I wanted to be a marine biologist. I had thoughts about taking music and creating a universal language to talk to whales and dolphins at age 9. LOL. Now my biology practices are limited to personal study outside of work. I even invested 3 years of collage towards the interest before my parents discouraged me saying that research jobs were hard to find and few and far between. Went into the military after that not wanting to be a teacher but go into research. Now my job is completely unrelated.
