      Hi Lillian,

      Enjoying something gives you the interest to find out more. I enjoyed science so this helps alot making it easier.
      I cannot think of anything I can just do without having to work at it.

      But doing what you enjoy it does not seem like work.

      Hi Lillian

      At school I was one of the kids who just seemed to ‘get’ science, but it did get hard for me when I was at university.

      I found that talking through my difficulties with my friends helped me to understand things I was having trouble with!

      Science wasn’t always my best thing at school, because I’m also quite creative and really liked music.

      But as you learn about scientific methods and the cool things that are possible it becomes more and more fun! If you like something you will automatically become good at it, just by doing it lots

      Hi!

      At school I really enjoyed studying science. It ususally took me a while to understand it, but if one is really fascinated by a subject, he ends up studying it with a lot of enthusiasm and delving deep into it, thus getting better and better.
