Pouring my Heart Out on Steemit (because I will likely never see you in person) lol
<html>
<p>Remember when we were kids, we stared at the world with a great sense of wonder? We were not jaded and generally shared a huge sense of optimism. Adults always asked us,</p>
<blockquote>"What do you want to be when you grow up?"</blockquote>
<p>I want to be a doctor, I want to be a lawyer, I want to be the President of the United States. We had such dreams and&nbsp;we were ready to take them head on. I always wanted to be a zoologist. I was head of the science club in middle school and even ran a fundraiser so our class could buy an acres in the South American rainforest. I ran a campaign to repair our school garden with a koi pond. One day my teacher helped me arrange a herpetologist to come and speak at our science club. After his speech, I had a brief conversation with him and he told me if I ever&nbsp;wanted to own a house and have a wife and kids that I should forget about working with animals. That coupled with my parents telling me that they could never afford to pay for Texas A&amp;M University College of Veterinary Medicine so I should be more practical. That opened my mind up to doubt. I just thought it would be interesting to share s few photos from when my sibling and I were kids and us now.&nbsp;</p>

<p> Well, so of course my life hasn't turned out any way that I ever imagined. I'm not a zoologist or veterinarian. I don't like domestic animals nearly as much as I used to but I still hold nature in a high regard. I don't hug trees anymore. I never wanted a wife or kids but I adore my family more than can ever be described. With that being said, when life throws you lemons, you make lemonade, keep the seeds, and grow more lemon trees.

Great, great post.Now that I'm getting older I contemplate my past with my present. Life has a way of working things out, I feel the same way about my family as you. In short I joined the army, got stationed in Germany, married and German had kids and now live in the land of bratwurst and beer, I could have never planned that. Are you from Texas as well? Oh and following you.

US Army? I was 13F, what was your MOS? I do live in Texas, born in Louisiana, and i feel you on the Germany situation. I know many who stayed behind. I may have left my heart there in Nuremberg somewhere lol
