“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is the well-meaning conversation topic raised with many children from the time they are able to play dress-ups at preschool. With toothy grins and great confidence they tell you “a fireman”, “a doctor”, “an aeroplane pilot”. On the surface this is just a childish conversation, with no consequence or real meaning.

Our hope as parents, and as teachers, is that our children grow up with a deep belief that anything is possible.
