And the reason I was able to do that and keep with what my original intentions were was to have a career that was the fulfilling, in terms of helping people and being engaged in science, is all of a sudden I realized, as chemists, we can think about better ways to build molecules that are important for making medications.

我能够这么做,并且能不和我原来的打算冲突,是因为我的职业很有意义，能帮助他人，又和科学相关,于是突然我意思到，作为一个化学家,我们可以思考出更好的办法,制造出在制药方面十分有用的分子。

So, it seemed like a good start for me, pre-med/bio, and I signed up for my bio class -- I found out, as Professor Drennen did, that I had to take chemistry as well. I wasn't as upset, I was sort of a neutral chemistry person at this point, but I thought it was pretty smart to get it over with on the first semester, so that's what I did.

一个既在科学上有挑战又能帮助他人的职业，从医学预科或者生物起家-,我参加了生物课，我和Drennen教授一样，我也必须要上化学课，我并没有很不爽,我当时对化学的态度很中立。
