      Hiya!

      When I was younger I would always look into nature, ask questions and trying to answer them.
      One summer my grandpa allowed me to get a little tank and catch some small fish from our local river because I kept asking questions about them!
      We were observing them the whole summer in the tank. I learned what they eat, where they liked to hide in the tank, that they can change colour, that they need oxygen and so on. Thats when I really wanted to be a scientist! I was about 9 years old!

      I was probably around 5-6 years old. I just had so many questions for my parents they told me about scientists and how they find things out. That made me want to be one!
