Then, much later, my next dream was to become an astronaut, and I was fortunate to realize that dream, also.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It so happened that my goals kind of matched my career progression toward becoming an astronaut.
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 always wanted to be an astronaut.
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.
I had a dream, when I was little, to become a police officer and a crime investigator.
I saw this movie 'The Right Stuff' when I was in college, and it really rekindled my interest in being an astronaut. I started taking those steps, and then I realized it would be the chance of a lifetime. It would be a dream life: not just a job, but the whole life.
The first dream I had was just to get a college education. I got through college in three years, taking extra classes in summer school.
I had this dream, and I really wanted to be a star. And I was almost a monster in the way that I was really fearless with my ambitions.
Over the years, I had nurtured the hope to be able to fly; to handle a machine as it rose higher and higher in the stratosphere was my dearest dream.
As a kid, I dreamed of being a pop star, a glamorous woman and traveling the world. And I've done that all my life.
