Why did I choose biochemistry?

When I was at primay school I do not  remember thinking about my future, back then I used to play tennis actively. I think my parents were convinced that I would keep on playing tennis because I was "disconnected"from all the school stuff, like science. So, how come did I end up choosing a career related to chemistry and biology? I quit tennis and started to get closer to school stuff, that's when I realized I like to study subjects like biology. During high school studies I had a extraordinary professor of chemistry/biology who introduced me to the world of science. Thanks to him, I started to read interesting science stuff like papers, books,  biographies etc.

There was a medicine student who also was a ex-student of my high school, he did medicine and molecular biology classes so I was first in line! He inspired me to follow his footsteps. Even though he was studying Medicine, what I was most intrigued about was the biochemistry behind everything he taught me. Only now I realize that the only reason for wanting to study medicine instead of biochemistry was him. So charmed -and a little blinded- by his shadow I wanted to follow his same path to the letter. Again, only now I realize that the path to follow had to be forged by me and only me. I now... I was very young back then.

Finally, after taking the PSU for the second time I had no option but to go into Biochemistry, maybe it felt a little bit like settling at the time, but I am very happy with how things worked out at the end. Currently doing my best to get good grades, and enjoying the beginning of my days in college.
