[We all know that there are numerous factors, people, things in our lives that hold us back; whether they be associated with ones environment, heritage, family or background. Yet, though the road to getting there may be strewn with hinderances such as difficulty and disappointment, what are your aspirations, your hopes and dreams and goals for yourself?

These dreams could be career-related, have to do with education or family, traveling or experiences you hope to have during this lifetime. 3nodding ]

[I hated school growing up, but I always wanted to be on the other side of things. I felt that school as I knew it was boring and tedious, unnecessary and overwhelming. But I always wanted to find a way to make education not so dull. I wanted to take the teacher's place and make kids understand that school CAN be tolerated enough to get through it in most cases, and an education is key in this day and age.

I'm still working on it. smile

But whether I have my "grand master plan" worked out or not, I want to go to school to become a teacher. 3nodding I'm not getting any younger, and had I started college right out of highschool, I'd have graduated already....but despite the many setbacks I endure, (some of them caused by me), I'm still passionate about going, and to me, that's what matters. 3nodding

Right now, I plan to become financially stable so I can go to school in the fall. Some of the people I know who are younger than me have more debt than I do, with no intentions of paying those debts off. While mine are still managable, I want to get rid of them and start living the adult life I've wanted for years~! surprised ]

Ah... When I was little I always wanted to be a doctor (Who didn't?) but I really do still kind of... but not so much... 8 years of school... Then paying back all the loans... Ha...

I want to be a Social Worker kind of... gives kids a chance, you know? I was adopted myself, and I feel I need to do somethng to give back...
Then I see things that just shakes me and I am tired of not being able to do anything about it...

[Doctor..social worker...you sound like you really want to help people. wink I have that same desire to want to help kids; they are the future afterall. 3nodding And I see so many of them (especially in the projects) who just need some guidance and a good role model.

I hear you about being tired of not being able to do anything to change some of the bad things happening around me...but this is when you really should take a deep breath and recite the "serenity prayer." Always puts things into perspective for me when I feel that too many things are beyond my control... 3nodding ]

I always wanted to sing. That's all I've ever really wanted. Now that I'm (my age), I find myself less and less optimistic about my chances.

I can't imagine what I'd be doing instead. Dancing? sweatdrop

Right now, my goal and aspiration are:

- Always be a good wife worthy of my wonderful husband.
- Become fluent in French and, hopefully, someday Spanish.
- Become an awesome illustrator, with a bad-a** online gallery.
- Never have children.
- Have beach-front property.
- Start a great new career (I'm in the middle of a career change).
- Get back in touch with one of my sister's that's MIA.

Amen to that one! I don't want them... they annoy me. They need too much... and I see the little bad ones way too much... not that I would raise kids to be bad... just extra hassle. sweatdrop

[Despite all the wants and needs, life issues and possibility of behavioral problems, etc...I still think a child is worth the "hassle." 3nodding I don't have any kids, but I do want at least one biological child. I dunno if that is going to be possible...it seems like the ones who want to bare children the most are sometimes the least fertile. xp ninja But we'll see...afterall, what did I suffer through puberty for?? Every physical change a female goes through is congruent with motherhood. 3nodding ]
