      Yes, my maths teacher (who was also my form tutor) didn’t believe I was cut out to study maths and physics at A level, so I ended up doing History and Sociology instead. Well, he got that wrong.

      I didn’t have it with science, but I did have it with another subject. I decided to drop A-Level History when I was in sixth form and a teacher told me I’d never succeed without it. They were a tad off the mark with that one.

      Other than that all of my teachers were very supportive.

      One enlightened individual at my old school informed me that I would grow up to ‘mug old ladies’…. he was slightly off of the mark with that one! I also had no idea where it came from, I mean I was a pain but I wasn’t bad haha.

      Still karma, I heard he got suspended shortly after I finished high school

      @els14 actually no, I always loved science! It might happen that you grow your interest in science later on… I have so many friends that were studying something else completely unrelated when they discovered science was actually their way to go!
