Holy crap, I can't believe I forgot to put this in:
I loved reading Charlie Brown's Cyclopedia when I was a kid and I was so amazed to see Valentina Tereshkova and Sally Ride's photos and distinctions as the first women in space, and it only added to my obsession with stars and planets, and I thought that I really wanted to be an astronaut one day.
Also, I wanted to be an actress when I was a kid
I got this idea after seeing Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra, and our Grolier's Multimedia Encyclopedia which showed actresses like Theda Bara, Marlene Dietrich, etc. I thought that I'd be like them someday XD
Also, I wanted to be a beauty queen -- a Miss Universe, to be more specific.
In hindsight, wow, these things are way out of my league. XD
