        Hi ewizabeth2.0,

        the first thing is you must try your best at school, especially in your science and maths GCSEs. As long as you do ok in these you can take A levels in science subjects and then if you do well in them, you can go to university to study a science. Again, you must try hard throughout and do your best. If you well enough in your degree, this is when you can truly start to become a scientist. You can either get a job in science after this or go and do a PhD and do research like I am doing 🙂

        Basically it does take hard work but it is worth it 🙂
