That’s really interesting that you were a teacher @Happy_Heather. Very cool.
If you don’t mind me asking, what grade level did you teach?
Life is good for me but wish I could run. Meds make to hard.

I understand. My metabolism and health aren’t so great. Especially now that I smoke.
I used to be able to run really fast, and do lots of pull-ups, push-ups, and other various calisthenics.
My big dream is to quit smoking and take up ANY martial art. As long as the martial art I choose is practical and gets me in shape.

Very cool!
It sounds like you learned a good deal from these experiences.
It was difficult. It was in a Christian school. While I’m a Christian, I was a teen parent (15 yrs. old) and a high school drop-out. I earned my GED and had worked hard to get through college. When the principals found out that I had been a teen parent, though, they turned very nasty. It was a horrible experience, and it turned me off of teaching for good. Granted, I don’t think I could handle the stress of it nowadays even if I wanted to.

Would have loved to be a singer in a punk rock band but I could never learn guitar well enough and I can’t sing for shite! I had long hair for most of my early life…that would have been an interesting look!

I’ve always wanted to be in a punk band too!
That would be really fun.
I’m almost 40 now though. Maybe I’m too old to be in a rebellious counter-culture band. Haha!

Something where I could be an uncaring, egotistical, self-serving, sel-centered, as* hole 24 hours a day. .
Wait a minute, Trump has my job already.

I’d likely go back to being a music teacher. Since that was my passion. Possibly composing.

I think being a music teacher would be really fun.
You could even go into music therapy and help others (if that’s your thing).
I also want to go into teaching, but more so with teaching academic subjects or teaching a martial art.
Best wishes to you though on your dreams @Qwerty!

It was fun. I taught in Los Angeles in a small private music school of all ages. But had to stop when I became very unwell.
My ambition now is only to work again. I doubt I will ever teach again. I am back in England now my home land.
I think one day I would not mind delivering mail. It’s more private.

I wanted to be a dr and also a surgeon .
Maybe go part time and surgeon part time.
My mum wanted me to be a director because she thinks I would be great at it.
I wanted to work as a aged care worker because I have certificate three in aged care but my symptoms prevent me from it.
So I care for home ,man ,pets etc
I was thinking of volunteer working for meals on wheels but I am not ready for that yet.
And it would have to be doable cause I have difficulties .
I do things though n care of myself n home n neigher n man and his dogs and I assist my man .
There could of been other professions I may of been interested in but that’s what I remember now.

If I didn’t have Essential Tremors to go along with everything else, being a surgeon would be cool. Or better yet, I’d like to study chromosomes. I just can’t make it through med school with my hands shaking so bad.
