So, onto another topic I suppose. I had three career goals when I was younger. Three thoughts on what my job would be when I became an adult.
Career #1 It might be hard to tell by looking at me now, but I really loved to design dresses. I thought for sure I would be a dress designer when I reached adulthood. I regularly sketched in homeroom and study hall. Which, in it's own rite, is amazing since I'm not a very good artist. Also amazing because I don't wear dresses much. But, I designed more wedding/prom/fancy dresses, and I've worn a few of those. I'm reminded of my designing because I'm watching project runway again.... oh the benefits of cable!
Career #2 I just love rocks. and fossils. and all things old. I thought I'd be a scientist/geologist/paleontologist. Corny as it sounds, I used to search for rocks all through recess when I was in grade school. Now before you put me in the nerd category - I did other stuff too. And, I think I was the only girl in our class who had a boyfriend. He was the cutest guy in our grade. So, there, that's what you get for thinking I was a nerd. Ha! Anyway, I loved to search for Cape May "diamonds" and was seriously coveting a rock tumbler. I did end up taking a geology class in college, and the professor was so impressed with me. When I missed a class field trip because of a car accident, I conducted my own field trip, and she praised it big time. Though we did have big issues regarding the ages of things, we got along just fine, and I loved it.
Career #3 Stockbroker, NYC. This is the one I thought I'd really do at the end of high school. Interesting, I think, because I am awful at math! I did, however, end up working in the financial arena.. and have an outstanding job offer to return if I chose to.
There you have it, 3 little known items about me. Do you feel like you know something new?
What were your goals??
WOW..I find all of these very shocking, haha. Just shocking in that I didn't know these things about you. And you are soo young you could still do whatever you want. I don't know about the scientist/paleontologist, that might be kind of hard, but certainly the others. As for me? I am somewhat of a dud, I just wanted to be a wife and mother. OH! and a school teacher. I remember hearing other girls talk about all their big dreams etc., a lawyer, a doctor even, or even a designer, and thinking to myself, their nuts, haha...
