Today I went through a box of old stuff and found some little gems from the past :)
such as my Lisa Frank hummingbird journal. Remember when that was all the rage?
Here are some thoughts from an 8 year old girl . . .

Natalie

When I grow up I want to be a stay at home mom! My mom is a stay at home mom and my dad works. Almost everyone in my family is a girl except my brother and my dad and the girls want to be a stay at home mom. Our husbands would work. I would keep the house clean and I would take care of my children. I would read to my children every night too. If I had to work I would be an art teacher! I would work at the school as an art teacher. I would work for someone named Mrs. Fonk. Or I would be a mail lady! or a horse rider!

If I could be a vegetable I would be a carrot because carrots are my favorite vegetable. I would live in a frige with Alyssa and Linda. Linda would be an apple and Alyssa would be a onion. The people wouldn't eat us because they liked to keep us. The people names were Kathy and Hally.

This frosty morning as I was coming to school I was thinking how it would be to fly and as I was thinking I started to fly. A big unicorn came and said, "hello". The unicorn showed me the prettiest place. It was a waterfall covered with flowers. There was a stream and tall tress. Also other unicorns with a white body and pink glittery tails. The horns were shining yellow. We flew above the clouds and flew to a castle. We saw the king and queen. There was a lake with islands. Then I saw a purple tiny weeny elephant. It was carrying a blue gigantic mouse. I crossed the street and said "what planet are you from?" It pointed to the sky. I said "Can you take me there?" They nodded there head. I followed them to their space ship. I went there and lived happily ever after.

Definitely safe to say that I had quite the imagination! And sorry Amy that I read your journal 12 years ago. . . I remember feeling really guilty about that for a long time.
As far as the career, I can say I'm glad I chose not to be a mail lady, although who knows. . . maybe they make more money than an elementary school teacher. Becoming a horse rider? hmmm I would still say that's very possible.
