What Did You Want To Be?

[UkrainianGirl]

What did you want to be when you grew up? And did you accomplish it? Why or why not?
Discuss.

As a little girl in Ukraine I spent a lot of time outside and was into science. I liked bugs, the idea of surgery, and things and wanted to be a doctor. I loved going to the doctor as a kid and was excited to ask what everything was and what it was used for. Needles were cool and I didn't mind shots. Today I am an instructor and accountant. Why? Because now I can't stand blood, needles, bugs, etc. Hospitals make me feel uneasy.

Now I am in the health field and work in an area (voluntarily) where the mortality rate is extremely high. I stand between life and death, with one foot in the living world and the other one in the hereafter.

It was WWF when it was actually exiting to watch and you had guys like Lesnar,Biker Undertaker,Prime Big Show,Masked Kane,Stone Cold and Rock making complete havoc.

I had a blast as a kid watching them,was bouncing off walls,couches,the celing.It was driving me so insane that at one point I was actually forbidden from watching it for a big period

Now WWE has turned to shit,makes me cringe every time I accidentaly come across one of their videos on youtube.

[Aldaris]

No, but as you can see, I was being quite a delusional kid sometimes. :laugh:

Yeah I mostly watched WWF. My brothers stopped watching WWE as well. Just wasn't the same anymore . I still like how each one made their enterance lol.

Up until I was around 7-8 years old I wanted to be a knight, lol. After that, I never really wanted to be sth (have a profession)... just to live somewhere in wilderness, grow my own food, and be overall completely self-sufficient, i.e. independent of money.

Yes I love sports, mainly American football now. But growing up I played basketball, baseball, and football. The only thing I play now is basketball during the summer with friends or some of the local kids at the park.

Do you like your job? Or does it make you sad seeing life and death so much? I just didn't expect you working in this field because... memories.... :(

I love my job. I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I read a blog a while ago where they call people like me "the gatekeepers". We open the gates when it is time to go.

It doesn't make me sad at all. Death is a beautiful thing which is part of life. There is no division between the two. It is all the same.

Death is a fascinating process. People are under an impression that people just fade away, when in reality death is a very active process. The body progressively starts shutting down, one system after the other, in a sequence. Just like the body of a new-born knows how to breathe, the body also knows how to die, in which sequence. It almost like a "death instinct". I cannot describe it any other way. It is like a built-in knowledge of what must happen and when.

What does make me sad is when people leave their loved ones alone (with gatekeepers like me) because death is not something they want in their homes.

Ok your answer is different then I thought. I expected the "death process" to bring back sad personal memories for you. But I also should have known better. You are a strong person and being a gatekeeper works well for you. Maybe even more so for you since you understand what is going on both physically and emotionally.

And yes the body knows how and when to go shut down. It's all programmed. It's a system all of it's own. And everyone has their way of responding or coping to a death.

And yeah that is saddening. They should pass knowing they aren't alone and are loved. Should make it easier on them passing as well.

Because I hated school and joined the USMC the day after 9/11, before I went to university. After I got out, to old, it's harder to be a fighter pilot than a surgeon the selection process is insane.

As soon as i realised that i hated working...which was at my first day of work :rolleyes:

But when i was a kid i always wanted to become an archeologist ( i dont know how its spelled in english).Thats what im doing most of the time on this forum i read the history subforum and sometimes i reply on albanian related topics

That makes me remember! When I was 10 I wanted to be an Egyptologist. I was fascinated by the Egyptian gods and goddesses. I went to the library every day after school to read about Egypt. I had them all memorised, who did what. I knew about the pyramids, the Sphinx, other sacred sites in Egypt. I knew the pharaohs. If it was about Egypt, I knew it! Don't ask me to remember half it today!

[calxpal]

I am not going to say on here not to trigger the naysayers and sexists but no I did not accomplish it because my family became to broke to afford University many years ago so I had to drop out. And so instead I was stuck working random minimum wage jobs and doing volunteer work and random online classes. I am back in school now many years later but it has been hard to keep the same motivation I used to have, not only considering that I don't like the area I live in or that my school is in at all and want to move out as soon as possible. I am honestly worried I am going to be less desirable when I graduate school at around 30 ish I am scared to get any older and most people I know have already graduated ahhh it makes me feel so fucking left behind and not only that I don't even have a partner :mad:.

So no in conclusion I am definitely not what I wanted to be but It's not 100% my fault. And sure I will say I did learn some valuable things and great skills from low wage jobs that school would not have taught me, but its hard a lot of people judge me as being behind and immature even though I've always done everything I could to be responsible and more mature than other more "privileged" people despite the fact I do not have all the material things people expect of me at this age.

I just want to be happy and do good in the world and be a good role model. I also want to be someone who discovers cool things and helps others. I also want to be loved as well very much so. I guess I have to try and be happy with myself in the end, but yeah it sucks I don't even have good looks to make up for some of my troubles I really wish I was good and unique looking.

