What did you want to be when you grew up? I always wanted to be either a meteorologist or an astronomer.

I'm a pretty good combination of my parents' characteristics, but have always lacked the focus to do anything ultra special in regards to a career.

It's a shame I have low aptitude in science and math because I love analyzing things - just more in a psychological way.

I wanted to be a teacher for most of my childhood. It just took me 25+ years to get there, as now I work part time supervising beginning graduate students in my field, as they amass clinical clock hours working in a university speech pathology clinic.

When I was 12-17 I was the best archer in My boy scout troop, not too bad, I'd
get into the red zone every time, and this was with no practice, I did get close
to the yellow zone in the center, I could have been a contender... Plus I'm
ambidextrous and I was self taught.

I wouldn't go that far, but I did watch more than a few Errol Flynn movies, yeah I know who He was...
