I knew when I was 10 years old that I wanted to sell houses (proof that I was not a normal child) At age 11, I delivered newsletters, note pads, fly swatters, etc. for a local real estate agent to about 300 homes in my neighborhood. He paid me 2 cents per house! He and his wife each drove Cadillac Fleetwoods, and more than life itself I wanted a Cadillac. At age 18, 3 weeks out of high school, I took the exam and got my license. Made my first sale in 30 days. And 35 years later I am still loving it.
for most of my childhood I guess I wanted to be a mommy and that was all. by the time I hit high school I knew I wanted to go into some sort of food preparation, either as a home ec. teacher, or a dietitian. I ended up majoring in foods and nutrition but got married before I even used my training to make a career. Instead I used my learned skills and hobbies to be a wife and mom. That was 59 years ago.
I wanted to be a farmer since I was living on a farm. I also liked archaeology and thought that it would be great finding ancient objects. I also loved to lie out in the fields at night and gaze at the stars, I was a dreamer.
Part 2 - Then when I was a teenager I wanted to be a groupie and follow Stephen Stills all over the world. Only problem was I wasn't daring or slutty enough (There but for the grace of God go I ).
Watching a lot of westerns when I was really young made me want to be a dance hall girl. They were the ones who had the pretty dresses and lots of male attention.
As I got older I realized they were actually prostitutes, so that was the end of that dream.
Later I planned to be a veterinarian, but never buckled down once I got old enough to get side tracked by pretty dresses and male attention.

Stills is one of my favorites. He's on tour with Judy Collins.
when i was 5 years old I was telling people I was going to write books. apparently I taught myself to read by the time i was 4. i told my first grade teacher i was going to write books, and instead of saying "that's nice" or "good for you" or "get good grades and go to college" she said without missing a beat "send me a copy, I want to read it." And i did. She was retired by then and I was 34 years old and living on the other side of the country.
