What were your childhood aspirations and dreams? Can you even remember, or were they even then perceived as something approaching unaccomplishable.

I wnated to be a scientist or engineer, although I was never sure in what discipline.

I was inspired by my Dad, a Chartered Electrical Engineer working in that field as a civil-servce scientist, and by an Uncle I did not see often (by geographical distance) but I knew worked in British Railway's R&D laboratories - though I don't know in what way.

Unfortunately Science and Engineering are both highly mathematical... and maths was my weakest academic subject.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

When I was 11..ish...I latched hold of wanting to find out where...people came from, on the inside.

I've followed that aspiration all my life.

Mostly just arts and crafts projects. Some of those I tried, some I gave up on, some only made sense in connection to a specific child play I had. I don't have kids and neither work as an art teacher so getting back to those doesn't make any sense to me now.

I didn't have big goals and dreams. I wanted to live in a loft above a garage/workshop. Make a living off of my skills and have bonfires and make big pots of stew. Rescue animal/insects and teach art to kids.

To survive and i did.

Honestly i just wanted to survive

My dream was to escape a drab world of grime and limited horizons for a world of glamour and adventure.

By the time I was 15 I knew I wanted to work in anything related to psychology

I wanted to become He-Man the most powerful man in the universe...
Then I wanted to become Robocop but neither of these things ever happened.

Be an astronaut. Looking back now it must've been a pie-in-the-sky dream too far. 🚀

Mine was to be a locomotive engineer.

I wanted to be empresses of a women's army of sword fighters and archers ☺

When I was kid I wanted to be a cop. Then I found out, you needed to be a good speller. I said to hell with that.

Now there's computers and cellphones that spell for you.
