When you were younger, what did you imagine about your career, family life and personal interests? How does your life compare to what you pictured?

I always wanted to have a minimum degree, I didn't just want to finish high school and be done with it. So thankfully, I did do more than just high school graduation. As for family life, I never thought that I'll get married (thankfully I am now). I am not really someone who visualize family life because I didn't come from a very role model like family. My personal interests include to visit waterfalls and I still have those interests. I like nature and hiking too.

Never dreamed I would drive a school bus, but I do and I love my job! Miss it so much!

All I ever wanted to be is a mom. Now I am a mom, grandmother and foster mother. I also have a college degree I got after turning 50. Something I thought I'd never get done.

I actually started my own dog rescue back in 2012.  Unfortunately, after 18 months, I just couldn't continue (lack of support - both financially and with helping me care for the dogs, etc., and losing my #2 when her cancer returned).  I'd love to be in the position to start my rescue again. Now to win the lottery or make friends with someone very wealthy...

I dreamed of many things... I wanted 12 kids with I was a 5 yr old, LOL, we are great with a blended family of 5 kids.
I also thought of being a lawyer, and recently at 30 I graduated witha degree in the legal field, but no idea where to start using it! Then the virus hit and things basically stopped, so thats on hold. Some times dreams can be in reach but still iuntouchable!

lol, I didn't/don't think i could picture much bc I couldn't see any way of doing it. And couldn't afford to turn anything down. But I still guess it was different than how things turned out.

Congrats on your degree!!! I am 46 and have some college and an associate's degree, but I am in a stagnant job right now, and am considering going to school online for medical transcriptioning. I am not sure what is holding me back....fear maybe? Any advice?

This is a short piece that I wrote about a lovely woman who,owns my local florist.  I thought her story would be an inspiring one.
