    What did you want to be when you grew up?

    At 12, I wanted to be a pro baseball player. My life was like the movie The Sandlot. I played little league and thought that was it, I'm going to play for the Boston Red Sox.

    At 16 I boxed in P.A.L. (police Athletic League) and went to a lot of golden gloves tourneys and was really good, if I say so myself. I broke my hand at 18 and my dream ok kicking Tyson's butt came to an end.

    I do miss those periods of my life when anything was possible. As a kid, what did you want to be when you grow up?

    I really loved my pediatrician Dr. Verano, and decided I wanted to be a pediatrician just like her, (until I found out how long you had to go to school). Later, I wanted to be an actress or a singer. Oddly enough, as a teacher, I'm a little bit of all of these things!

      Not to sound cliché, but I always wanted to be a movie director.

      But when I was young, the movie industry here consisted of one movie every three or four years, usually about the fascinating life of farmers.

      Things are picking up now, but it's a bit too late to go to school again.

        I wanted to be a US Air Force fighter pilot .... This was long before Top Gun and other movies of the kind came out.

              I always wanted to grow up to be a lobster.


              I don't ever recall wanting to be anything specific.

                I wanted to be like Tarzan and live in the jungle or at least run around with as little clothing as possible. A little older I changed my mind and wanted to be a comic book artist.

                  I wanted to be an Astronaut.

                  Thomas Stafford was from the town I lived in and he was a personal hero to me. He had flown Gemini Missions, commanded Apollo 10, was head of the Astronaut Corps, and served as Commander for the Apollo-Soyuz mission. After the Apollo-Soyuz mission, there was a hometown parade in his honor and I will never forget getting to see my hero riding on a float and waving at the crowd.

                    I am still pursuing the idea...


                    In the meantime, I am moonlighting as a computer techincian/wannabe rockstar.

                        I was allways going to be a pro golfer to the point where everything else did not exist between the ages of 6 and 16.

                        By the time i accepted i would never be good enough i was 19 and on the scrapheap.

                        Now i just go along day to day.

                        I guess very few people actually make it to where they wanted to be.

                              I was very specific. I was going to be a cop, who drove a Corvette, and tracked down Bigfoot in his spare time.
