator and a writer… well, I became a Dr. but not a medical one and do write a lot, I am translater too and am also a language teacher.
Jody of Mud Hut Mama: I also wanted to be a veterinarian and I wanted to build a log cabin in my parents’ backyard so I would never have to leave home – they like to tease me about that since I moved further away than any of my siblings.
Giselle of Kids Yoga Stories: A teacher!
Melissa of Where going havo?: A teacher, briefly an archeologist, and an author. Then I realized I don’t actually have any original ideas to write about…making my current profession of ‘translator’ a perfect fit! Other people’s ideas, my words.
Cecilia of Spanglish House: That is a good question, I wanted to have a Little House in the Prairie family, but at the same time I wanted to do what my dad does, He works with Rural Development in Bolivia.
Jennifer of The Good Long Road: A professional pianist. (Really from about age 8 and on, there was nothing else, just that). It took going to college on a piano scholarship to discover that it was not what I wanted to be when I grew up at all. Though, I do love that the trailer for my latest film (Smuggled) features classic music I arranged and performed for the project.
Madre Exilio of Maternidad en 2 Lenguas: I wanted to be a doctor, a surgeon to be more precise. My parents didn´t encourage me to do so and I regret I did not try it harder. I do read a lot about our body, how to look after it, what kind of herbs and alternative medicine we can use to prevent potential health issues, so I guess I´m still passionate about human body’s functions and its capacity.
