Julie Seams To Be thinking about what did you want to be when you grew up?

 From a young age I just wanted to be anything professional. Particularly something that was a male dominated field. My stepfather told me I'd never be able to become a CPA, being a girl I'd never pass the test.  I laugh now that I wasn't able to continue an education to do so, because that life may have sucked for me.  After moving 3000 miles away from that awesome encouragement, I did end up working for a brokerage firm in Boston and going to college at night.  I'll never be sure that I wouldn't have ended up enjoying it. But life happens, getting pregnant etc.  I'm just thankful I developed so many different skills to make my way through life.  Gee, thanks dad, for nothing.
