too funny Pirate Girl, growing up, I had a huge crush on Shaun Cassidy, but as you can see, I didn't marry him either. Oh well.

I still think about being an English teacher. My only problem is I want to teach elementary aged kids, but I love to teach Shakespeare. Can't exactly teach Hamlet to 3rd graders, lol.

All I ever wanted to do was join the Air Force and fly fighters.

My eyes betrayed me and gave me no chance.

Still searching for choice # 2.

I once read where someone wrote:
"You're never too old to be what you always wanted to be"

My son graduates from HS next month, and in my two year plan, I want to go back to school to study structural engineering. Not what I always wanted to be, but it's what interests me now.

I wanted to be a teacher. But since I was grossly misinformed by my school counselors in the early 1980s, that teachers didn't make any money (not true for teachers in Chicagoland I just found out) I became a graphic designer instead.
Which is a challenging and fun profession, but not at all stable. And money is not very good either. It is flexible cause I can freelance though and that is important for me.

Mine are on the table, rolled up in the corner, in a rack, oh yes, and some on the computer - waiting for me to review and perhaps print to add to the mess! HAH!
