Childhood Vs Adult dream

[Mr_twoface]

Firstly, what about you @princesspd?

I wanted to become an astronaut but just before getting into uni I saw Sweden’s first astronaut to travel to NASA space center and he was in his 40’s. He said on national tv that he studied for like 20 some odd years to get where he is today and at that point I was still young and tired of studies.

Scrapped that dream and went on a roller coaster of finding my call. Today I work as an administrative assistant (title wise, not fancy at all) but I work for the government offices and have been stationed twice overseas! For the next three years I’ll be in Sweden but thereafter can’t wait to be stationed overseas again. Love my job and I’m so happy where my choices and decisions has taken me 😃

I wanted to be an astronaut. I grew up idolizing guys like John Glenn and Neil Armstrong. I was serious about it too,. I joined Air Force ROTC with the intention of becoming a pilot and eventually an astronaut.. I could not pass the eye test.
I ended up going into IT ad a Network engineer.
