Many of us here on this forum are high school and college students... what does everyone want to be "when you grow up"? How are you going about achieving this dream? What did you want to be when you were a child? If you are already "all grown up", what ARE you? Did your childhood dreams come true?
I have wanted to be many things since I was a little kid --doctor, artist, interior decorator, model, teacher, web designer, actress, singer-- but only one dream career has stuck fast since an early age: an author. So, to work toward that dream, I have made sure to write prolifically (about everything), have my writing read (and critiqued) by as many people as possible, try to get published occassionally, and I'm pursuing classes that will require me to write (even if it is not fiction, which is what I would LIKE to write--any practice counts!)
How about you?
