really. I never knew that someone that wanted to be in the navy would become a scientist.

I love the David Attenborough documentaries too, particularly the African one. They teach me lots, and I like watching the big cats creep up on their pray.

I have been watching Africa too! I was crying my eyes out when I watched the episode where the baby elephant dies 🙁
but it was a happy ending after all because more baby elephants were born when the rains came so it wasn’t so bad. I still had puffy eyes the next morning though from all the crying!! lol.-
I know that was so sad 🙁

NO, I wanted to join the Navy. I did that and then found out I was a square peg in a round hole.

Yes, I wanted to work for NASA. My parents made me a doll house (like a girls cubby house) and I turned it into a laboratory. I would collect fleas of my dogs to see under the microscope.

Yes because I loved watching David Attenboroughs BBC nature documentaries and he always had different scientists on the program talking about the animals. I was addicted to the National Geographic channel and The Crocodile Hunter too. I always knew I would be involved in studying animals and nature in some way.

Yes and no. I loved Dinosaurs sooooooooo much (Jurassic Park is my favourite movie), so I wanted to be a paleontologist. BUT, I also loved sport, so I wanted to be an olympic volleyballer!

I wanted to be an astronomer when i was very little. And then i wanted to do lots of other things like be a author or a childrens doctor or an archaelogist.
