I wanted to be a Nurse and I became an RN.
Both of my Grandfather's were MD's, two Uncle MD's and my Aunt an RN.
I couldn't have gone any other way. Destiny.

P.S. My Dad was the Black Sheep. LOL

That one is easy, an architect. I love designing and building things have since I was a kid. Was offered an architectural apprenticeship my freshman year in High School by my English Teacher's boyfriend (one of the few times I was ever a teacher's pet). Unfortunately, I was unable to take advantage of it as we moved to Maine the end of that school year. Though I actually have designed two kitchen remodels including one for a home in a historical district in Maine that were actually built. Really cool. So what do I do now, I am a IT Business Systems Analyst working at an architectural/engineering design firm. :-)

A math teacher....but my Aunt introduced me to a CPA and she led me to accounting, thus I wanted to become a CPA....And 6 months after passing the CPA exam..... I transferred into the computer department where, oddly enough, my accounting knowledge is highly needed and appreciated.

Actually all I ever really wanted to be was a Wife and Mother. My grandmother used to say it like it was a bad thing, and I have worked outside the home most of my adult life, but I always told my bosses that this was my job and my family was my career.

I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys-R-Us kid . . .

My bologna has a first name, it's OSCAR, my bologna has a second name, it's MAYER . . .

It's not easy being green . . .

Where was I? Oh yeah, I never want to grow up - my wife says I am childish, but I prefer to think of myself as child-like.

You be the judge

When I was a kid Kendra and I always wanted to be teachers. For a while I had a passion for accounting, and now I absolutely love being a housekeeper part time and a mommy. Down the road I could see going into accounting or teaching...... or both.

I wanted to be Librarian!!
Cos from the time I could read, I fell in luff with books.

Can't you just see me with my half moon specs and my demure clothing.....NOT!

So I became a business owner, where I can be as funky as I like!((and I like))

My parents have a picture of me when I was about 3. They had given me a chalkboard for christmas or a birthday, and I was teaching my dolls. I have worked in a hospital lab, Sears boy's department and in two banks. I think I've always excelled at the jobs I've done; however, now I know that my first love has always been as a teacher. I'm good at it. Once I gave up being bossy, I learned more from the kids than vice-versa. I now do what I love.
