Ever since I was about ten years old I’ve known that I wanted to study at a university. All my friends wanted to be fire fighters or police officers, but I wanted to be a scientist winning the Nobel Price, kind of nerdy? I guess I was watching way too many nature and science programs back then, I wanted to be like “the cool” scientists on TV. I even had a little microscope to play with, the only thing I wanted for Christmas that year.

It’s kind of strange in a way; none of my relatives have studied at a university. Many of them never finished high school. My parents haven’t had a foot at a university in their entire life. So I can’t blame my genes for studying; I choose to blame the TV! Maybe I’m a member of the TV-raised generation, learning the values in life from TV shows, which in my case happens to be “Mitt i naturen”. And as we all know the impact the TV have on children’s brains is irresistible. I had no choice, I had to fulfil my destiny!
