The scientists from the past sure are a talented and smart bunch, I wish I could be like them one day
They sure are, and I believe you can do that too, after all, everything started with just an observation. Your observation of their clever techniques and theories is a step closer to your dream,

You're right! From now on I'll pay extra attention to my surroundings, who knows, maybe next time people will be studying my discoveries.
I know you can do it, now let's go before we end being late to class.
