What a heart warming photo! About becoming a biologist, you still can pursue your dream. Many people start new study at age 40, 50, and 60. I began writing in English when I was about 50. I'm glad I did. But I don't think anyone really took me seriously then including my children. This is not my complaint though. They were all supportive, I must say.
Lu, One of the great things about life is it's not always a straight line and we can reinvent ourselves and have second and third "roads" many times. If you think in small chunks, your dream may still be a reality. It could be now, four months from now, or a few years a way--or maybe more. Don't give up your passion. I'm sure your road will open up and you will find a way to line up with the road, even if not in a clear cut way.
Keiko,Dr. J, and Rebb, thank you so much for your support! I don´t say "too late" out of bitterness, though. I´m fine with it. I just wonder what it would be like, you know? Would I be a completely different person? Would I have met the same people I have? I love everything related to Biology, but I also love the literary world. Writing is a flexible activity, and there´s no age for that. I´m happy you chose that, because that´s how I met you :-) As for the dolphins (botos), I grew up trying to spot them on the beach. I´d love when we´d arrive on the beach and people were saying:"look! you can see the botos today!". And there they were,far into the ocean, flipping. Nice memories.
I do the same about dolphins and whales. We are all excited when we spot them. Since you live in Brazil whick is so famous with nature and Amazon, I hope you write about all those exotic animals, insects, and butterflies. We need to find out more about how to save them and coexist even in cities.

And what great examples from Keiko and Jitu!
