Most remember the most famous question asked of them as children: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Anxious to answer, the child blurts out, "An astronaut A fireman A movie star!" Eventually, one day, all children come to the awful realization around the age of 15, that their hopes of becoming a movie star are doubtful, very doubtful. Students at Cabrini College were asked a series of questions, which in other words ask, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Jessica Saggese, a sophomore elementary/special education major, said, "In 10 years I see myself as happy as I am now. I hopefully will be happily married and be a teacher for special ed children." Saggese said, "I would like to stay in Philly because that's where my family is and I would like to stay close to them."

It seems as if the saying "Home is where the heart is " is a trend at Cabrini. Liliana Cepa, a junior business management major, said,

According to the 2000 Census, both New Jersey and Pennsylvania had an average of two children per family. Tyler Sandford, a junior political science major, was asked if he wanted children in the future and he said, "Yes, four kids, because it is a nice even number." Sandford also said, "I haven't really put much thought into what I want to live in the future, but somewhere near the ocean or near a ski resort."

Just as students have dreams now, current teachers at Cabrini had similar ambitions when they graduated college. Dr. James Hedtke, chair person for history and political science, said, "I always wanted to be a college professor; I worked to be a college professor from 1973 and on." Hedke went on to say, "Until they take me out feet first, I'm here."

guides people on how to achieve their "dream life."

"Everything starts with a decision - even if it's a decision to do what we have always done," the authors state in Chapter 4: Great Sta,tes. "We often think that we are avoiding making decisions, but in fact, that in itself is a decision not to take action."

The authors assume by picking up the book you have made the decision to take control of your life and take the steps to make your dream life possible.

Breslin and Murphy force you to actively think about your life, what you would like to change and how you are going to make it possible. A major requirement is that the reader takes a long, hard and honest look at their life and what they want.

The book is not your typical self-help book. It's set up like a workbook with questions and space for answers and provides real-life examples and techniques on how to achieve your goals. Despite the deep introspection required, the book has a casual tone and fun activities, like visualizing your dream life as a movie.

practical changes, which is what "Gazillion" does.

The final chapter is defined as "your life-coaching Band-Aid box." It addresses procrastination, self-criticism, making excuses and lack of self-confidence _ all things that could slow your progress to your indefinitely better life.

"Far as we know, we only get to live once, why not make it amazing?" Murphy said.
