We all had our own ambitions when we were young. Some of us dreamed of going to the moon, some of us even dreamed of inventing things you can only see in the movies. Some of us dreamed of being someone they idolized and some of us dreamed of the things their parents dreamed for them. Whether its being a doctor, fireman or a law enforcer, these ambitions are our first inspiration to be someone important.
But as I look back to my younger years, I realized that I had ambitions that are distinct from others. Even my parents once told me that my ambitions in life was something out of the ordinary. As far as both me and my parents remember these are the ambitions I had and the things that inspired me to become one of these
One of the very first ambitions i had was to be a Doctor and a Pastor at the same time. Growing up in a religious family, the concept of God was the main reason why I wanted to become a "PasDoc." And another thing that contributed to this ambition was numerous stories my parents used to tell me about Jesus healing the blind, Jesus healing the deaf, Jesus healing the people with leprosy and a lot more. At one point I did want to be like Jesus and just be the almighty healer of everyone; but that dream didn't last for very long. I hated the smell of the hospital, I was in and out of the hospital, and I fear needles.
We were Soldiers, Band of Brothers, Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, and Pearl Harbor. These are the movies I grew up watching and loving. And amongst all the gunshot, grenades and explosions I fell in love with the concept of war. In this love I found another ambition, to become a war soldier. I even bought myself an air soft gun just to feel the tenacity of war. I shot dogs, cats, birds, people (of course! but i don't let myself get caught). I loved shooting other things aside from myself. But again my dream of shooting other people didn't last very long, why? Because once you experience the feeling of being shot, all your love for shooting will vanish.
There came a time in my life when I had no idea what my mom and dad does for a living. Then there also came a time in my life when every peso we had was as important as our lives. Maybe because of poverty, or because of my dad's lack of education, my dad ended up as a taxi driver for 3 months and an FX driver for another 5 months. But when you're young anything you're dad does is cool in your eyesight. Although he kept on reminding me to finish my studies so that I won't follow his footsteps, there came a time in my life when my ambition in life was to be a driver just like my dad. I didn't care what kind of vehicle I get to drive, as long as I'm driving then I'm cool with it. But of course this dream didn't last for very long after realizing how little you can earn in driving.
My mom said I had a new ambition every two weeks, but these are the only things I can remember. My mom did mentioned that I dreamed of being an astronaut, pilot, fireman, policeman, lawyer, suicide bomber, and a librarian. But as for me, I can't remember why I dreamed of these things but all I can remember was I was really excited to become someone with a title. And up until now I still dream of me being a professional one day, whatever the field as long as I'm having fun with it. But as for now, my current ambition in life is to be a . . . .
