Hello everybody
Imagine that you are a young person in a good life without obligations, in good health what will you choose as job or activity ?
When I was young I would have liked to be reporter or hostess.
And you ?

It's better to use the past conditional I would have liked to be or simply I wanted to be as we're talking about our "broken dreams" (), so about the past. And "I would like to" concerns most the future.
Sorry for correcting this so late, but I didn't get the real purpose of the topic first (even if I also said something about it). Thanks to all for understanding.

Hello lethidee,
I wanted to become a doctor. I studied science for that. I wanted above all to help in any way and thought I was strong enough to bear death.
But when I was about 16, something happened in my life and made me change my mind. Then I decided to go on learning languages.
Today, I do translations. And those who need me more are .... doctors.
See, my studies have been useful in the end, inspite of what I'd been told by my maths teacher when he knew I "veered off" in another direction.

Hello everybody,
When I was a young boy, I was actually interested in science and biology. I built telescopes so that I observed the Moon, Mars, Venus, Saturn's rings etc. I made tons of models of space rockets: Saturn V, Apollo, LEM (Lunar Exploration Module), etc. I built aquariums. I fished some spawns in ponds so that I had a mass of tadpoles and frogs... I observed their metamorphosis. I liked poetry so that I wrote a lot of poems.
Today, I'm always interested in sciences! Every day I look at life through the microscope, ophtlamoscope, otoscope and sthetoscope... and my prescriptions are all sorts of poems!
Have a nice week.

Hello Lethidee,
When I was young, I dreamed
... I became... an accoutant and now, my childhood's dream is still in my mind and in my heart. I love doing my garden, having a walk in the garden centre, going to the parks, reading magazines specialized in the gardens and plants.
There was my dream....

Hello everybody
I think that we need, all of us, to dream.
It's also a strenght to stay alive, aware and to get the desire of discovering another persons or activities...
Let us to dream together for (why not) a virtual world like this site, for example, where people may exchange their ideas, speak about their minds and thoughts with a lot a pleasure.
I would have liked to be a reporter when I was young but I don't regret to have not made this job when I see and hear all the difficulties of this job around the world.
After all, I have been lucky and I travelled a lot in many different countries and I would like to have always this chance to meet others peoples and understand how is their way of life and share a little bit time with us. But the life is so short and we have so many things to do before to be very old.
see you

I would have liked to be on the stage: I remember how I enjoyed writing short plays for my brothers and my sister.
I was happy to make my father laugh and forget his sorrows. I was happy to take them with me in an imaginary world. I was someone else and I felt free.

When I was young, I dreamed of being a pilot but when I was 18, I decided to be a teacher because I love children and studying.

Hello everybody,
When I was a little girl, I wanted to be an explorer. I was madly attracted by everything strange and foreign and desperatly wanted to leave for a remote country, travel through jungle and discover new regions or hidden civilizations. But this dream quickly burnt to ashes the day I discovered that all the planet had already been wholy explored and cartographied.
Presently, after many messy and bad experiences, I finally found what I really liked : networks administration (I'm already taking the necessary courses). It's far away from my original project but everyone changes while growing up.

When I was young, I would have liked to be an astronomer. I really believed that this dream could one day come true until the age of 17 when I was at upper sixth level. Indeed, I wasn't really good neither at maths nor at physics which are necessary to be good at in order to become an astronomer. So, I was obliged to walk on an another direction, that's why I'm studying biochemistry now. But astronomy still remains my passion but my dream is now spending a night in an observatory with astronomers to watch stars, planets, etc...during a whole night!

Hello M83
I remember that with some friends, we were been staying all around a table in the garden, a night summer with the sky above our heads and during a few hours we have been comtemplating this wonderful scene and we were in osmose with the nature. We forgot that we were human but we were in the stars, travelling in the sky and so lights.
It was a great moment of summer and friendship.

hello everybody
thank you lethidee for this great topic
when I was younger I wanted to become a journalist: to write either in women press or in sports' magazines, which are quite different I know, but so interesting!
or it would also have been so great to become a reporter: going all around the world, hunting the smaller news. And then of course, report it on TV!
that was my dream

Hi, I'm new on this site. Hello everybody.Well, when I was a kid I wanted to be a florist. Why? Not because I was interested in gardening, that came later in fact, but because I thought that flowers simply brought happiness to people and I found that very beautyfull...when I think about it now it sounds a little naïve but it's sort of pleasant anyway.
Since, I have not become a florist, I'm in a para-medical sector. And I'm glad about it.
See you...

Hi nanny
I remember of a show whose the choreagrapher was Marie Chouinard (she is from Quebec and I had been the chance to see it in the theater of my town) on the theme of the 24 préludes of Chopin. I have been very impressed.

Hello Lethidee!
I hesitate between two jobs : a chartered accountant and interpreter.
I like the languages and I like mathematics too. So, I don't know about the job that I am going to do.
I am thinking.
It isn't easy at all to choose a job.
I ask myself what can I do to choose a job which will suit me perfectly.
