Childhood Dreams

When you were a kid what did you dream about? What did you want to be when you grew up?
This morning, for gawd knows what reason, I had this huge urge to watch Disney movies, and right now, as I watch still my favorite movie to date, The Lion King, there’s this huge rush of all my childhood memories. Childhood is a time when imagination is run rampant and where possibilities really soar. Some of these cherished memories of my younghood include me prancing about my room acting like a lion or some other form of hero, playing with toys that were – much to my mom’s dismay- strewn about the bedroom easy to be painfully stepped on, I also remember of what I wanted to be when I grew up. I remember I wanted to be a variety of things ranging from a detective, to a roller coaster engineer (that idea busted fairly quickly when I realized all the math I would have to take. Hehe), to a movie critic (c’mon, watching movies and then reviewing them as my job? HELLZ YEAH!) but slowly those ideas popped and turned into some more reasonable ones, ones that I knew I could achieve and would give some practicality to my life that the others didn’t. I remember that I was going to do all these amazing things and change so many lives, while that hasn’t happened yet, I guess those dreams still linger and I hope I can make them come true.
What did you imagine as a kid? What did your imagination/playtime consist of? Have your dreams changed since then? If yes, How so and Why do you think that is? What are they?

September 26, 2010Hehe well when I was a kid I was put into martial arts classes and whenever I saw a kids movies or any movie with crazy fighting action like ninja turtles, I would think of myself as somebody who fights to help people and then kinda hide somewhere(not the sewers though) – kinda like a vigilante.. I still dream of helping people but I would like to minus the fighting part just a little bit, I’ve kinda changed my way of helping people and that is not by fighting.. My dream right now while I’m still in high school is to become a sports doctor or become a trainer for some peeps or big sports teams. I think that I changed to wanting to become a doctor because through the years of being in martial arts – the first rule is to avoid the use of violence unless in the situation of self-defense. I still haven’t been in a real fight yet, so I say thats a good thing. My way of helping people is by being their doctor!! And to just be a total kid, I still want to be a ninja turtle or like wonder woman or something just for the day!! =D
