I wanted to be a boy haha. That was the extent of my dreaming back in the day.
I was always a little bit of a tomboy so my grandmother attempted to counter by dressing me in these hideous dresses and endlessly brushing my mile long hair (tangled hair is not for pretty girls!) up and buying me Barbie dolls and god knows what not. Now, I don't know how many of you tried, but running around playing soccer or riding bikes in a frilly-tooly-moster of a dress is not always easy and Barbie dolls are utterly boring, so I secretly really really really disliked my grandmother and kept asking my mom how can I become a boy.
Then I grew up, realized I'm mortified of surgeries and sex-changing won't be on my to-do list any time soon, and signed up for engineering.

When I was a child, I wanted to be a chemist lol. All too often my mom would walk in on me mixing random stuff I found in the closet to see what happened.

My dream was to get myself a lamborghini, all because my grade 2 teacher said it was impossible for me to achieve.

I was suppose to be the greatest pianist that ever existed. This was before I realized that I hated piano with a passion, lmao.

I had criminal inclinations as well. I was very interested in the Italian mob, particularly their racketeering, embezzlement and money laundering activities (ie non-violent). I thought that would be a pretty awesome career. Too bad I wasn't born into the right family.

I don't remember.. but now I just want to be Uber influential in the goings of society, hopefully not resulting in me becoming a self-important donkey.

Sometimes, it got so intense I would throw tantrums because I didn't get to be a boy. -.- feminists are going to hate me haha. When I was younger, I was obsessed with astronomy! It all started when my aunt was moving and she had a huuge book collection, so she gave most of her books to me. I got my first ever guide to planet Earth and beyond, and reading it made me quite fascinated with space. But like everyone else said, reality is a huge ass kicker, and I realized being an astronaut wasn't going to be part of my near future =( sniffles. I was also heavily interested in being a marine biologist at one time (seeing all those dolphin/underwater documentaries didn't help) but now I've just settled with working for the Environment. So hopefully I'll get the best of both worlds.

I had wanted to be a visionary politician like Mossadegh or Zulfikar Bhutto, otherwise I wanted to be a janitor because no one ever cleans anything properly... that changed when I realized that not everyone made the same $.

I had no particular ambition... I never was really decided.
I'm still not.
