But then when I was ten, I used to read horse novels so I wanted to become a jockey..get my licence at 16 or something and win Melbourne cup sometime when I was still young.

@kazdawg: I know yeah I was obsessed. I would read Ashleigh, Thoroughbred (which was a continuation of Ashleigh when she grows older and pursues her dream of being a jockey) Phantom stallion, Wild horse Island, pony pals, saddle club books, Black stallion, Black beauty..oh gosh so much.

And these are all series titles so imagine how much horse reading I got to. I wouldn't mind giving them a reread tbh.

LOL Max ended up everywhere- he was on Mclouds Daughters or whatever it was called, and just recently, I saw him on NCIS acting as a player Navy Officer with a really bad american accent that was meant to sound southern but ended up sounding bogan LOL

Hey did you guys read Babysitter Club books? I wanted to be Kirsty. I wanted to be a sporty tom boy.

Since year 9 I wanted to be a Hobo (not do any work, waste time the whole day, explore the country). But that dream was shattered as I realised I needed to stay alive, which meant food, which meant work.

But in those circumstances you still have to be "looking" for work. Plus we all need something to strive towards in life, so make that their work while others have family e.t.c. But as we have seen our aspirations changes as we grow older.

i wanted to become a tradie, specializing in bricklaying. i guess it was because i had too many barbies around and was sick of girly things. after building my first ikea cupboard though, i was like 'lol who am i kidding'.

also at one point, when i was obssessed with runescape, i wanted to grow up, live in world 16 and become a professional rune crafter.
