What do you want to be when you grow up?

Today, one of my students read me a story about the first African-American woman in outer space. She'd also graduated from medical school and worked as a doctor in developing countries all over the world before deciding to go up into the blue. I wonder what she said she wanted to be when she was little.

When I was little, whenever anyone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, "a singer."
