the quarterly magazine of ILTA 31 Peer to Peer SmART mOvES RElEASE yOUR InnER IlTAn AT FIVE … i wanted to be a nurse. then someone told me i'd have to do cadaver work, and that was the end of that! then i wanted to help the teachers teach computer class, so i taught myself Wordstar and then taught the teachers. in the '80s, i was working at Pacific Gas&Electric law Department. Wang came along, and i lovED those huge disks you had to swap in and out depending on the task. NOW … since 1985, i have worked in legal in many capacities. i changed my degree several times, took a detour in the health and wellness field for a while, which satisfied my "inner "nurse." but recently, i came back to legal and technology. i'm busy working on "greening" the tech department, a university online training program, and recently the executive director has asked me to create a mini corporate wellness program. nirvana at 42! Who says you can't have it all? cindy Paiva application specialist Miller brown & Dannis AT FIVE … I wanted to be a fireman! My dad worked for the U.S. Forest Service, so I spent a lot of time around fire trucks and with other fire fighters. NOW … I'd love to be able to put my wine on your table. I haven't found anything that I enjoy as much as making wine and sharing a glass or two with friends and family. steven R. Mccue chief information officer Keker & van nest llP AT FIVE … My fifth birthday had a western theme, because I wanted to be a singing cowboy. My favorite gift at the party was a Lone Ranger play set, including a mask, holster, and silver cap pistols. NOW … One of these days my lottery pool will hit The Big One, and I will buy a really nice Stetson hat, learn to ride a horse, and become a singing cowboy. tony hartsfield senior analyst - learning systems bryan cave, llP AT FIVE … as far back as i can remember, i wanted to be a heart or brain surgeon. i changed my mind in 10th grade the first time i had to dissect a frog! NOW … today, i enjoy studying about the brain and how it works, especially how it relates to learning. i'm totally hooked. My dream would be the ability to freely float in the creative process from writing to painting to throwing pottery to teaching others what i know and inspiring their own creativity. to just wake up and decide at that moment what i want to do during the day and do it. heather Morrow senior learning coordinator loeb & loeb llP AT FIVE … I wanted to be a cop. A police officer came to my school and got me hooked! I spent many years diving behind cars, rolling around on the ground, and catching bad guys — all make-believe, of course. A piece of my childhood dreams really did come true. I got to work for several years for a police department handling gang data and writing databases to track all of that data while hanging out with real cops. NOW … If I had the chance to do anything I wanted today, I would definitely spend my life drag racing. Not the "John Force" type of drag racing – heck, that's just driving. What I want to do is design, build and drive cars. Ahhh, the smell of nitromethane in the morning is a glorious thing.
