1) I wanted to play second base for the Chicago Cubs. In fact, I still want to.

2) I wanted to be a mommy. Mission accomplished!

3) I wanted to be a police officer so I could arrest my brother. :)

4) Veterinarian, then librarian. And I planned never to move from my hometown. :)

5) I wanted to be a teacher, a nurse and a mommy, and well, I'm kinda' all three, but could live without the "nurse" part.

6) Pilot. Neither coordination nor eyesight was ever good enough anyway but I did learn to fly a glider once!

7) Play major league baseball

8) Movie director. That was shortly after I gave up wanting to be the guy who washed the gutters at McDonalds.

9) I wanted to be a princess. I definitely lived in fairy tale land!

10) I wanted to be a florist

11) Pilot. Made it as an avocation; the skies are safer that it was never my vocation.

12) I wanted to be a radio broadcaster. When I was in high school, I won a contest and got to have my own radio show for 15 minutes! That was my 15 minutes of fame, I guess!

13) An actress when I was little. In high school, I wanted to be a child psychologist. I majored in psychology, but now I am working in the magazine industry doing marketing and promotions stuff. Go figure.

14) Niki - I bet you love to talk to my eldest sister; she's getting her PhD in early childhood development (or something - i forget the actual title) - but is a lot of children psychology.

She has/works a lot with autistic children.

15) oh - I don't think I was a very ambitious child. All I can think of is when I grew up I didn't want to be fat (I blame that on my dad) and I never wanted to get divorced.

I wanted to be a happy adult. I wanted to be a wife of a very good man (who treated me like a princess -- troy, are you reading this?). I wanted to be a mother.

All the above still apply.

16) Shamu's trainer at Seaworld.

17) A vet. (and I wish I'd had better guidance in HS and college so I would have done it)

18) Dave, I remember that story about you wanting to be the guy who washed the parking lot at McDonalds! SO funny!

19) I wanted to be an ecologist.

20) This sounds nerdy, but I wanted to be an engineer (not the train kind). Always liked playing with Legos and drawing buildings.

I did full fill my ambition partially. Worked as home plan designer and roof truss designer (computer did the engineering part) for a year. More money in computers though and you work 8-5.

21) I wanted to design and engineer Transformers.

22) An actress. I was quite the drama queen.
