When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was 5 years old I wanted to be a author,a ballerina or a vet.

I always wanted to be a writer as soon as I learned to read 📚 I knew I wanted to be a writer.

I was learning ballet and tap dancing 🕺and wanted to be a ballerina although I wasn’t a talented dancer.

I wanted to be a vet because I loved 😍 animals,  particularly dogs but the thought of hurting animals, operating on animals or putting them down sickened me and terrified me. I saw the movie Benji when I was young and cried all the way home, it was then I realised that I could never be a vet.

I did become a writer though so at least that stayed with me from childhood
