If you were 12 years old again. Your goals for life would they be the same?

If you could go back in time and someone were to tell you what do you want to be when you grow up? Would your goals and aspirations be the same? For me it's a Yes. Although I will do things differently in hindsight to achieve that goal. So you could say I have some regrets so far in my life. Although I still believe that in the end or I hope that I will be able to reach my overall goal that I was aiming for (God willing).

So how about you? Would it be the same? How would you do things differently?

I would surely do better in school knowing what my future would be if I dont. But as for life goals, I dont have any. Being alive itself is more than enough for me, I dont need goals, If I have a goal I guess its just to live.

My goals would still be the same. I just would make sure to follow through on them.

When I was 12 I wanted to be an archaeologist, and move away from home as soon and as far away as possible and travel the world. I'd like myself to still have dreams at 12, so yes, I'd keep the same goals.

No, wouldn't even think of going to school to get a Master's degree or the career I plan on going into in a few years.

I never had goals for life other than just getting a job.

I don't even remember having long-term goals when I was 12.

I would still be hitting on 12 year old girls so nothing has changed.

I never had goals. I just went with the flow.SolidSnake35

I had a life long dream for a particular profession in the back of my mind when I was a kid. Now I get to live it. 

1. Take school more srsly.

2. Stop buying fvcking YuGiOh cards and use the money for games/consoles lol.

probably not.. a lot has changed

I think everyone had a "card phase" when they were young. I personally collected baseball cards and then Marvel cards.

I would do things a lot differently. I have learned so much more now, and I would live much more for God.

But, at least I can, through God, rightly shape my life as it is now. :)
God bless,

Maybe not at 12, but I would have went to college right after high school instead of being 30 and struggling to find work.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOl

Interestingly, they would be very similar. I would be a bit more concerned about getting rich, thoughghoklebutter

Did not know this.

nah, i was 12; i didn't know anything

I never had goals. I just went with the flow.SolidSnake35

If I was 12yo and knowing what I know now I would study harder so that I could enter a better college course then the one I have now and maybe then get a well paying job (wich is hard having in mind how much in deep sh1t is my country economicaly atm)

Well you see my 12 year old self was kind of a panzy ass so I'd do a lot of things differently.

If I were 12 again, I would immediately come out as transgender, so I could have gone through the right puberty for me.

I really wish I'd known at the time that ther was something I could have done.

Yeah I too had a "card phase". It was more of collecting batman, spiderman cards.

An oh yeah..I remember POGS. Who remembers POGS?? I used to have an obsession collecting them. :P

I had goals when I was 12?

they probably would've changed and i would've been on a different path

Overall yes I think they would be the same.

I'd make my 12-year-old self smoke a whole carton of cigarettes in one setting so I never pick the fvckers back up again. And I'd do it while screaming at myself because I know I was a dick at that age.

Other than that, I'd just tell myself to never marry a certain woman to whom I am no longer married to.

This. I had no goals at twelve and have no goals currently. Honestly I always thought the whole "plan your life before your twenty" trend that's been going around in the past decade or so is extremely naive. Hell I'm eighteen and I'm worldly enough to know life doesn't work that way. I think trying out different stuff is more important then that. That's why I'm not so crazy about college, it locks you into something you might not want to do especially when your young, but that's a whole other cup of coffee.

My goals when I was 12, get a good job, get married, have kids and live happily ever after.

My goals now, finish univerisity get a decent job, get nice house, live in house, grow old in house, die old and happy.

Well if I was 12 again I would be just as unwise of the future as I was the first time and would probably make all the same wrong decisions. Now if I ( the current me ) could go back knowing what I know now I would do a lot differently.

If you could go back in time and someone were to tell you what do you want to be when you grow up? Would your goals and aspirations be the same? For me it's a Yes. Although I will do things differently in hindsight to achieve that goal. So you could say I have some regrets so far in my life.

So how about you? Would it be the same? How would you do things differently?

i wouldnt have my goals at the age but buying more video games and less legos

When I was 12 I wanted to be part of SWAT. Now I'm a military pilot in training. I like where I am at though.

At 12 years old if you're worried about life goals are being pushed into that by your parents I consider it child abuse.

I would do better in school and try to learn more things.
