When I was a little kid, I was certain that I wanted to be an astronaut. I loved Star Wars, and I was that kid who had his birthday at the planetarium. Then reality hit: there’s a lot more science and a lot less exploration.
When I was in middle school, I decided I was going to go to UCLA and study psychology – then reality hit because I couldn’t afford their tuition. I found acting, but then reality hit because I wasn’t the physical type directors wanted. I went into teaching, but then reality hit because the education system is underfunded.
