What was your dream job as a child?

I vaguely remember writing in my notebook that I wanted to be a “thinker” when I grew up. My cousin is a Philosophy professor and I thought it’d be really cool to be like him. I ended up studying Philosophy in university but I wasn’t able to pursue it further.

While in university, I did think it’d be great if I could get my PhD and then become a professor. That didn’t quite work out. I am an elementary school teacher now, so I got near where I wanted to be back then.

Life is full of interesting events and experiences. Sharing stories about them helps breed a collective understanding of what we’re all doing. I’m into that.
