I will go first.

1. I used to want to be an astronaut, a dancer, a singer, and a detective. Most of my childhood dreams were based on movies or t.v. shows.

2. I pursued singing in the choir and participating on the drill team after making tryouts in high school. My singing and dancing never excelled further than that, except when I volunteered to sing in a church choir and wrote song lyrics for a church about a decade and a half later, when I was about 30. My detective dream morphed into my loving to do research now, both for psychology and criminal justice. Although I had graduated over two decades ago from the police reserve academy and later joined the military, I knew that patrolling was not something I would be good at back when I was in shape. But I discovered my other talents in office work and later in research. My wanting to be an astronaut was a pipe dream, but I enjoy looking up at the stars at night. My dream today is to become a researcher for the government or for non-profit organizations. It is as close to detective work as I can get. I only like to sing and dance in private, but I do enjoy listening to music and watching dancers.
