All I ever wanted to be was a Mom. A Stay at Home, Milk and cookies making, PTA President, Class Mom - Mom. Maybe because my Mom wasn’t able to be that when I was a child, and I so wanted her to be. I was almost not able to do it, I was wrapped up in the let’s make money and give the kdis all the STUFF they want game, then I got and beat cancer, twice. The whole world became crystal clear at that point for me, and I quit my job, successfully had another baby and beat cancer. Then I settled down to Momydom and all the glory it meant to me. I am a NEVER HOME stay-at-home-Mom, exhausted more than I have even been in my LIFE, and enjoying every single second of it.
It’s not the right choice for everyone, but it was the right choice for us, and I am so happy with the ‘job” I have!

This question have different answers depending on which part of my life I was. Like when I was a tweener (isn’t this the term now for before one becomes a teenager?), all I ever wanted to be when I grow up is to not get caught.
What was it I was doing to not get caught? Reading. You can even read snipets of it at http://thisbookforfree.com/2008/04/free-26-charlie-all-night-by-jennifer.html.

When I was 6, and thought myself in love with this tall, handsome teacher, all I wanted to be when I grow up is to marry him.
Later on, I found out that he’s gay, but he’s still really cute, and he teaches a fun Sunday school.

I will never grow up! I am a jack of all trades, but a master at none. Actually, the role that I am most proud of in my life at age 51 is being a mom of two fantastic teenage sons. They are handsome, creative, do well academically and I can only hope and pray that they remaining being good human beings. Thanks,Cindi

When I was young, I wanted to first be a policeman (due to all the series about brave and good looking soldiers and policemen), later on I wanted to be a fireman instead, thinking that hunting down the fire is indeed very cool and I stand nearer to life than anybody else. When I grew older, I noticed that my ambitions had always been about serving other people and because I did quite well in school and I love science so much, I decided that I would want to be a doctor, and now I’m on my way to be one!! I hope that in the future I could be a competent surgeon who practices urgent surgery. I would want myself to stand as near as I can to the line between life and death, bringing back life from the other side and I know with great power comes great responsibility. And because of this, I have no complains but to work even harder!!

When I was a little girl all I ever wanted to do was be a mommy. Now I am one and much as I would love to stay home with my boys, I can’t. See, I ended up being a single mommy when my husband left me. So, now I would like to become a sign language interpreter.

When I grow up I still want to be a good mommy, hopefully still taking care of young ones. Being a wonderful example for my grown children, looking forward to possibly being an inlaw, grandparent, supporting my children in college. Being a wife to my wonderful husband!

When i was young, i had a wish to become a computer engineer, but growing up i got to know about the challenges and things in life. So later on, i thought to take dentistry as my future and am studying my dentistry. I would like to be a successful dentist when i totally grow up and want to make an impact with my dental knowledge on the internet world too.
I’m a blogger and internet marketer too, so would try to link dentistry with internet and make a good name with it.
Thanks!

I know this is weird but when I was little my hero was pippi longstocking. lol. In kindergarten I was asked to write down what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said I wanted to be like pippi and be able to pick up heavy things like horses.
But anyways now I’m an artist and I hope I can just continue to be that because that’s all I really love to do, create.
