Sentiment: POSITIVE
I thought I wanted to be a brain surgeon until I realized all the schooling it required. I didn't like school very much so I had to come up with something else.
I wanted to be a brain surgeon, but I had a bad habit of dropping things.
You can teach somebody how to be a brain surgeon, but you cannot teach them how to walk on a stage and make people laugh.
Young kids are doing the same thing I did, but they're doing it differently. They don't do brain surgery the way they used to do it either.
I wanted to be a surgeon, possibly influenced by the qualities of our family doctor who cared for our childhood ailments.
For as long as I can really remember, I wanted to be a doctor.
I come from a family of doctors and engineers, and everyone expected me to take up a similar career. That was the most natural thing to do!

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.
I was going to go to school to become a neurological surgeon.
