When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you want to be now?

When I was kid, I always wanted to be a train conductor. I loved trains! And I thought it would be so fun to ride in a train for miles and see so many places. I had my heart set on it!


Nowadays, my dream is to be a professor of linguistics. I can imagine myself going to work everyday happy and teaching young students about the one thing I find most fascinating. And I want to do research! Lots and lots of research. There are just so many things I want to know~

I still think being a train conductor would be cool, but I think I would get tired of it eventually.