I just wanna find the right path get the fucking naysayers out of my fucking way for good!!

Anyways I'm sorry if people on here are getting annoyed with these types of posts I'm making....I'm just stressed and frustrated. If I said something that made you feel bad I'm sorry.

I wanted to be an underwear model when I was a kid cause I thought it’s something cool to be.
But then I grew up and reevaluated my career decision and well … now I’m kinda the opposite of a model since I’m a fat coder

[Vessna]

For as long as I remember myself, I’ve always wanted to be a doctor. I played hospital with my siblings and now I play it in real life.

[Demirkazık]

I wanted to be a Soldier or a Judge, eventually I become an Architect inheriting my father's job.

[Tradra]

I honestly can't remember what I wanted to be as a kid, probably a million different things, scientist perhaps. As a teen though I wanted to become a luthier, but that never happened and today I'm just a useless leech on society because of my cursed genetics, but I've started luthier work as a hobby, maybe someday I can realize my dream and make it into an actual profession.

I wanted to become a vet. I was collecting all sort of articles from magazines, writing "medical prescriptions" and so on. I have not accomplished that dream for various reasons (including the financial situation of my family). I do regret a bit, that I have not followed that path, but oh well....
Later on, I was interested in drawing and graphics, but I was honestly completely talentless.

I'm from family of people who always used to trade, kept shops (father's side since 1830s), actually that's what I'm doing most of my life. I used to have some regular jobs, including office ones, but it was always not serious. Buy-sell-buy is my destiny and I do it quite well and someway always expected to do it. I remember in elementary school my classmate was like wtf when he asked me the question and I answered that I will probably keep some shop or something like this lol. Now it's fused with other spheres but it's still generally like this.

In school I was already reselling CDs with music, I visited flea markets with my mate to buy and resell some stuff, everything possible.

[Victor]

I don't think that everything in life should be "for fun". 90% of people work for money, not for fun. If a man can maintain the whole family with his income, it's way more natural for a female to be a housewife, working for her spouse and kids, not for some unknown people, seeing her kids few hours before sleep.

It’s not 1990s anymore, there are a lot more opportunities for women to make money aside from working 9-5. Not every woman wants to cook, clean and tend to husband and kids 24/7.

I'm aware of it, it's a matter of choice, I just tell how normally a family as part of society functions, if its purpose not having fun until the divorce when everyone had enough of fun or again to live together for some shared hedonistic purposes.

Anyway, for 80-90% of people Worldwide nothing changed since 90s, for you and me maybe, but globally nothing changed for majority of people. People work for money at regular jobs.

My mom was the first from her side to step to the path of trade, finishing the economical facultee. All of her ancestors were generally army men as well, there are such people at father's side, too, but main are two big branches of Moscow merchants, his ancestor came to Moscow from Ryazan region as free wealthy peasant and opened a shop here. My father used to sell all possible stuff during USSR before going into trade few years after the army, from gramophone records of foreign music to reprints of Mein Kampf. He lived next to park Sokolniki and as some 12-13 years old kid he started from exchanging the Soviet pins with foreigners who came to exhibitions for bubble gum, not to chew, but sell it, with these money he bought caviar from same exhibiton which was way more cheap than somewhere in trade and sold it to some woman he knew who worked in restaurant.

I've already mentioned, after army he started to work as butcher which bring a lot of money, parallely getting economical education so then he entered the Soviet trade, if you were there, it was already Communism for you and party members literally bowed to such people as a source of everything.

In middle of 2000s as a student I was reselling the Serbian ultras clothes, scarves, pins and other stuff, it was the moment when Spartak, CSKA and other fans brothered with Serbian groups so it was quite popular, also brands like Otadzbina. We wanted to open a small store next to Cherkizovskaya metro station (don't confuse with market) but then people with bigger money started selling this stuff as part of bigger shops like Podval at Barrikadnaya, where the stuff we provided before was sold aside military brands, like Alpha Industries.

[Zeno]

Since I can remember, the first thing I wanted to become was a doctor, because of my godmother who, as a doctor herself, helped us a lot.

Then, as I saw that I cannot handle blood and that I'm basically a hypochondriac, I focused on more theoretical stuff, aka law. But since, for a tiny margin, didn't get into law school, I'm now hoping, after my uni, to go either in public administration or in diplomacy.

I've heard this complain about archeology and money, unfortunately. But did you found working in that field exciting?

Right now I'm saving up money for a food truck instead, since cooking is one of my biggest passions.
Sounds cool, do you have certain foods in mind you wanna sell? Anyway, good luck!

[Melkiirs]

Brother, don't attack my allies. I'm warning you for the last time.

So you finished your sprats and returned from the woods to defend Vessna?


I'll go into the woods, I have a lot of money to eat sprats and all sorts of shit, just not to see you people.

