But before I throw this picture out, allow me to elaborate for a moment. His name is doctor ybab-nam which is man-baby spelled backwards. It's also how I've lived my life both in and out of the science laboratory, I'll let the ladies of the class judge if that is a good or bad thing.
Sticking strictly to the science lab however, I've always had a child's like fascination with science. All the experiments in school that involved fire or blowing things up were always the ones I did the best with which is why chemistry class was so confusing for me in high school, some weeks we'd be melting ice cream and looking at it under a microscope, other weeks we'd be learning about noble gases and off to sleep I went.
What has me interested in this class is that we are solely dealing with elementary science and that is where my man-baby science powers are at their top form. Science in elementary school was always fun and teachers made it interesting by incorporating fun experiments and fun tie ins with Bill Nye the science guy or the magic school bus, to name a couple examples.
I guess this is also the kind of science teacher I want to become. All the cool science experiments I did at that age, I can remember everything about them, including the teachers names and faces. I'd love to be that science teacher who leaves that kind of lasting impression on my students, cause in the end, isn't that what every teacher wants?
