Childhood Dreams

When I was younger I didn't have that many goals as a young child. But when I was about 4 - 5 years old I wanted to be many things such as: tap dancer/ballerina, teacher, doctor, and princess. My mom enrolled me in a ton of classes to help me choose what things I like and dislike such as tap dance class, art class, piano, & swimming. I also hoped to own a parrot and a monkey, however at 4 years old I ended up having 2 zebra birds and a brother. When I saw Randy Pausch's last lecture it made me motivated to achieve the dreams that I have now, which are more realistic than the ones I had back then. My favorite piece of advice of his was that there are brick walls put up for a reason.
