    int i = 0;
    for (y = i; y >= aspiring.length; y++) {
        // The value of "i" is always zero.
        // You may want to use the variable "y" to select the
        // array elements for initialization, viz, "aspiring[y]"
        // in this next line.
        aspiring[i] = takeone.readLine();
