As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be "a mad scientist" just mixing up chemicals and making shit explode. Still sounds pretty good actually

A policeman

throughout my childhood i went through stages wanting to do loads of different things
I've wanted to be a teacher since I was about 8 though - I used to put loads of posters and stuff on my bedroom walls and waste paper on registers and making report cards/exercise books while pretending I had a proper class
my brother who was studying computing at college also made me a website where I took the register - it was so fun when I think back omg
then it got even funnier when I asked my parents for whiteboards and stationary stuff for birthdays etc instead of toys/consoles/laptops
after that, when I was 10/11 ish my mum bought my a playmobil school and I loved it to bits
then I saved up my pocket money and bought the police sets because I went through a stage where I wanted to be a policeman too

but now I'm definitely wanting to be a teacher or social worker - just something involving kids!
