Gryphon asked me what I do for a living. It got me thinking that maybe we needed a place to put what we wanted for ourselves. For when we either 'grow up' or grow bored of what we have become since we 'grew up'.
For me, I am not totally satisfied with myself and know that there is always room for improvement. I wanted to be many things when I was a kid. I wanted to be a beautician, teacher, computer wiz or a mother. Well, I sacrificed (for the greater good) everything to become a mother. As a young woman, I didn't realize the commitment my life's job was going to be. I am glad, being a mom, that I sacrificed my career. I know I couldn't have done both. I know many people who do, but I am not one who could.
So, the question becomes, what do you want to be when you 'grow up' or 'get bored'? And why?
----------------------------------------------
I'd rather be a COULD BE
If I could not be an ARE
For a COULD BE is a MAYBE
With a chance of reaching par
I'd rather be a HAS BEEN
Than a MIGHT HAVE BEEN by far
For a MIGHT HAVE BEEN has never been
But a HAS BEEN was once an ARE

At first I wanted to be a journalist, but the types I've been looking into don't sound like they get much creative leeway, unless I write for a magazine like National Geographic, or Cicada. Now I think I want to be a teacher-- english, preferably middle school, but I know teachers bump around a bit. [I had my science teacher move up from six to seventh with me.] I love english, love to read and write, and like kids. I'd love to teach it.
I used to change what I "wanted to be when I grow up" as often as I change avies. 
I like really little kids, but once they're older than 6, they're too much 
. I help out in the nursery at my church right now. I would like to be an author, but my stories aren't that good. I can start out pretty good, but then I just can't get back into the story. 
I want to set up a wildlife refuge, and take care of birds of prey and wolves. I have a strange fascination with those animals...
