“In 20 years, I will be 37 years old, so I see myself as a psychiatrist, a pediatric psychiatrist, and hopefully married with two kids, but just … overall, in the field of either psychiatry or neurology. I plan to stay in Memphis for undergrad to save money, but I do plan to go to medical school somewhere that’s not Memphis, maybe somewhere up north, or to the west. It depends on where I match for residency, because that’s like predetermined. They’ll put you like anywhere, like your highest ranking, so it all depends on wherever that is. But if I like the city, I’ll stay there, but if not, I may come back to Memphis because I know that at least in the field of psychiatry, especially with children and mental health, there’s a lot more work that needs to be done in Memphis, so I’d be happy to stay.”

“In 20 years, I see myself … either working [at] or owning an airport company. [If] working [at an airport], it will be air traffic control, in the towers and airports, or just owning an air carrier business altogether. I would have no problem with [living in] Memphis, but I like Charlotte a lot, so either in the Carolina’s and Charlotte, like an airport there, would be nice. Well, I most likely — once I get a house for myself and my family, I would most definitely want a dog. My favorite dog is a Rottweiler, so probably just a Rottweiler.”

“In 20 years … I’ll be 38, almost? I guess [I’ll] probably [be] like married, with a family or something. I don’t know, I guess maybe [living] in the suburbs or maybe somewhere, like a small town or something, probably have a family, I’ll probably have a job, still working. What job do I want versus like the job I think I’ll have is kind of different. The job that I think I’ll have, I think I’ll probably … be working at an office or something … Maybe like two [kids] and a dog. And a cat. I think I plan on moving [away from Memphis]. Maybe somewhere like North Carolina or something, or just somewhere more like rural, I guess, like small town vibe. Circling back to the job … I probably see myself somewhere, like I guess like working with music. Like instruments, or maybe like theater, or something like that, just like anything in the arts.”

“[I see myself] hopefully working somewhere in the medical field, helping kids and stuff. I want to live in my own house far away from my family, where I can branch out and bloom into a good person. I would also love to have ten cats and ten dogs to keep me company, and at most two children.”
