Field Trip Time
I went with my daughter’s class to the science museum today.
We learned how to dissect a heart.
We listened to our own hearts too…
The experience was a big ball of science + wonder + mess + imagination + coolness, and I put on the gloves and jumped right in to help. No squeamishness, no ick, no carefully calculated distance between me and the kids. And I was pretty good at it.
To the high school teacher who made me feel like I had no aptitude for science, no future in medicine or research, who made me feel like I couldn’t ever do anything like this: I rocked this science experiment. All because I thought that I could.
