This is a list of my childhood dreams. These are the ones I remember, by the way. It is just so interesting what I wanted to be when I was young. Some of these persist as an alternative. After all, life can take unexpected twists and turns.
1. To become a drummer. That was my first dream ever. I entered a club when I was very young and saw a band playing. I just knew I wanted to be a drummer someday. My parents knew about this dream so well that when I started crying that night, they sent the drummer guy to calm me down. I have no memory of whatever happened to that dream.
2. To own a bicycle. I wanted one so badly back then. I never got it, and ironically, I never learned how to ride one. So I am sticking to my hope of owning a car someday. Hopefully that dream wouldn't be crushed. The closest thing to a bike that I owned was a scooter. And a scooter is NOT a bicycle.
3. To become a zoologist. While helping Jen review for her exam, we came across an animal-related lesson. It just flashed back. I really wanted to study animals for a living. I remember going to the school library to read a book on animals. I would read and read that same book. Funny how much I learned from that dusty thing. My favorite animal was the armadillo. I guess it still is.
4. To become an entomologist. This dream came with the animal-loving side of me. I wanted to focus on insects, for a reason I do not remember. In fact, this dream was so long ago that I forgot what they called somebody who "studies insects". I Googled it.
Well... I can not remember the others, but I promise to post them when I do. So... that's all for now. I shall resume writing my novel. I dream to have this published.
