I just thought of an importan turning point in my life though.  Why I want 
to be a nuclear physicist:

When I was about 11/12 I got really sick (never knew what it was) and I 
was in bed for about two or three months.  During that time, I got into 
reading lots of books.  Well I was looking for the word elephant in the 
encyclopedia and found the word electron on the way.  I read up on it and 
was intantly facinated.  

And adult friend of mine gave me a copy of "A Brief History of Time," a 
then newly released book by Stephen Hawking and told me that it was 
designied for the layman to understand.  I read it and understood nothing. 
 At that point, I decided tthat I will learn it all
Hence, my field of study
