My dad was a criminal defense attorney and I wanted to follow in that profession, but finances in the 60s prevented me being able to do that. I now work for the highest court in my state, so I think if my dad were alive, he would still be quite proud.

As the child of a missionary for a sect-like denomination no matter what I did it was going to be tied in to the church. At one point when we were little children I wanted to be a missionary pilot and my brother wanted to be a missionary fireman. Things didn't quite turn out that way.

they never made it specific really... my grandfather obviously wanted us all a little bit taller because he measured me every time I went to his house... sad to admit but I stopped growing when he died, sort of.

My parents never encouraged me to do anything past graduating high school. Early on I got better grades then my two older siblings. I got in far less trouble and was generally considered to be "the good one." I think they forgot about me.

Straight.......just kidding. They just wanted me to go to college.

Given I almost died at birth, due to a purple face and a umbilical cord noose my own, I think they were too happy that I am alive to impose vocational objectives on me.

Responsible. Mission accomplished.

My parents never told me what they wanted to be when I grew up. I grew up from a poor family and all I wanted to do was to go as far as possible. It was really difficult balancing between work and studies. Thank God I achieved some measure of success.

Rich. And they didn't care whether I did that by getting a high-paying job like a lawyer or by marrying a rich man. I'm more of an artsy type and I haven't married a rich guy, so I didn't live up to their dreams for me. lol
