Something that has to do with computers.

But fuck it. 14 year olds are making opensource OSes, and I still have no fucking idea what a string variable is.

At my school, in kindergarten, they make a video at the end for kindergarten graduation. You stand there and say "My name is *Blank*. When I grow up, I want to be...."

My answer was: "My name is Autumn.....When i grow up, I want to be....a doctor. And a lawyer. And a vet. And president."

As you can see, I was very ambitious.

Like Autumn, my school made a video asking us that too.

"My name's Katie, and I want to be Spongebob."
That got some laughs. I was dead serious.


I also wanted to be a singer/rock star. I was a cool kid.

Really? No one wanted yo be a mad scientist or a master thief? Maybe I indeed was a weird kid...

I wanted to be like Carmen San Diego and steal the most valuable things from around the world, or like the villian from Inspector Gadget whit his maniacal laugh.

Now im a writer and soon-to-be psychologist...

Hey, I want to be a vet too. ;P

Anyway, I remember when I was like 7, i would march up and down the hallway with a dog leash attached to the back of my pants and act like I was Godzilla... So..............

I wanted to be Godzilla when I was a little kid.

When I was young, I wanted to be a doctor, knowing that they help people. I still have artwork from kindergarden illustrating my interest in doctors. Now, I'm still interested in being a medical professional, as I've learned a lot from the various exams I've been through to see what is to explain for the weakness in my left leg. I had a conversation with the school physical therapist about her training and stuff related to physical therapy, and it seems like a perfect fit for me.

Cosmonaut. Astronaut in particular, but back then I did not know they're the same thing, and I thought Cosmonauts went as far as Saturn. :P

But the main thing I was really into was just becoming a show-off.

I loved the peaceful concept of golf, so I thought I was going to be a professional golfer. That interest has since all but left me.

I thought I was like most kids but now seeing what everyone else wanted to be I guess I wasn't the same.
Like most little kids I wanted to be a firefighter, or a police officer, or professional baseball player (catcher or 2nd baseman). Once I got older I found myself wanting to be an architect and still have dreams of it happening one day. And would even like to be a police officer.
None of those happened to me. I'm now in the Army doing survey and design work. It's close to architecture just on a much wider spectrum. I even thought about going military police... So both of those dreams are still there.

A singer, I think. But I also vaguely remember wanting to be a marine biologist. I just thought they'd spend their time swimming with dolphins, and that seemed fun.
