Noah opens up this episode of Funnell’s Barbershop and then launches right into his memories of school growing up and what his dreams were at the time. Noah mentions that when he was growing up, the first career path that he remembers having a dream of doing was one in archeology or paleontology, but that this dream was shot down upon entering high school. From there, Tim elaborates on his own history and what he wanted to do growing up. As with many kids, Tim had dreams of being a professional athlete, his love of baseball driving him in that direction. But just like Noah, this dream changed as time went on and he got older. Austin follows up with his own childhood dreams, which he happened to have had in common with Tim. As always, each of the boys offers their own comments and quips while the others are saying their pieces.

After all the trio gives the own history of their dreams and how they felt growing up, the conversation goes off on a couple of different tangents, including personal skill sets, sticking to goals, changing degrees or career paths, and even going into education in general and the state of education today regarding high school, college, and tech/trade schools. The boys all give their own opinions on the various topics and discuss how their own experiences, both in and out of work and education, have led them to where they are now.

Childhood dreams of the future are something that everybody has growing up, and most people change those dreams and goals as they get older, adapting them to fit their changing self and worldview. It’s important to remember that no two people take the same road to get to where they want to be in life, and all of the struggles and challenges that you experience continue to shape you as you travel the path through life. No matter what route you take to get to where you are, remember that it’s your life and your path, don’t let anyone else get you down or tell you that you need to live life in a certain manner. Be yourself.