Buy a metal detector and search for coins and other stuff, make up a collection, sell and exchange parts of it, expanding and getting some income, there are lots of people around me who have this hobby.

I can perfectly take care of myself without the help of Russians.

What is Vessna? I am for Palestine. I am against your misdeeds.

I'm a little confused too. Isn't she Russian herself?

Ask her, I feel like she separates herself from us, but that's none of my business and interest really. Something like superior Eastern Slav from USA. You know, like superior Balkanites from Canada or USA.

[Ugo]

Ahaha, the crows have flown away. Damn it, you can't handle me....I am for the Russians and for Palestine...the rest of the crows fly by.

All significant Belorussians are either Russians or Poles by self-identity. Belorussian is a peasant identity. You don't seem to be a peasant and I doubt you know the Belorussian language, this rural dialect.

I do separate myself from Russians because I am a Belarusian. Is this a reason enough? It has nothing to do with me living in the US. I’ve always felt this way, even when I lived in Belarus.

It`s not really the pay, but more the fact that it`s sadly a field that`s long been declining due to being underfunded, so getting a job there is basically a miracle.
But yes, it was really fulfilling and interesting work. I wouldnt want to trade that experience for anything else.


Sounds cool, do you have certain foods in mind you wanna sell? Anyway, good luck!

I aim for few and very basic, but high quality and completely self made. Meatloaf with potato salad by my grandmothers recipe, Bratwurst in self baked buns with two sauces to choose from (curry and champignon cream) and Goulash. I would want to add a weekly changing special meal. And thank you for your wishes!

This actually sounds like fun, but I`m afraid I have zero talent in selling anything I havent produced myself.

So, majevica got an extended answer on question I didn't have intention to investigate.

I am proud to be a peasant if that’s what you think of Belarusians. І я вольна размаўляю на беларускай мове.

Let them examine themselves. It doesn't matter...Mayavica is a traitor...it is interesting. How much shit should accumulate to betray.

I am not an Israel supporter myself. Dad is but he is also a Jewish Boomer, so predictably a bit closed minded and set in his ways. He is comfortable with Gazans being annihilated if absolutely necessary for Israel's interests, which sounds like Zionist chauvinism. I can't argue because he is too emotional with regards to the subject. I also have 3rd cousins living in Israel but have no clue as to their whereabouts.

I'm not sure what other particular misdeeds you are referring to.

Въ настоящее время простой народъ въ Бѣлоруссіи на вопросъ: кто ты? простолюдинъ отвѣчаетъ — русскій, а если онъ католикъ, то называетъ себя либо католикомъ, либо полякомъ; иногда свою родину назоветъ Литвой, а то и просто скажетъ, что онъ «тутэйшій» (tutejszy) — здѣшній.
— Е. Ѳ. Карскій. Бѣлоруссы.

I will point out that it's not about territory of modern Belorussia, but about its Western and partly central regions.

Let’s not spam this thread with irrelevant information. There is a Belarusian forum for this purpose.

Which dialect?(there is division within Belarusian, who would have guess)

Russian is a mother tongue for ~70% of Belorussia citizens. 23% of those who speak native dialects mainly exist on the Belorussian territory of pre 1939 Poland and some rural areas. Three Eastern regions were annexed to Belorussian Soviet republic in early 20s but were never properly Belorussized.

Ok, I quit derailing already derailed topic :>

It's the same in here. There are plenty of sites and probably a ton of stuff that can be discovered, but no one has the interest to fund archeological work to that level (on top of that, when they do some digging, some of the finds are being destroyed by the carelessness of the workers). I was under the impression that in Western Europe it's different.
But yeah, while it's very interesting work, only few can to live from this.

Sounds delicious, I think you'll have plenty of customers. And it's nice to use your granny's recipe.
I once prepared some food for a festival when I was in Czech Republic. It was free, but I was surprised that I gave it all away and people enjoyed it. It gave me a feeling of satisfaction. :)
Would you also add some self-made/ home-made beer? Alcohol usually sells well. :D

Yes, how does it contradict anything I said?
I just wanted to pinpoint this "dialect" is an umbrella term for spectrum of different dialects and same as for any Slavic language. There will always be differences within same language. And Belarusian even if almost dead is still a language in sense of spectrum of dialects sandwiched between south Russians, Ukrainians, Poles and Balts. And there are quite differences within dialects than just some slang words in the video I replied to you with before.

Going back to topic, I didn't really know who I wanna be.
I got hyped into one stuff and then after few weeks I totally changed plans.

The only one from childhood I remember was prisoner(because I presented this in school at Mother's Day), apparently I thought it was "cool" basing on stuff I watched on TV, what a naive child I was...

I yearned to be a detective or a spy since I thought that they were as cool as it gets. It was quite unrealistic, so I became a superhero instead.
