As a kid, I wanted to spend my life swimming with fish. I did it for a while when I was a grown up – it was what I did my PhD on – but it was kind of chilly and got a bit boring after a while. Now, I really enjoy writing about science and I want to keep doing it while learning about new ways to communicate with patients and doctors – for example, rather than boring essays, how we can use new technologies like iPads or 3D holograms.
The great thing about ambitions is that it’s OK to change them. Just because you think you want to be an astronaut/teacher/doctors/milkman now doesn’t mean that you *have* to stick at it when you’re older. I spent 7 years getting university degrees & then went to do something entirely different – and that’s really OK. Being happy is definitely the most importantg thing!
