About this.

In february this year I first asked people the question "what do you want to do, or what do you want to be when you grow up?". Influenced by the work of Sophie Calle, the idea behind asking the question was to get people to think a little more creatively about where they are in their lives and to see the world as full of the endless possibilities we recognise as children. Perhaps a little naive - but really - what's so wrong with that? Since then I have used it in two projects during the last part of my foundation course, and it has become something I want to continue asking people throughout my life. I think the answer's you get can let you inside of someone else's world a little bit. So I thought I'd share them. Each answer is completely anonymous, however I am thinking of including a name and age to answers in the future.

I have left in spelling and grammar mistakes, they are exactly as they were written.
