So, I guess I will have to settle on being

Happy with what I am

I always wanted to accomplish all my dreams, the dreams have changed a bit to suite reality a bit better,(was very dissapointed to find out I could not become a Dragon trainer).
I think I am still well on my way.

So you like the insurance biz,,,Matt....nice!



When I was a kid...and until about 15 years ago...I wanted to be a vet as well.
Harder schooling, pays way less..and in my older age...when animals bite..I don't think poor thing..I want to smack it..so that is out!

I am returning to school in a couple of years when the boys are a little older to pursue my degree in Creative Writing ....etc. I want to be a writer ( I have been compiling things for a book for well over a year).

I also want to teach teens how to use thier skills...as well, to unlock the nightmare it is, to be a teen.

I've wanted to be a lot of things. When I was younger I had a fascination with being a cashier, or an astronaut...when I got to middle school I wanted to be a teacher...in high school I wanted to be a psychiatrist...then I went to college to be a nurse...and Yeah...I still have absolutely NO idea, but if I could at least stick to a major so I could graduate I would be satisfied with whatever.
