I am living out my adolescent dream of travel and adventure.

With Yale, my world got so big all of a sudden. At school, if you could dream it, someone would make it so that you could do it. It was magical. I had a lot going on, as you do when you're 17, and didn't necessarily capitalize on all of it, but it made me see possibility in a way that I hadn't before.

This may sound strange but I had dreams as a kid of doing exactly what I ended up doing in my life.

At night I dream about going to where I played when I was still young.

I wanted to travel from the beginning. As a kid, I used to dream about airplanes, before I ever flew in one.

If you have a dream, you can spend a lifetime studying, planning, and getting ready for it. What you should be doing is getting started.

Although as a boy I had dreamed about going into space, I had completely forgotten about that until one day I received a call from an astronaut, who suggested that I should join the program.

My first dream as a child was to become a pilot. My second dream was to become an astronomer, and I pursued in parallel efforts and studies in these two areas.

I had a dream, when I was little, to become a police officer and a crime investigator.
