me feel better. Physicians were like
magicians to me.
Next, when I got to secondary school, I
found science subjects more interesting.
This was
partly due to a number of interesting
science teachers we had, including a certain
adventurous Chemistry teacher, who tried
to manufacture "Palm Wine" in the
Laboratory. Science subjects also
seemed to be more practical. For example,
in physics we learned about gravity, light,
electricity - which were and still are part
and parcel of everyday life.
But, instead of choosing a career focused
solely on biology or on physics, one may
sometimes wish to be in a field where one is
able to enjoy Physics, Biology and even
some Chemistry. One may wish to be
