When you were in grade school, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When you were in grade school, what did you want to be when you grew up?
MEGHAN MONTGOMERY, Fairborn: “I told my teachers in seventh grade that I wanted to be a bartender so I could help people, and they called my mom in for a conference. Now I’m an Air Force medic.”
TONI KEESLER, Camden: “I wanted to run a day care. Then I had my own children and thought, ‘What was I thinking?’ “
EMILY DANIELS, Dayton: “I can answer that, because I am in grade school. I want to be a zookeeper, because I like all types of animals.”
JEFF NOGOSEK, Washington Twp.: “A fireman. Or a police officer. Who didn’t?”
KATHERINE COTTRILL, Beavercreek: “I wanted to be a beautician and to do hair and makeup.”
DEBBIE MONTGOMERY, Weslaco, Texas: “I definitely didn’t want to be a teacher. I wanted to drive a fire truck. But now I’m a teacher, and I love it.”

I was the weird kid - I wanted to be a pharmacist. I now work as a collections agent, after a dozen years as an Executive Assistant.

I always wanted to be a nurse and that is what I am. I always wanted to help others I had a tall doll you could walk by holding her hand and one of her legs used to fall off all the time.I always pretended I was taking her to the doctor to have her leg fixed. I’m very proud to have accomplished this goal and now I’m going back to school to further my degree..

I wanted to be a newspaperman, and that is what I have done for nearly 40 years, all the way from linotypes to computers.

I wanted to grow up…but at the hand of Sister Mary Fornortener, wielding the dreaded Westcott metal edged ruler, I was not sure I would. I did grow up. I became a lawyer and represent clients abused & sexually molested by Catholic priests. I will be busy for years.

I wanted to be a teacher, but I’m a certified public accountant. I don’t even think I knew what a CPA was when I was a kid.

I always wanted to be a burglar. The opportunity never arose, however. So I went through life doing as little as possible for a living until I retired. Then I did even less. Shrug.
