The same as now.
When I was like 11, I started watching "The Crocodile Hunter" on tv. Everyday! I couldn't miss it, or life as I knew it was over. lol. I learned a lot from Steve and Terri Irwin, and decided I wanted to open a rescue ranch for animals. I still do. And when it finally happens, I will dedicate it to Steve. I was so upset when he died. I still can't watch his show without tearing up. =/ That may sound completely pathetic, but it's true.
I have also wanted to be a country singer. Still do. I love to sing! It relaxes me, and it's when I'm happiest. I chose Country music, because that's what I have grown up listening to. And I've noticed that, for the most part, the country artists all seem to get along and are happy for eachother when an award is won. =)
