Can you tell what profession people will end up in now? Or, if you've already reached the aged ages of maturity, did people you knew as a kid end up like you expected them to? What did you want to be when you grew up? What DO you want to be when you grow up?

Okay, believe it or not, I am exactly what I said I would be. At eight or nine I said I was going to grow up to be a writer and/or a teacher. Today, at 19, I am both. Go figure.

What age counts as maturity?? When I was five, I said I wanted to be a doctor. Today, at 19, I am a medical student. A dangerously-close-to-flunking-out one, but a medical student nonetheless. Hmm.
