A dad who interviewed his daughter on the first day of school every year has shared their final video as she heads off to college.
Ray Petelin, 47, came up with the idea to ask his little girl, Elizabeth, now 17, a series of questions each new school year to see how his daughter's ambitions changed.
When Elizabeth first started kindergarten, aged five, in 2012, Ray sat her down and recorded the moment he asked her what she wanted to be when she was older and what she was looking forward to that year.
Over the years Elizabeth has said she wanted to be a doctor, teacher, magician, waitress and heart surgeon when she grows up.
Now on their thirteenth video, the pair released the bittersweet moment Ray asked Elizabeth the questions for the final time and she revealed she now wants to become a physical therapist or a nurse.
