When you were young.....

When I was about 5, out shopping with my mother, a neighbour we bumped into asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. Apparently, I beamed up at her, and said: "I want to be an alcoholic, so I can hang out with my dad." Proud as punch with myself, while my mortified mother dragged me away.

Out from that, I had notions of being an artist. Four failed attempts at art college later, I work as a chef. Funny how life turns out, eh?!

I never really wanted to be anything, and I still don't.

I wanted to be a nurse in the Air Force in Germany. Then I wanted to be a nurse in general. I wanted to be a Early Childhood Teacher, special education teacher then a graphic designer. Now Im going to school for graphic design. I love it

For as long as I remembered, I wanted to be a vet. I applied twice and got rejected both times cos I only got AABC in my A-levels. I've done over 70 weeks of work experience in surgeries, on farms, in kennels etc. (I took a gap year between rejections). So now I'm studying English Language and Linguistics at university (in my second year) aiming to teach English to speakers of other languages. And I work on a farm in the holidays with sheep and cattle. Yeah, English is a bit different, but if I did anything science-y it would remind me every day that I didn't get in to vet medicine and I'd probably be even more depressed :(

Apparently, before I wanted to be a vet I wanted to be a professional trombone player. I don't remember this though. And I never ended up playing trombone :P
