Purplesofa...... I think you became what you wanted. An Artist.
Landscaping is an art. It seem to me like all through your life you have always had an artistic view on things.

Thats nice to say Brooke, as I did not even realize you noticed me. I guess I felt invisible too.

From a very young age, I had figured out exactly what I wanted to do, and my entire childhood orbited around that. I wanted to be a circus artist, a world traveler and a writer. I performed my first juggling show when I was 10 in a local nursing home. I hit the road and traveled the continents with my juggling/magic show when I was 23. Did this until 9 years later the JWs put a lot of pressure on me to drop the magic act. By that time I had also developed a serious case of stage fright, which prevented me from performing the way I used to. As for the writing part, my first book will be released by the end of this summer. Life has not brought me too many gifts, but I have always fought for what I wanted to do and had to sacrifice a lot to get there. Am I happy? Very much so, but if I could do it over again, I might just get married, have some kids and lead a normal life.

too bad Sirona. I think you would have been a great teacher!
As for me.. well I wanted to be a beautician when I was in highschool. I knew that was the cheapest training one could get that was fast.. and not considered college, so I figured I could get past the dubs.. but my parents didn't have the money for that.. and mom wanted me to pioneer.. my heart never wanted to though.. so I never tried, but that is what she had me tell the school counselor so he would ease back on the push for college thing...
Now I'd love to be a grapic artist..
