  5. What did you want to be when you grew up?

  6. Tell me something embarring that happened to you in middle/ high school

  7. What happened that felt like a great failure at the time?

  8. Now that you are a parent, what would you tell your teenage self?

  9. What do you think my life will be like when I am your age?
