      Not really! I wanted to be a vet for ages and then even a zoo keeper. I loved spending time with animals. Probably because I got bored at school easily. I didn’t find what we understood interesting to study and learn off. I preferred reading a learning about things we could barely comprehend. That just kinda led me to science by accident. When I was applying for college I picked astrophysics and neuroscience as my two routes because I thought they were both so interesting. I could see myself studying them. I was offered a place in a neuroscience course and I have been in love with it ever since.
