      Hi!

      I never thought I could ever be a scientist. In school I like biology but not the rest of the science subjects. It was only when I left school and went to college that I decided I wanted to study science at university.

      Hi,

      Like Zarah, I didn’t think I was going to be a scientist while I was at school, all I knew is I wanted to be an archaeologist. It wasn’t until I went on excavation when I was 19 and worked on separating seeds from soil that I realised I wanted to know more about them and decided to do the archaeological science course.

      Hi,

      I wasn’t sure I am gonna end up becoming one but Biology was what I liked the most in highschool. At around 17 years old I stumbled across university of Sheffield and Molecular Biology online and was very intrigued by the information they gave on the modules description. Combined with my passion for Biology it wasn’t a tough decision. I was also contemplating medicine and chemistry, but Biology won me over.
