  15 years ago I would have been 11 so quite young. I guess I’d say just be yourself and don’t worry about trying to fit in at school because you’re going to leave there someday and meet a way bigger group of people who have interests like yours.

  15 years ago I was 8 years old, so I was still in primary school. I probably would tell myself to be more confident, and to try to ask more questions/be more inquisitive about the world. Sometimes we can think of the best questions, but not ask them. For example, I remember being told that liquids spread to occupy the container that they are in and thinking – “well, then if water is supposed to spread into a container, why does it form a droplet?” There is actually an answer to that which I learnt in college.
  
  So, be curious, be confident, and don’t eat the flapjacks that are in the school café because they are as hard as concrete and you might break your teeth.

  I would have been 15 – I would love to tell myself to stop messing around and to start paying attention in class! I didn’t take school seriously and my life would have been a lot easier if I just learnt what my teachers were trying to teach me.

  Fifteen years ago I had just started medical school and I was just settling into things, making friends and getting to know where I was living. So I think my advice would be – enjoy this! Later you’ll have more responsibility, but for now, make friends and go traveling!

  That is exactly when I started my PhD. I would say you are doing great! Learn as much as you can and be confident, as you are hard-working and will do great! Confidence is so important in life (not only at work). I would also tell myself to enjoy life a bit more and worry less!

  15 years ago I was 12 and in my first year in highschool so I would probably tell myself to be yourself and don’t worry too much about everyone liking you. I struggled with confidence in my early years in highschool so I think just being comfortable in your own skin is important.
