| What did you want to be when you were a child? | Started by: BryanGandleton on Jul 11, '21 01:56 |

I remember growing up with a name like Justice; that I felt like I had to be a good kid. This was relatively true, I was a little boy after all so I did still get into shit. Long story short I wanted to be a cop, or a lawyer, maybe a judge. (Honorable Justice Justice). Funny story, D.a.r.e. started in grade six. An officer came in to talked about drugs and "Just Say No". Not sure if you remember (or experienced) it but the guy was full uniform, gun, taser, cuffs the whole shebang. I explicitly remember telling the cop, at eleven years old, that A) I'm colour blind(it came up), and B) I wanted to be a cop when I grew up.
"Well you can't Justice, your colour blind" he said and the conversation continued.
My dream was just shattered and the dude didn't even bat an eye... So ya, I never became a cop, or a lawyer, and definitely not a judge but I didn't go ape shit either. I try to still be a good person and all that shit. I did start smoking weed and had my first drink the following summer but I never truly went of the rails.
So that's what I wanted to be when I was a child. Things don't always go the way we think but that's just life, don't be embarrassed, I'm pretty sure my story is a decent ice breaker. |

When I was like 8 years old I wanted to be the best rapper in the world with the #1 singer girlfriend. Then I wanted to be President.
Then I wanted to be a fashion designer. |

Lol I definitely wanted to be a rapper, heck I still do. I write lyrics and love to record but I think it became more of an outlet than a means of income. Still enjoyable, I got to open for an artist that came to my city once and that was quite the experience. |

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be an artist. I never specified what kind. It started with painting, then drawing, then writing, and now I'm starting a business crocheting. That's the one that stuck with me and I feel the most productive with. It won't make enough to live off, but it's income coming in, when I get the orders, and it's doing something I love. |

when I was a child I guess I had the same dream about what to be as an adult as most children have. At first it was been a police officer or a fireman, but as I got older I found out that it was better form me to build things with my hands, so I ended up as a carpenter |

Very true, kids switch their dreams almost everyday but there's usually that one thing that really catches your eye. Now I'm looking into software engineer or computer sciences. Always loved computers so I think it'll be great |

I wanted to be an archeologist. I loved all things with treasure hunting and finding old treasures and know more about stuff. Or a ghost hunter. (Yes I believed in ghosts when I was younger) |

A professional boxer. I've always been a huge fan of the sport. My dad was a boxer and had all his trophies and belts around from amateurs. When I was younger my two favorites were Butterbean and Iron Mike! |

I wanted to be lots of different things when I was growing up, but one of the weirder things I wanted to be was a dustman. Don't ask me why. :S Lol |

I was bound and determined to become a vet assistant. Instead I have five cats and an amazing dog who leave fur all over my house and cause me to lose sleep when the owls hoot. |

As a child I had only one wish, to become a car mechanic. When I was 16 I became a car mechanic. After 1 year I didn't like it anymore :P Now I have been in a completely different discipline for years with a satisfied feeling. |
