      I did work hard, but that is not unique to being a scientist. For example if you want to study English or Art you need to work hard!
      I think the key is to choose something you enjoy, because then it doesn’t really feel like hard work if you are having fun 🙂

    I agree with Vicky, there are lots of different careers for which it’s important to study hard – start by studying hard for your GCSEs and for A Levels, choose subjects that you enjoy as this will be easier than doing subject you think you ought to do. Then you’re set you up to do the things you want to do in future.
