yeah, i was just joking actually. but what is RSA? Russian space agency?

Sorry missed the joke since a good chunk of the population really believes that we will not have a space program anymore. Since I do volunteer work for a space education non-profit, I get this type of stuff a LOT.

RSA is the Russian Space Agency. Technically, it's the Russian Federal Space Agency, but in the US we usually just call it RSA.

I've always wanted to be a doctor since day 1.




But seriously, I was fascinated by trains, and I wanted to be one of those guys (engineers) who worked in the locomotive.

Same lol! I was so lucky to live near Scranton, PA (Steamtown, USA 😎)

I wanted to be a chef and have my own restaurant...

And then I realized how much I hate to cook...😀 I love food but I don't have to be a chef, haha. But I still hope I will have my own restaurant someday.

When I was little, I didn't want to be a doctor. I think this is largely because when I was about three and wanted to own a restaurant, some grownup (who presumably knew my grandpa was a doctor?) told me that I was going to be a great doctor when I grew up. And, no, not in the vein of "If you become a doctor, you will be good at it" so much as "You WILL be a doctor" and that completely freaked me out for reasons I still can't explain. Go figure.

Anyway, from about the age of five on, I wanted to be a vet but by the end of middle school, I'd developed an allergy to cats so I reconsidered.

In high school, I went between wanting to be an engineer, a vet (assuming my cat allergy went away), a human doctor, something in international relations and, briefly, a teacher.

In college, I decided on medicine. There is a logical explanation for this, but mostly that's just how it fell into place.
