What'd You Wanna Be When You Grew Up?

Hi Gary!

I always wanted to be a doctor but I enjoyed playing Monopoly with my friends.

Gosh Gary someone chastised you for being yourself...hummm. I like your personal conversational style. It's relaxing. So tell us Gary, do you have a lot of animals now?

I guess I was a bit different I never grew up thinking about a profession but more of a way of life. A nice piece of land to grow vegetables, some fruit trees and a nice flower garden. Have a few mountains to look at while on the porch and a nearby lake for a dip.

I suppose I can relate it my staging business now. I strive to make my clients feel less stressed about selling their home.

Buy the way I do have a small vegetable garden, a perennial and annual garden and the lake is about 1/2 mile from my home. Next home maybe the Mt. view if I'm lucky.

Oh yeah one more thing, I'm still working on that growing up thing.

I wanted to be a stunt woman.  I did some crazy stuff back then.  :)  The most fun I ever had though, was when I became an EMT.  I absolutely loved that job.  If I hadn't gotten hurt, I would still be doing that.  :)

Gary--I haven't decide yet because I am not yet a grown up!

Hi Gary, I love that song. One the most beautiful and always makesme cry.  Growing up I dreamed of being a singer/dancer... later a psychologist, but what was always most important to me was a white picket fence kind of life.

Growing up I wanted to be a professional dancer.  Now I love what I am doing but desire to do something to make a difference to solve poverty both locally and globally before I leave Earth. 

BTW-I know this is an open forum-but I don't think anyone should be critical of yout posts.   

Hey Gary - Not enough Real Estate Post????? Well, I come to your blog because it is something BESIDES just hard core real estate. Keep doing what you are doing! I love it!

Me - I wanted to be a teacher! People I know still see that in me. I'm the agent in the office that grabs all the newbies and says, "Come on with me I'm going to teach you to __________ !!!(put in the blank anything real estate)." I have scarficed my own time to help others learn the ropes and love every second of it!

Fabulous picture and absolutely love love love that alan jackson song, one of my favorites!

Hi Gary,

I grew up following my Grandpa, who was a Realtor around.  Believe it or not, it's what I wanted to do from a very young age.

An artist. I wrote a letter to that 'school' that advertises on tv about learning to draw and becoming a professional artist. I was probably in grade 2 so about 6 years old.

I got a letter back telling me to write when I was older...I was *very* disappointed. Crushed really.

Before that (before 6 years of age) I really wanted to be a cowgirl. After the crushing blow to my ego and dreams of being an artist I went on to wish to be a Solid Gold dancer, astronaut (short lived), Gold Medal Equestrian, Race Horse Trainer (did that!) and of course a designer.

I wanted to be a hair dresser because my mom said it's an easy job cutting hair all day.

Hi Gary... I wanted to be a pilot.  I was fixated on airplanes from an early age and even worked in the airline industry while in college.  I still think it would be exciting, but with the condition of the airline industry these days, real estate is looking like a better place to be! :) 

I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was a kid.  I had sketch books, my first fashion mag subscription when I was 9, created my own business cards and had my aunt teaching me to sew. 

That was until I was about 12, then I developed acne and started to dream about being a dermatologist because I was in my derm's office once a month for prescriptions and stuff.  Hey, they make good money! 

Then in HS I realized science was NOT my thing, I reverted back to fashion but being I didn't pursue any drawing classes during middle and HS school, I focused on business...and went to college for Fashion Buying & Merchandising.  I ended up on the Retail side of the court doing visual and management but burnt myself out after 14 years...and here I am...a Stager...  Somewhere along the way I wanted to be a teacher, too...and I'm still not shutting the door on that either!  LOL

Funny....I wanted to go to art school and be an artist! I dreamed of having a house with my own studio. I was such a free-spirit!
