I wanted to be a doctor and help people.I was always playing doctor with dolls,wrapping their arms and legs in tissues!My mom was a nurse,and my two sisters are now nurses,but I went into finance.The educational requirements to be a doctor are too much for me now,but I feel I’m helping people and contributing to society as a teacher.

I’ve always loved animals,and as a little boy I first wanted to be a frog,then a chimp.When told I had to be something human,I chose zookeeper.I worked at a zoo in high school,but I wouldn’t want to do that job now,although I am fulfilling my dream of helping rescued animals,since I own a honey bear,an albino snake(患白化病的蛇),a dog and some cats!

As a little girl I wanted to be many things,and when my grandmother suggested that as an actress I could play various roles,that stuck with me.The Takarazuka Revue(宝冢歌剧团) was popular during my childhood,so that also inspired me.Of course I would still like to become an actress.
