I want to be a toxicologist because I too was inspired by a personal experience. I've had mercury poisoning before, so severe that I almost went brain dead in 2014; I still have to revel in it's long-term affects years later but I want to prevent people from ever getting sick like I did. Because I'm lucky to even still be alive and functional. When I slipped into a coma after my biggest seizure cause my brain had given up, they said that If I ever were to wake up (which they said was a 15% chance to) I would most likely be brain dead. I woke up early, and was by all expectations: Functional, breathing, talking, and distraught. Ever since, I've been inspired to study and help.

I’m becoming more interested in becoming one mainly because of chubby emu, which all of you should check out I’m 14 and I’m hooked because his videos are very understandable.
