Question: did your family want you to do science or did you want to do it for fun or was it just for fun then you have inproved to be a scientist?

My family generally wanted me to do something that made me happy and science did make me happy and still does! I enjoyed lots of different subjects at school but especially chemistry, biology, music and english. I didn’t know which to choose out of these subjects so I went for science because I thought that I could always become a writer or musician whilst doing science but I wouldn’t be able to become a scientist whilst I was a writer or musician. I’m glad I made this choice because I still get to write and play music and do science all at once!
