when my daughter was very young, I took her to college. She was probably 4 or 5 years old. One of my friends in an english class bent down and asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. Little Liz scrunched up her face at her, like she had just asked her some dumb question ...and then blurted out "why, I want to be ME, that what I want to be when I grow up"...lol
talk about a solid sense of identity and self worth...
