What Did You Wanna Be?


growing up we all had those phases of wanting to be something. Sometimes it was silly, other times we were old enough to seriously consider something. What did you wanna be?

A superhero or super villain. While playing I was often Wonder Woman, Bionic Woman, and Cat Woman, and Bat Girl. Oh and Robin- lol

I have always loved music and collected many instruments although I never did learn how to play. So I guess I wanted to be a singer/musician. The closest I came to that was joining choir. But my dang stage fright prevented me from pursuing any farther. I had been asked to try out for our special singing group but I knew solos came with that so I didn't.

I remember playing with my Jem dolls and wanting to be a fashion designer. I would try and draw new outfits for them. This is laughable today because I hate much of todays fashion. But if I had done it then who knows what would be out there, right?! biggrin

In high school I had also considered being a business lawyer. When I first started my business class I was intrigued. Later on I didn't do so well and that kinda fizzled out.

As a kid I always loved horses, I wanted to own one, and be a rider,breeder, shoe maker, you name it. I had all kinds of plastic horses, bridles, saddles...
I still to this day would love to have one, or be a part of owning one.
But I don't live near that many horse ranches, and it's big money to do that!

My step-daughter loves horses too. She was trying to get a job working at a ranch. Personally I don't know if she could keep it up.

Great topic Woo!!!  As a kid I wanted to be Superman because he could fly through the air all by himself......I really wanted to be able to fly.  Then when I was around 10, I wanted to be a fireman, putting out fires and rushing into burning buildings to help people get out seemed like a really good idea.  At 13 I wanted to be a rock star.....they get to travel and make lots of money.  Then in high school I gave serious consideration to being a social worker.....I wanted to help abused kids......for some unknown reason I never pursued that, and I keep thinking that maybe I should be doing that now.

Oh I forgot that I wanted to do something with pictures. Had considered photography and getting into graphics. I think I shied away from photography because my vision just kept getting worse.

For a profession, I used to go around saying I wanted to be a coroner, because I loved the show "Quincy"!!

LOL Darlene!

I wanted to be a veterinarian for the longest time. Then in 8th grade I had to do a project on researching my future career, and I decided I didn't want to be in school that long, and that I didn't want to study some of the other subjects that went along with it.

Then in high school, I wanted to be a graphic designer.

Now I'm a graphic designer and I want to be something else. I'd like to be a teacher, but I'll probably pass that up.

Since the 3rd grade, I wanted to be a news journalist and an author. I so loved reading and truly loved writing. I used to enter writing competitions every time there was an opportunity, and i often placed well. Some were funny - I loved using shock value in what I wrote to take my audience on an emotional rollercoaster. {{lol}}

To me, writing continues to be an outpouring of my own essence. It is an expression of what's deep within me and allows me to share my vision, emotions, and more. Though I lost the verve for journalism, I continue to write purely for my own pleasure. biggrin

Hey G, maybe we could team up on the Weird Newz sometime. I rewrite every article that I read, and I'd be more than happy to give you a crack at writing it.

I wanted to be a truck driver like my pappy. My brother was the computer book nerd growing up and he was the one that ended up being a truck driver and I became the geek. hmm

Since we probably don't have enough time to get one done for tomorrow, how about next week's? Keep an eye out for any weird articles you come across.

OK, is that the criteria? An article that seems weird or strange?

That's pretty much it. Funny is good too, but I usually go for the weirder, the better. Pictures or video are good too.

wanted to be a lwayer until my senior year and legal workshop internship- can't do that for a living and lose and go home and feel okay- family law. Want to help abused women- was one and feel I can relate and give real advice, but for now I need more money. One day I hope to work at a shelter, but right now I gotta raise kids and have insurance.

 LOL!  How about Tuesday?  I usually aim for 3-4 minutes, so it can be several stories.  And even though I usually rewrite the articles, I usually give the source credit on air and link to the original article.

I wanted to a rider, trainer, breeder, too. Still love horses. It's Derby weekend. Also, wanted to be an artist or something in the medical field. My college majors were medical technology, interior design and accounting which is what I finally majored in.
