MY STORY
Q: What was your dream job when you was a child?
Honestly, I think the question should be "what didn't you want to be when you were a child?" The truth is, for as long as I can remember, I had many aspirations. First, I wanted to be a florist because I loved flowers. Then, I dreamt of becoming an astronaut because I marveled at the stars. And later, I wanted to be a doctor... Most of my family members work in the health and beauty industry. Seeing how they were making a positive impact on people's lives through medicine or the beauty of the world around us inspired me to consider various professions.
