        I wanted to be a policeman when I was younger, mainly because of the sirens. When I was a bit older I realised how much paper work you had to do and that was when I started to really enjoy chemistry. I think wearing the lab coat and being able to play around with things made me really enjoy it.

        I wanted to be one of the Thunderbirds (an old TV show) because there were cool and would defeat bad guys with amazing machines.
        I then became interested in science, got a chemistry set and really enjoyed it. My dream job was working in a lab, and I managed to make it come true.

        I really wanted to be a formula one driver. But I used to get car sick and realised that was a daft idea. Mostly, I wanted to do chemistry and be a scientist because I really liked all the cool colours, and occasionally blowing stuff up.

        I wanted to be a vet because i love animals and wanted to help them.

        Another one was an astronaut because I thought it would of been amazing to go to space.
