I feel good about myself when I do science

I might choose a career in science.

After I finish high school, I will use science often.

When I am older, knowing science will help me earn money.

When I am older, I will need to understand science for my job.

I know I can do well in science.

Science will be important to me in my future career.

I can understand most subjects easily, but science is hard for me to understand.

In the future, I could do harder science work.
