      Hi,
      It was always one of my favourites anyway. I really enjoyed craft and design too. I suppose at times it would be my favourie and other times it wouldn’t be. It was never my easiest subject though- there were lots of things I found easier but I always knew it was what I wanted to do.

      I agree with Jamie, science wasn’t always easy but I did love how it made me think hard about how things worked. But I also loved art and photography too… I wish I still did something creative like this in my spare time, but I always put it at the bottom of my long to-do list.

      Science was one of my favorites. I liked biology and chemistry, physics less. But I have to say that my teachers seemed to matter a lot as well… my really dynamic science teachers were my two biology teachers. So it makes sense that I ended up going more in that direction.

      But I also liked English, Spanish and music. I also played a lot of sports. I didn’t know I would be a scientist when in school. I thought maybe a doctor, but I didn’t think a scientist at all!

      @chloeffion123 Music and German were actually my favourite subjects at school because I was good at them, but I really enjoyed physics and learning about how things work. My interest in geophysics and Earth sciences came later.

      hmmm, I would not say so because a lot of the work about science at school involved many labs and, as I have said before, I am not very good at them. I really loved maths though.
