Growing up, I was always a curious child. I remember the word “why?” always sitting on the end of my tongue, just waiting to be released, ready to bombard the next unsuspecting adult that crossed my path. I watched the world with wide eyes, filled with wonderment and excitement. My mind was always buzzing with theories as to how things worked and I’m proud to admit that my curiosity has never been diminished.
