As a kid what was your answer to “what do you want to be when you grow up”

[Rynalia]

Whatever my folks told me to aspire to be.

I never had my own dreams.

 

[Apathy79]

Astronaut was my answer from about 5-12, but I don't think I really knew.

 

[psp3000]

magician and artist

 

[locked*n*loaded]

Ha. A test pilot for new plane designs. That never happened.

I wanted to be a gymnast or an Ice skating professional ut where i live theres no ice and no close gymnastic class so.

Later on be a actress but I have stage fright.

I hope later in life i can do gymnastics but not for competing or maybe karate.

 

[patheticparasite]

I always said I wanted to be a computer freak. Unsurprisingly, that's exactly what I've become – not the bread-winning kind, no – the cellar-dwelling, pale-skinned, socially awkward kind.

At least I got what I wanted.

 

[SpinandPainr]

Changed about yearly, growing up autistic. One year it was paleontology, another egyptology, another virology, another meteorology.

I love your answer! Sad that you couldn't do it though. I used to be a competitive gymnast, I loved that sport so much, it was definitely something that kept me living, I miss it dearly.

Yes sadly, I got really depressed after because it was such a big part of my life for so long to see it end was heartbreaking.

I don't remember having to answer that question in school, but I was asked from my parents. My answer was always "vet" to help animals and open a veterinary (there were a lot of sick dogs out in the streets, and I was an animal lover)

 

[Grog]

Whenever I was asked this question, I always said "I don't know." I didn't dream of doing work.

 

[gojidoge]

An astronaut, SWAT, or some sort of special forces

 

[suacide]

When I was really little, it was a singer. Then when I grew up, mortician.

 

[ashendreams]
