hello teamates, i've got a question, what was your dream job as a kid, and what do you do now? 

this should be fun, hehe 😬 lemme go first.. so, as a kid, I wanted to become a nurse.. thennnn, I watched the Ben Carson movie, "gifted hands" and was like, oh that's cool, I wanna be a neurosurgeon too lol, my 12 y/o self cackling at me right now. anyways, now I'm an entrepreneur, and maybe sometime in the future, I'll become a CBT therapist *fingers crossed*

around the same age when I watched gifted hands, maybe a year prior, so maybe I was eleven, can't remember for sure, but I know I was really young.

When I was a kid I wanted to become a designer, photographer, forensic doctor and much more. Mostly I wanted to try out jobs where I can be creative.

Now I'm a florist for 5 years already. It's nice, I can be creative, but it's not the right thing yet. So I'm thinking about to switch my job next year, but I absolutely don't know what kind of job I shall do next.

@chyni I always wanted to play in the WNBA, I started playing ball in 4th grade and played in college. I had a scholarship offer to a 4 year school and my parents told me I had to leave school and get a job because they didn't want to help me out anymore. My dream was crushed.
