Wow - what a thought provoking question this is! I wouldn't want to exactly exchange my life or who I am, but I have wondered what it would be like to be in a different role/skin and experience life from a different perspective. As I think about putting on a whole new pair of shoes for a different path, I have to say I haven't ever had the desire to be elected or be a performer or in any highly public role -- from where I stand right now, I like to be around and work with/among small groups of people and individuals, and I'm a pretty private person when it comes to my life. I wouldn't want all the intimate details of my/my family's life under constant scrutiny and speculation, for sure. I would choose to be footloose and fancy-free in the respect of not bogged down by material obligations or bound to one location or part of the world--I would want a profession that benefits others in practical ways, is personally meaningful to me, and be a traveler or explorer of people aqnd cultures... I think I would choose a life like Dr. Catherine Hamlin--she and her husband founded a series of f1stula hospitals for women throughout the world and has changed/improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and helped preserve their dignity, one person at a time. ( OMG can't believe that word was flagged by the Blurtit system as unacceptable or offensive!!! LOL!)
