<p>My D wanted to be a veternarian and an Olympic marathon runner when she was in middle school, both realistically within her realm of possibilities.</p>
<p>Due to some major health issues, she can still run but is not Olympic material. Now done with her freshman year of college, she has changed her mind to be a pediatric pulmonologist or a podiatrist, helping other sick kids or helping runners. </p>
<p>S, who turns 14 on Wednesday, has wanted to be a kindergarten bus driver forever. We have encouraged him to also become a mechanic so that he can fix the busses between routes.</p>
