When you were young what did you imagine you’d be doing now or how you’d be living at this point?
I grew up in gas station. Our house was attached behind the station. I spent a lot of my time in a old garage where my Dad put all the extra parts, radios, etc. I would often set the garage up like a spaceship and blast off into outerspace for adventure. That’s what I wanted to do when I grew up. -an astronaut
I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

cool.. i always wanted to be a football player.. but i’m not even an active sportsman in school..
I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. What I DIDN’T want to do was marry a dairy farmer. I wanted to be a missionary and see the world. As a Lutheran, that wasn’t going to happen. The closest I was going to get to that pipe dream was to marry a missionary. God had other plans. He had me marry a soldier where I could see the world and still tell others about Jesus. After my husband died, I found another denomination that I truly thought I belonged in. Since then, I have been to the Dakota Reservations, the Thailand countryside, and the Mississippi Gulf. I am not a paid missionary, but I am a daily one. God’s plans are better than our plans any day of the week.
I wanted to be a baseball player but I couldn’t hit the curve!
@Kowpatty - Sounds like you’re living your dreams. What reservation did you go to? Mississippi gulf after Katrena?
I always wanted to be a teacher. As a child, I can remember lining up my stuffed animals and teaching them; the best behaved students I have ever had, but kind of slow. Yes, I did have my dream of teaching come true!
