How did I end up being a scientist, part I

I had always dreamt of becoming an actress. I took drama classes throughout middle school and made short clips with my classmates for school assignments. The teacher loved those clips as teaching tool and that way I got away from doing the old fashion written assignments. I had a friend with a video camera, that was a rare thing to own back then, so that gave us a huge boost. We would improvise short movies and I was convinced this was the funniest and most fun profession in the world. I still believe it is so. So I signed up for drama as major in high school and had my whole career planned. There were several problems with my plan though; if you wanted to become successful in this field you had to make it big time and for that you had to go to the US, the only drawback I had with that was my English and mostly my accent which I realized was going to be hard to get rid off, but doable. The second problem was my parents, two high-tech established computer scientists, that was not quite what they had been hoping for me, saving money for my future tuition in a high ranked university, but being a teenager back then, that was the least of my concerns, only made my dream seem brighter and more desirable. The third problem, and that retrospectively, was the biggest problem of all was Dr. Dagan, my science teacher. She wanted me in her class from some reason. The way it worked in my school was that you had to choose either science or art, and cannot mix between them. Taking drama as my major would mean I would not be able to take any science class and vice versa. "With grades and accomplishments like yours you should be in my class!" she exclaimed. "The world of science needs you". She had that way of expressing herself that was just too challenging to ignore. "but I want to become an actress" I said flattered. "you can still take acting classes on your spare time after school" she said. And she was right of course. ״One year" she asked. "give me one year to show you how fascinating science can be and if by the end of this year you still dream of becoming an actress I personally guarantee that you will be accepted to the drama major class, no auditions, nothing, you are in". That was tempting enough since the auditions for that major were well known for their high expectations and low success rates. "So all I have to do is take one year of science as a major?" I was trying to make sure I understood the deal correctly, it just seemed too good to be true. "Yes" she smiled. "And if by the end of next year I decide that I want to switch to drama as major I will be..." still making sure. "Automatically accepted" she promised. So where do I sign?
