As we walked towards my school I thought about what he said about chemistry being used to do a lot of good, "Earlier, you said that I could use chemistry to do a lot of good. My parents are both pharmacists. But I don't actually want to go into chemistry despite the possibilities for good. In fact, I don't want to be a scientist at all."
"While there are opportunities to help, there is an equal opportunity to hurt, even if unintentional. Think about the mutts we see in the arenas every year. Some scientist created them to do a job, to help. And now look at them, they're used to kill kids. You know better than me. I'd hate to find some sort of discovery that ends up hurting someone."
"And that, Teddy, is why I want to be a science teacher instead. Knowledge won't hurt anyone. And it gives me an opportunity to help kids. When I become a teacher I want to be someone they can talk to. And if I help even one student, one person, it all will have been worth it. And I can rest easy knowing I wouldn't have killed anyone."
He was quiet and let me ramble and now it was his turn, "I got my turn to ramble, and now it's yours, if you weren't THE Teddy Ursa, what do you think your life would be like right now?"
