      I felt pretty excited, because this is the job I always wanted to do. I can be a bit unconfident sometimes though, so a little part of me was worried that I wouldn’t do the job well. This is something called ‘imposter syndrome’ and is something a lot of scientists have. As for being an astronomer, I think anybody can be an astronomer if they can appreciate space and want to learn more.
