ginnyde Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Rich. Oh and either a doctor or a dancer. Can't you all see the correlation here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Either a lion trainer, a writer or a chorus line dancer. Instead I became a wife (and have written some, about that ), a mother (similar to lion training ) and a golfer (some of the same moves as dancers make!)

gail p-m Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I wanted to become a teacher and would line up all of those "plastic" charms that I got from the charm machine and they were my class-- can't remember if you put in a penny or nickel for those. My favorite one was a little yellow dog named Dory. Currently, I'm a Grade 3 teacher. If only my "kids" behaved as well as the "plastic" charms. But I do enjoy what I do. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. By the way, I have 2 dogs too! gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 I always wanted to be a nurse. I just thought nurses were the neatest people. I had a great opportunity to go to nursing training, paid for my my aunt and uncle. My aunt was an RN and would have loved to see me follow in her footsteps. I was all enrolled in school at University of Tennessee. Back then, the class was taken on a field trip to a packing house in Knoxville as part of the "can you handle this" initiation. Well, I couldn't handle even hearing those poor cattle so I got a degree in business instead. Now, I really wish I was a nurse !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryanne Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I don't think you are weird, Ry. As I also read Edgar Cayce and wanted to be a psychic healer, which I did not have the gift for. But I did go to meditation classes for a long time. Went to NY and got a Mantra (back in the early 70's). So now I meditate daily with my Mantra and pray for healing of my friends here and in my life also. I also read all of Ruth Montgomerys books, which fasinated me as I was growing up.
