When I was really young, I wanted to make sugar free pop tarts so that my mom would let me eat them for breakfast. Then, I wanted to write comic books. In middle school and early high school, I thought I was going to become an engineer because I was advanced in math and loved CAD. In later high school, I decided I wanted to be a famous actor. Then I went to college, remembered that I love creative writing, and decided I'd be an author. Finally, after getting a job as a writing tutor, I realized that I wanted to be a teacher.

When I was young I wanted to be a game designer/developer. It was my ideal career until I was about 13-14 then I decided I wanted to do some sort of marketing. Or something that had to do with maybe taxes or stocks. But near the end of my jr year I wanted to be a flooring installer. And a tile installer. And take over my dad’s business that has been my goal and still is. I now plan on taking an entrepreneur course at spscc to follow and finish my goal.

When I was little something that I wanted to do was that I wanted to become a scientist, I thought that it was the coolest thing in the world, there was also a time when I wanted to be a teacher and this is still something that I circle around occasionally, I have always really liked the idea of helping other people and one of the best ways to do that is to teach people things they don't already know. As of right now that all I know I wanna do is help people. Thats always stayed the same

I wanted to study aliens because of X-Files when I was really young, and leading up to kindergarten I wanted to be a myremecologist to study ants because I was obsessed with them. Then I decided I wanted to be a marine biologist, up until high school where I interned for a heritage museum, and discovered linguistics and anthropology which I now want to study for.

When I was a little lad I really wanted to be a firefighter and a cop I wanted to be a super cop that could do and the law jobs. Then when I was 12-14 I wanted to be an under water welder, everyone was telling me how much money I would make so I was dead set on being one, now Idk what I want to be I kinda feel lost at the moment, but all I want to do is make everyone around me proud of what I'm doing.

When I was in kindergarten, I wanted to become a teacher, artist, and dancer. But then in 2nd grade when I was asked that question by a teacher, I drew a pickle with arms and legs because my family always told me that I liked pickles so much I was going to turn into one. In hindsight, I had a pretty good sense of self even in kindergarten because I did become an artist and teacher who loves to dance.

When I was young I wanted to work at a vet , to help animals and make them feel better.When I was in middle school I really wanted to be a firefighter , I found it insanely cool people would go into burning houses to help rescue others. Freshman year I took a welding class and shortly after became obsessed , It was unlike anything ive done and I really enjoyed it.

When I was a little kid I always wanted to be a vet. I never had pets growing up but my friends always had pets and I always just loved animals. It started to switch when I was 12-14. I wanted to be a baker that was until I got my cat Zelda. She got sick and I helped her recover and then I knew then that I still had the passion and still want to become a vet and that's what I'm working towards.

9 year old Susie wanted to play for the Rams...because I loved their uniforms and I thought they only worked on Sundays. Later I fell in love with camp work because it kept me away from home and I got to stay in a cabin in the woods while playing games with kids.

My high school counselor said I was not college material, so I decided to go. There I learned how teaching English was my pathway to hearing teens stories and helping them navigate those years.
