A
Tina Rees, 50
English teacher (Canadian)
I wanted to be a doctor and help people.I was always playing doctor with dolls, wrapping their arms and legs in tissues! My mom was a nurse, and my two sisters are now nurses, but I went into finance.The educational requirements to be a doctor are too much for me now, but I feel I'm helping people and contributing to society as a teacher.
John Podeszwa, 45
English school owner (American)
I've always loved animals, and as a little boy I first wanted to be a frog, then a chimp.When told I had to be something human, I chose zookeeper. I worked at a zoo in high school, but I wouldn't want to do that job now, although I am fulfilling my dream of helping rescued animals, since I own a honey bear, an albino snake (患白化病的蛇), a dog and some cats!
Miwa Gilligan, 48
Parttime worker (Japanese)
As a little girl I wanted to be many things, and when my grandmother suggested that as an actress I could play various roles, that stuck with me.The Takarazuka Revue (宝冢歌剧团) was popular during my childhood, so that also inspired me.Of course I would still like to become an actress.
Hiromitsu Tokunaga, 55
Sewage worker (Japanese)
My dream job both as a child and now is to be an astronaut.I grew up during the “Space Race” era and remember well the first moon landing, the famous scifi movie 2001, and all the rest.I still have a strong dream of going into space, and in my lifetime hope to see regular affordable space tours for people like me!
