When she started reading the Trixie Belden mysteries, she started thinking of becoming a detective, and when she got into the Cherry Ann series, she was convinced that she would become a nurse. As a student in college, she decided to become a teacher of history, then set her sights on a career as a flight attendant only to realize that she hated flying.
