Something new for a Friday. Well…this concept is not really new as people have been making lists for thousands of years. I really shouldn’t think I’m super innovative for posting this blog! So…here we go. Every Friday I’m going to toss out a topic. Sometimes it will be silly, sometimes it will be funky, sometimes it will be serious. Who knows where THE LIST will go… Then I will give you my top 5 answers to the topic. YOU will then be invited to share your top 5. Sound fun? Yeah…I thought it sounded fun, too!
THE LIST of 5:
In Stress Point we discussed at length our careers and our dream jobs. How did you answer this question when you were a kid:
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Here’s my LIST of 5…
~An Astronaut. Don’t ask me why, I’m afraid of heights and I think a a bit claustrophobic! Maybe I thought the spacesuit was cute??
~A child psychologist. I was bound and determine to help out those kids who felt left out and not in the “cool club.”
~An author…hmmm….Isn’t God so fun?!
~A business woman. I didn’t exactly know what that entailed nor what kind of business I wanted into but I think I fell in love with the idea of wearing power suits everyday. And now I know power suits are super fun to wear only if I don’t have to put on panty hose…good thing that went out of style a decade ago!
~Anyone in charge of anything. I was just plain bossy back then. Wait now that I think about it, I’m still pretty bossy! ha!
Ok YOUR TURN! What’s your LIST of 5??
Leave a comment!
I wanted to be:
1. A teacher
2. A secretary…my best friend’s sister was a few years older and that’s what she did and I wanted to be like her.
3. World traveler. :) I’ve been able to do some world traveling!
4. Writer/author
5. Counselor, I like to help people. Plus, who reads the “Birth Order” book in high school and loves it!? I’ve read it two more times since. :) I like to figure out why people respond to certain situations differently.
Becky…girl you inspire me. Hugs!
Let’s see if I can even remember 5 things unwanted to be…
1. Singer – This was and always my dream. I still feel that pang when I go to a Christian worship concert or hear an awesome singer. I wanna be up there.
2. Actress – Gotta flare for the dramatic a mile wide.
3. FBI Agent – You can thank The X Files for that one! LOL!
4. Counselor – To help those who had gone through painful experiences like I had.
5. Director of Christian Education – A bonafide youth leader in the Lutheran church, helping youth grow I their faith and helping parents do that.
What do I do now? I’m a DCE who sings in our Praise Team, has an after school drama club, and helps youth who need advice on faith and life. I also get to lead women through my blog. No crime solving, unless you count figuring out what that stain is on the youth room carpet ;).
Girl you crack me up. Hugs!
I wanted to be:
1) a fire truck – no not a firefighter, my mom says I wanted to be the actual truck! Lol the imagination of a kid right?!
2) a professional basketball player – yep, I was the athletic girl in school and when the WNBA came around it got me excited because I wouldn’t have to leave my family and friends and go overseas! A couple of knee injuries hampered that though and being sidelined brought me to #3
3) a basketball coach – having to sit out while I was hurt in high school led me to think, hmm, maybe I’d be a better coach than a player
4) a research scientist/doctor – sports was my thing, but I was really a “quiet” nerd Lol
5) a teacher – my mom would always tell me I should be a teacher because I had a natural ability to explain things and help others. My thoughts, “Me? Teacher? No!” But I would keep it in mind.
So, what do I do now? I work for a state health department as an Evaluator, hoping to move up to the ranks or Epidemiologist (studied science lol nerd!). I also help out my old high school coach as an assistant. And about that me being a teacher thing, well my next stop is to become a college professor!
Meg! Awesome. And dang! Being a fire truck would be super fun, right?! Thanks for your fun list!
When I was a kid, I wanted to be:
1. The pink power ranger – She could kick some major booty!
2. A teacher – Knowledge is power.
3. A pediatrician – Love kids.
4. A forensic scientist – Looking at DNA under the microscope is bliss!
5. Anyone that had super powers and could fly. – Maybe I still want to be this?! :)
Dude, I TOTALLY wish I had super powers, too! Love your list!
I wanted to be:
1. A Ballerina – I always thought that Ballet dancers where like princesses
2. An Astronaut – I was and am still amazed about the universe, one of my favorite activities until now is star gazing
3. A Volleyball player – there is this one cartoon i loved to watch when I was a kid, she was pretty, smart and an amazing volleyball player
4. A doctor – so I can heal all the sick people
5. An Environmentalist – back then I didn’t know that word, but I was a “save-the-world” type of kid or I was just plain weird. I guess I watched too much “Captain Planet”
Love your #5. Too cute!
Well sorry to say! But I had one thing that i wanted to be when i Grew up and that was a Marine Biologist. I LOVE dolphins and whales and jsut wanted to interact with them.. But unfortunelty that didnt happen.. I still wish i lived near an aquarium or sea world or something so i could work there!!
So cute, Meg.
I have thought about what I *wanted* to be when I was little in a long time. Let’s see…
( 1 ) Librarian – Because I love books and organization. It would’ve been a win-win situation for me!
( 2 ) Paleontologist – As a kiddo I loved to talk about dinosaurs, draw their guts (still have those old disgusting drawings actually) and dig in the dirt all day long every chance I got. I was the kiddo who dreaming about unearthing the next T-Rex or making some new dino discovery.
( 3 ) Archaeologist/Tomb Raider – I wanted nothing more than to be JUST like Indiana Jones & Lara Croft. I loved old things and traveling and digging…and kinda still do.
( 4 ) Writer/Author – I wanted to pen delicious thought-filled words just like Josephine March in Little Women and John Boy in The Walton’s when I grew up.
( 5 ) Musician – I wanted to play the keys and sing my heart out and admittedly I still kinda do!
Yeah, I had pretty lofty ‘n’ geeky ambitions as a kiddo! Now I work in a bookstore (atm) and have started penning my first *actual* novel. =)
Wait…what?? You drew dino guts? Girl. You crack me up. Too cute!
I wanted to be
1. Dolphin Trainer
2. Firefighter
3. Gym Teacher
4. Professional Basketball Player
5. Softball Coach
The dolphin thing is a trend here. Alot of us dreamed of playing with marine life. I guess it’s because they are do darn cute?? Great list!
My top 5 were:
1) an olympican-gymnast
2) child psychologist
3) professional ballerina
4) CEO of a company
5) actress
Love “CEO of a company.” I love a girl with dreams of being in charge…I’m the same way!
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
1. Veterinarian
2. Professional Gymnast
3. Professional Ice Skater
4. An Architect – I do have a degree in Interior Design :)
5. Teacher
So fun! I love the “professional ice skater…” Cause who doesn’t love the outfits, right?!
