Hello and thank you for asking me to come and speak to you today. Id like to start by telling you about how I became a space scientist. I spent a lot of time as a child staring out of my window at the night sky. !also read books from the library and learned all about the planets. lused to stand in the garden and point out the names of the planets to my very patient parents.

Science wasn't really my favourite subject when I was at school - I preferred maths. I also played the violin very well and I thought that music might be my future career. But then I went to the Science Museum in London. There was an exhibition about space travel and also a film about shooting stars. thought it was amazing that most of the shooting stars we see are meteoroids. That night, I saw a shooting star. I was so excited I decided right then that I would bea space scientist!

I worked hard at school and studied physics at university. After that, I worked as a research assistant at different universities in Britain, and later in Japan. People ask me how to become a space scientist. Well, it doesn’t matter too much which university you go to, but you need to get the best science degree you can. Follow your dreams and don't give up!
