Were you once that kid who wanted to be a NASA astronaut, the next JK Rowling or maybe even Spiderman? Like you and me, this week's featured writer once fantasized of being her favorite superhero, among others. But then, reality confronted her and she realized that the idea of becoming whoever you want to become was a myth. Odeza writes about that in her essay, "Why dreams die." It was published last December 1, 2020, and on this episode, she tells us more about her own dream when she was young, what she's currently up to now, and her advice for kids who have the wildest dreams but lack the resources or the environment to nurture that innate passion for whatever craft.
