What Were Your Childhood Dreams And Have You Lived Up To Them? by ortopazz(m): 8:12pm On Jan 08, 2013
Listening to a rhythm 97.radio programme,, kids were being interviewed and it came to this part, what do u want to be when u grow up? The four of them their answers,..
1. lawyer (defend my cun3ri)
2. doctor (help people)
3. soldier (defend the DIGNITY of my cun3ri, cudnt stop loling)
4. banker..... Cnt remember the reason


Then I remembered mine. A young Black boy with dreams of wanting to find the cure of Aids, nt until my Maths teacher made me h8 Maths so bad that i dropped without a 2nd thought, then I asked my brother, he blurted out 'banker' i cudnt stop laughing when I remembered that my bros and anything arithmetrics were enemies...

So people, what were those glorified childhood dreams of yours and how many actually made them happily ever after.

Culdnt wait to grow up and become a po.rnstar, now I do po.rn, just without the lights and cameras cool

Seriously though I wanted to become an astronut,the stars, planetry systems, alien civiliazations and space have always facinated me(by the way I do believe we are not alone in the universe). So I went and read engineering as a precusor to going to space. Now I go to VI everyday to my banking job(which is kinda like space considering the huge void it creates in my life). So until the astronut thing works out(and I'm now 31 by the way incase you hear of space faring vacancies), thank God for women! grin

i once dreamt of becoming a footballer, few years later it changed, then i started craving for music. It got to a point, i decided i wasn't going to pursue the latter anymore and decided i'ld rather focus on becoming an artist (Sketches, drawings, paintings, etc). A more matured me started loving finance, so i changed from pursuing a career in artistry to studying accounting After my university, i came to realise art is my thing so i learnt photography.

I have this feeling i'll crave for something else after photography.

I always wanted to be a telecommunications engineer. Always fascinated about how a device in Nigeria with communicate with another in France, I just wanted to know what's up.

Lost a year in the uni, pursued and pursued..... Wasn't so brilliant but very intelligent....fast forward to today. E don happened.

I have conquered in my very short career time, I can explain how this devices do connect, even in depts that are not mine. I am actually fully involved.

There was a time every call drop, no internet, poor service for one of the top operators in northern Nigeria on 3G was my issue to solve, in the same little time, i transfered my skills outside Nigeria to consult independently..... Boom! my childhood dream was a hit back to back....lol. If you believe and work at it putting God first, you can do it too.

Now my first son will surely have no choice than to follow this line, did I mention I got mine from my dad, so it must be passed on.

My dream is to become a medical doctor. My dream seems to be a reality during my days in school. I always top my class from primary to my ss3. When am through with secondary school, then money put a stop to that dream. Now, my dream is to get that money by fire by force so that my childrens dream will come true in future......
