“When I was about four or five, my dream was to own a sweet shop when I grow up. I was so obsessed that I got a toy sweet shop for Christmas that year. It was a colorful small plastic stand and it had a nice canopy and all these small containers with different penny sweets… It was beautiful! The problem was that I ate myself out of sweets in a few hours, so I had nothing to sell. Since then I gave up sugar, but I’d be afraid to rekindle my love for it… I decided I’m not going to be a sweet shop owner, so I became an English teacher instead.”
