To have your childhood dream realized is a really big deal.
My childhood dream was to play basketball, actually.
I had the pleasure, as Robin said, to live a childhood dream as many young Americans and Puerto Rican children live that play youth baseball. And I feel honored and very thankful for that opportunity.
Becoming an economist was not a childhood dream of mine.
I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That's what I told everybody I was going to be when I grew up.
