To answer your question, I got into science at an early age. It started in fourth grade, I had an elderly neighbor that I visited often and she use to have piles of science books (a lot being on astronomy) We would read them all the time and I enjoyed the ones on space the most. Sadly my neighbor passed away, but before she died, she asked what I was interested in the most and I said that my favorite thing to do was learn about space. So she gave me all of her books as a present. The more I read them the more interest I had in astronomy. So I'd say it's because of my neighbor that I'm interested in science.
