I asked all my high school classes to write down what they dreamed to do with their lives. The most common answer: Become a boss and make lots of money. Becoming a photographer, an NBA player, and a actor were also common dreams. My favorite response came from an unassuming 9th grade girl named Xu Xu (pronounced She She).
"Traveling around the world is my dream. I like this dream. It's interesting. Some people have asked me, "Why is this your dream?" My answer is, "Because I want to be free!" I like freedom; it is like a blue sky. I want to be a bird, traveling around the world and learning many things that teachers can't teach you. I like this dream so much. It makes me very happy."
