    I got good grades in every subject in school. It was so easy I couldn’t decide what to do with my life, so now I work a low paying retail job. I still don’t know what I want to do for the rest of my life and I’m 49.

    I saw a show asking kids what they wanted to be when they grew up. One kid answered that he wanted to be a vampire bat.

    My HS gf got top marks, got a liberal arts degree and best she could do was dental office receptionist. Me, not so great at what they taught. But I had a savvy Air Force recruiter who steered me into electronics. 7 years later I had a very well paying communications specialist job. What you want to be and what you should be aren’t always the same. You have to adjust and adapt.

    I wanted to be an astronaut, or a pilot (test pilot, even!), or an architect. I also had severe motion sickness, moderately claustrophobia, poor vision, and very poor depth percepttion.

    I became an electronics technician until I was disabled, and now I’m working on ARTIST.

    Sometimes the physical things interfere with what you want….

    Wow…This got really dark and depressing. We need Graci to bring us back to some semblance of hope.

    In an episode of the Steve Harvey show (Steve is a teacher and Cedric the Entertainer is the gym coach) they are talking in the school hallway between classes. Ced makes a disparaging comment about one of the students having a less-than-promising future and Steve says “Ced, you shouldn’t talk about him like that… why, he could grow up to President of the United States!”. A pause… then they both burst out laughing. Ced: “Thanks, Steve! I needed a good laugh this morning!”.
