People and cameras aren't that different; it's not just about the click, it's also the chemistry.
Got my first camera (a Ricoh rangefinder) in grade 8 and got my father's camera a few years after when I finally passed the "test" and graduated to his Pentax Spotmatic. It remains my favourite camera for so many reasons.
What I want to be when I grow up: a journalist and philanthropist.
What I am now: teacher and occasional op-ed writer.
