That’s just because I thought it was fun. At that time, they didn’t expect that it was going to come true. So they didn’t care. When I was older, they asked me the same question. But this time, they expected that it was going to come true. So they asked me to answer the question seriously. I should tell them what I really wanted to be and how I was going to do that. But I didn’t know what to say. When I think about the future, I just want to be happy, and I don’t really care what kind of job I am going to do. I think happiness is a destination for everyone.

That’s just because I thought it was fun. At that time, they didn’t expect that it was going to come true. So they didn’t care. When I was older, they asked me the same question. But this time, they expected that it was going to come true. So they asked me to answer the question seriously. I should tell them what I really wanted to be and how I was going to do that. But I didn’t know what to say. When I think about the future, I just want to be happy, and I don’t really care what kind of job I am going to do. I think happiness is a destination for everyone. We may do different jobs, but we all want to be happy. So I only know that if I’m not happy, I will not be at the end of my journey yet. 34.
