- When I was a little girl, I thought I'd be an archaeologist. I really wanted to study old stuff and learn about how people used to live.
- I used to think I'd be an accountant in a big firm or organization. I envisioned myself focusing on organizational change, human resources, responsible fiscal management, and in general, being very clever. Making lots of money was also part of that plan.
- I used to think that I would live and work and love in the North End of Winnipeg forever. I thought if I loved every hurting family, gang member, or prostitute that I met, their hearts would change. I think I cried for two years when I stopped working in the North End.
- Stay at home mom. There's a job I've always wanted! I've always pictured a clean house, a much less rigid schedule, some varied volunteer work...getting down on paper that book I've been writing in my head for the last 10 years...
- My most craziest, unlikely dream? I'd love to own a combination coffee shop/bookstore/bed & breakfast. It even has a name... "The Resting Place". I know this little town that could really use one of those...
I also polled my family about what they want to be when they grow up.
Sydney's response: I want to be famous. Don't ask me what's gonna make me famous, I'm only 10. I have lots of time to decide.
Owen's response: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (He's sleeping) But I know what he'd say: I want to be a skateboarder in a great rock band. (with Joey, Braden, and Ben... and Trev needs to learn keyboards!)
Brendan's response ( to the question "when you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?" : An Executive Director in a Residential Group Home. (good thing, I guess!)
