When I Grow Up

What do I want to be when I grown up? I am sure I was asked this question a ton when I was a child, but I really don't remember the answers I provided. From my perspective now I guess I can think of a couple of things I might have said.
1-I imagine I would have often said I wanted to be a marine biologist (more specifically a trainer at Sea World). Our family use to make the short drive to Sea World Ohio about once a year. I loved watching the interaction the trainers had with the different animals. In fact I applied to go to college at University of Texas Galveston and was excited to do a semester at sea, but in the end landlocked BYU won out. To this day I still have a dream to swim with dolphins and see a manatee in the wild.
2-I might have said that I want to be an Olympic skier. My fabulous Aunt Amy spoiled me and took me skiing whenever we got the chance. She also got me some lessons with a great ski instructor. I loved to ski and really miss it these days! I even considered trying to do ski ballet since I probably would never be fast enough to race.
3-I am sure I occasionally told people that before a career I wanted to be a missionary. I remember I use to discuss at a young age with my best friend Jessiy where we would go when we were old enough. We had big dreams.
4-I am sure underneath everything I wanted to be a mom, but I don't know how often that was my only answer.
