Blog #6 - Zoe

Not long ago I was talking with one of my friends about what we wanted to be when we were little, and I thought I'd  blog about that. Also, off topic but my brother is  watching Arthur.. and why is it when they wear headphones that they're not actually covering their ears? They're on the side of their heads? And what about Arthur's glasses? I don't know, I explained that kinda weird I think. Anyways! I went through my what I wanted to be so often. At one point I wanted to be an astronaut, but what child doesn't? I wanted to be a nanny, then a teacher (I went back to wanting to be a teacher a little over a year ago, but I discovered that I probably wouldn't be great at that), then a storm chaser! I went through this huge phase where I was obsessed with thunder storms and tornados. I still think it'd be really cool to do that. In around 3rd grade, I got really interested in the medical field and the surrounding areas. First I thought I wanted to be an eye doctor.. well eye surgeon. Kinda strange and weird, and I don't know where I got that idea, but I did. I was only in I thin I'm not squeamish, I swear I'm not. On those edhead games online, I would play the surgery games and look at those real-life surgery pictures. I was completely fine, I still am. Those don't freak me out, it's just eyes that kinda creep me out. Anyways, then I wanted to to be a doctor. I know that was influenced by my pediatrician when I was really little. When I got a little bit older, I got really into psychology. I wanted to be a children's psychologist, and then *ahem* a psychologist for the criminally insane. Before you're like "that's so weird!" um, well, I've always wanted to help people in ways that others typically shy away from. I wanted to do that for a while, and as I stated earlier, I wanted to be a teacher for a little while. Then, for a while, I just had no idea. And, okay, I'm actually shy to say this  but for probably over a year now, I've been set on becoming a mortician. I've heard people say "well that's kind of cool" to "oh my god that's gross, that's weird! you like hanging around dead people?" Um, no! As I said, I just want to help people.
