I wanted to be a minister and a missionary. I used to watch the faith healers on TV in the 50's and said "I want to make people better", meaning that I wanted to have a part in their healing. I had quite a sickly childhood and my mother convinced me that being a missionary wasn't possible. So later on, I wanted to be an actress and was involved in theater until I got married and became a wife and mom. I regret not becoming a minister but feel that, at the least, I'm helping to heal animals whenever I get the opportunity.
