I always had a dream of becoming an actress or an author. The adults in my life would call them "pipe dreams". Imagination always got me in trouble and people didn't take me too seriously, add to the fact I had blonde hair and the title "ditsy blonde" could be heard in teasing.
As an adult I married, raised my children and settled into careers that were respected, finally becoming a computer technician and owning my own computer business, selling and repairing computers. People took me seriously and gave me respect for my knowledge of computers.
