When I was five years old I wanted to be a vet. I would pick up any stray puppy I could get my hands on and bring it home (I thought of my mum as my assistant nurse whose job entailed cleaning the puppy, feeding them and get them ready for my cuddles). Although I continued helping all the pups in my neighbourhood the thought of blood and all the gory stuff deterred me from pursuing this noble (and profitable) path!

When I was about eight or nine (that's a while back in history) I think I wanted to be an astronaut too. I used to watch a show about the cosmos on TV and I was obsessed with the thought of being in outer space (with hindsight it was a bit of a stretch seeing I don't get the maths at all).

When I was about sixteen I wanted to be a lawyer like Ally McBeal. Yes, it is embarrassing but I thought it is good to be honest here among friends.

Now I am xx years old and as it turned out, I am a lawyer (nothing like Ally McBeal but happy soul nonetheless) I wish I stuck to the age five option ;)

PS - To all those who said they wanted to be a Lawyer and didn't take that path (trust me, you didn't miss much) ;)
