>>I'm nine years old.
I think it's the greatest year to be alive.
>>DIRECTOR: So, Sierra, can you tell us what you want to be when you grow up?
>>I want to be an author.
Because it's a chance I get to use my imagination.
>>I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up.
And my two favourite animals are a turtle and a jellyfish.
>>I'd like to be a helicopter doctor because I've always wanted to be a doctor
and I really love helicopters.
>>DIRECTOR: So can you name some authors for me?
>>David Walliams, Roald Dahl and um...
>>I look up to Charles Darwin and Jacques Cousteau.
>>DIRECTOR: Do you think there are more men or women who do that job?
>>I don't think it's a job that women would be interested in.
>>DIRECTOR: Why?
>>Because I think women would be more into being a nurse?
MUSIC
>>There's more boys than girls that do it.
Maybe girls aren't just interested in more of that stuff.
>>Sierra: Girls they like fairies and mermaids
and stuff like that but they're not really real.
>>DIRECTOR: We've got someone coming to meet you now.
>>Hi I'm Claire.
>>Hi Claire
>>I'm one of the helicopter doctors.
Nice to meet you.
>>Nice to meet you too.
>>How are you going?
>>Good.
I'm really excited.
>>BIOLOGIST: My name is Sam.
I work here at Sealife Sydney Aquariam
and I'm a marine biologist here.
>>My name is Jacqueline Harvey.
Do you know what I do for a job?
What do I do?
>>Write.
>>I write books.
Do you like reading?
>>Do you want to get in?
>> Yes!
>>Up you hop!
Where you're sitting is exactly where I sit when we fly.
>>Really?
>>Yep!
Exactly where I sit.
>>I'm in charge of this team and I look after absolutely everything in here.
So we have two dugongs and we have a whole bunch of sharks and rays which are...
>>I wrote a book called The Old Woman Who Lived In A Tree.
>>Oh!
So why don't you read me the first page?
>>Once upon a time, there was an old lady who lived in a tree.
One day, the old lady went for a walk.
>>So you can be an anaesthetic doctor, or you can be an intensive care doctor
or an emergency doctor.
There're so many different options.
>>Cool!
>>Yeah.
>>There's not really a difference about boy and girl writing.
So they can both become an author.
>>I was like "Oh my gosh!
I've only researched about boy marine biologists and now I've finally met a girl one!"
Like...just a dream.
>>DIRECTOR: Is there anything a boy can do that a girl can't do?
>>No.
If you want to do something, you do it.
>>Good look.
Suits you.
>>Thank you.
>>When I'm older, those little girls will have someone to look up to
because that's going to be me.
