      I liked maths because there was always a right answer 🙂 Things like English were really hard because who knows what makes an essay ‘good’ (it’s pretty random :P).
      But I think my favourite subject was something like Graphic Design – which is when you smash maths and art together 😀 That’s why I love being a scientist – because it’s not just about doing maths, you have to be really creative and come up with new ideas and paint new pictures of the world.
      What’s your favourite subject? 🙂

      I liked maths. It was easy and love solving equations 🙂

      Physics! I always liked learning about how stuff worked.
      But a close second was ICT, I spent a lot of those classes just messing around with photoshop 🙂

      I think it was physics (surprise surprise!) but I also really enjoyed geology.

      I think I basically enjoyed any kind of science!

      (I also used to really hate PE and sports, which looking back on it is pretty funny because I play a lot of sport now…)

      I liked lots of stuff at school – so when I left I was really unsure what I wanted to do! I really enjoyed physical geography (and we got to go on a really nice field trip to the Yorkshire Dales), history, as well as physics and maths. I also really liked making things in woodwork for Design Technology!

    So Maths is involved with science too? Could I still be a scientist if I didn’t like maths that much?

      Sometimes maths is involved, but not always. Physics has a bit more maths than, say, chemistry, and it has a lot more maths than biology. So you can certainly be a scientist even if you don’t like maths! 🙂
      But I should also say that the maths you do in school is pretty boring – it gets much more exciting once you start using it as a scientist. So don’t worry too much if you don’t like it now – if you really like science, keep working at that and one day you’ll be a scientist for sure 🙂
