      No, actually I was a really bad science student in class because they were all about microscopes and analysing tissues, I could never understand it. I grew up wanting to be an engineer like my father, because he came home and talked about machines, I always listened in animated detail with scrunched faces, did not understand that either:)
      It was only during my engineering that one of our lecturers asked me to question everything. It was after that I realized that even the action of jumping in a puddle has motion physics involved to it. So , Science was a cultivated interest.
      I really envy children like you, for whom it’s such a natural interest!! Just kidding:)
      I hope you do well in whichever subjects you are aiming for. Best of Luck there buddy
