I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid

I've been thinking about what I want to be "when I grow up" lately. I haven't really come to any conclusions, although working in a law school has confirmed for me that I do not want to be a lawyer, even if I was the top counselor in my sixth grade grammar court.

I never really wanted to be the typical things that little girls want to be - a teacher, a ballerina, a mommy (I didn't even like playing house, and my mom said when I danced as a three year old, I looked like a hawk, swooping down on its prey.)

I did go through several phases of other would-be careers, however. In late elementary school, I wanted to be an architect, because I liked looking at home plans. Then I realized that to be an architect, you a) need to be good at math, and b) need to be good at drawing. That dream was short-lived.

In junior high, I was convinced that God had called me to the mission field of Hollywood, where I would witness to all my fellow movie stars on a regular basis. I believe this dream was born out of a literal dream in which I shared the Gospel with Freddie Prinze, Jr.

In college, I was sure I would be First Lady one day. Other than a brief stint in 3rd grade, I never really aspired to the Oval Office. But, Hostess-in-Chief/national fashion icon - now that was something I could really get excited about. Unfortunately, once I actually met some aspiring politicians, I realized I probably could never tolerate being married to one. And since you have to be married to the President to be the First Lady, that one was out, too.

So, I've eliminated quite a few jobs from my list of possible life goals. But, I'm still searching for "the One". What did you want to be when you grew up? Are you doing anything like that now?
