One of the first people I wanted to be like desperately was Anne of Green Gables. If you've never seen these movies, you should run to your local video store or Netflix and order them immediately! Especially if you have girls.
My next beloved object of adoration was Nancy Drew. She was awesome. She was brave and smart, solved mysteries no one else could. She was a woman to be admired! And, I developed a love of mysteries from these books.
Then as I grew older, I fell in love with Jane Seymour as Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, a fabulous TV show. Something about her leaving the East coast and taking on the wild west...a female doctor was kind of unheard of at the time, and she tackles so many difficulties (and finds a hunky man). I LOVED this show. I wanted to be her.
In high school I changed my mind and decided I wanted to be a lawyer. My mom was graduating from law school at this point, and it seemed like such an admirable and justice cause.But, this didn't last too long.
I soon returned to my previous desire of being a doctor...and this has stuck with me very strongly. I really want to be a doctor.
And, I've always had a serious love of writing. As a child, a teenager, and even now. I passionately love writing.
But, the reality is that these days I am a tickle monster....
and a maid...
to my 11 year old inventor in the making...
and his little brother who wants to be a pokemon movie producer.
Now, my hubby on the other hand...he knew as a child he wanted to be a lawyer and never wavered from this determination. He graduated from law school a few years ago and achieved his dream. He loves this doormat...I think I'll get it for him for Father's Day. hehe
What did you want to be when you grew up? Did you change you mind or did you achieve it? What do your kids want to be? Run with this and share whatever you want!!
