      Wow, itslucy, that’s a difficult question!

      In terms of science, I guess I’d like to have a successful career where I make lots of cool discoveries about how things like volcanoes and earthquakes work.

      But there’s more to life than science, and I want to live a happy and fulfilled life.

      Hi itslucy

      My general aim in life is get as much out of it as possible. I think we get one shot at living, so I’m going to pack in as much as possible, if I think an opportunity is worth going after I chase it down and go for it.

      So long as I can look back and think I did all that I could, that I made a difference along the line and that I took my chances I’ll be very happy.

      My specific aim in life as a scientist is that I hope to have a fun career, where I am challenged and pushed hard everyday to discover more about teh Earth’s climate.

      I think my overall aim in life is quite simple, its just to be happy. Whether that be inside or outside of work. I think enjoying your job is a pretty important part of enjoying life as you spend alot of your day at work!

      Hi itslucy,

      To be happy … that’s all folks. Sorry it’s a short answer but that’s my main aim in life.
