When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was five years old, my entire life revolved around playing. I grew up in a small town in Mexico, surrounded by nature—hills, mountains, and rivers. Despite the abundance of play, I managed to think about the future.
In our town, playtime meant running and exploring the natural world. I would play in the river, chasing turtles and catching fish. I would also explore the mountains, discovering different types of vegetation, wildflowers, plants, and animals. My childhood was an incredible time, filled with adventure and happiness that I believe will never change.
I wish everyone could experience something similar to me. That was my only wish and thought when I was five. Later, as I grew older, I realized that this wish had come true.
