  I intended to join the Air Force after High School then go to College then enter politics and become President of the United States.

  I became a Witness at 15 so my goals changed to Pioneer then Gilead School then go as high in the organization as you could go without being anointed.

  Now that I have come to my senses and I have left the Watchtower I have had some College I am active in politics and while I most likely won't become President my sights are on a seat in Congress.

  Once in Congress maybe I can become the Vice-President to a sick old man in the White House. It worked for Harry Truman.

  I wanted to be Peter North, but had to settle for being a paper pusher. Life's not fair.

  I never gave it a thought, I knew armageddon was comming before I was grown. When I reached 18, I just wanted to get married and have sex. Now I just want to be for a few more years.

  As a young person I wanted to be a high school teacher. I'm not sure why because I failed nearly every class in grade school. Somehow I got my act togehter and did okay in high school, but jumped into the crazy cult instead of going to college in 1965. I worked in all kinds of jobs until I started to question the Tower. Not long after that I took a few college classes when I was 38. While in college I found out I'm dyslexic, and worked to deal with it while finishing college.
  
  I didn't become a high school teacher -- I went to the dark side and work at a college.

  For a long time I just wanted to be a "wordly" normal teenager, instead of mom to my siblings. Then when I figured out there was NO way I was going to be a submissive JW, muchless be forced to marry young to some dweeb. I always wanted to be a nurse. Until 2 years ago I've been an ER nurse in Dallas. Kinda went off the deep end and lost my license. BUT- I do get to request it back in 3 months, after a year of clean time.

  I just hated seeing all those ggoooddd drugs being put down the sink!!! yeh, right!!

  Over the past 5 years I have been able to intervene in a couple cases that resulted in very quick action by the hospital to get a temporary court order that allowed life-saving blood. Those elders had those papers in their hands before they ever knew what hit them. Both instances police were there to make sure no one could take them out.

  I will say that intervening both times was great!!
