What did you want to be when you grew up?

005
When I was little, probably about elementary school age, I wanted to be a teacher.  I know it's a cliche' but I do believe my teachers inspired me.  I looked up to them.  It seems so silly but so innocently sweet now to look back on it. I remember holding "class" in my bedroom, where my bed were the desks, I would cram my coloring books full of school papers like the teachers had when they would return from making copies for the class.  I think in my heart I still hold that want in my heart, however the real world is never as easy as play.  I still may teach once I get my nursing degree, we shall see.  I find it fascinating that the ideals we hold as children can be with us through adult hood, and hold our heartstrings so tightly.
