2 . When she was just 9 years old, Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on different news stories.
Hilde Lysiak’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, so she developed a strong interest in news reporting.
At age 8, Hilde Lysiak started her own newspaper, called Orange Street News (OSN). Her family lived on Orange Street at the time. Hilde Lysiak wanted to cover stories important to everyone in her town. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper. She also set up her own website and reported on YouTube.
OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were writing and reporting stories about Hilde. However, not everyone was happy about Hilde’s efforts. Some people criticized (批评) her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Hilde was upset about the complaints (埋怨). She responded with a YouTube video, “I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said. “I want to be taken seriously. I am sure other kids do, too.”
That wasn’t the first time Hilde had found it hard for people to take her seriously, which was mainly because of her age. But she never let that stop her. Hilde continued reporting.
In 2019, Hilde wrote a book for young people, called Hilde Cracks the Case, which is based on stories that Hilde wrote. The book was then turned into a TV show called Home Before Dark. For now, Hilde says she has given up reporting. But her efforts have already inspired people around the world.

10 . I walked into my adviser’s office, filled up with disappointment and confusion. The recent career workshop where I was given advice about following my dream didn’t work for me again.
To become a professor of biology had been my dream for 22 years. However, after about 4 years in a program, I decided I did not want to go after a career in research after all. I began to attend career workshops, hoping they would have the magical answers I needed, but without success.
Finally, I went to my adviser. After listening to my declaim, he calmly told me that instead of focusing on finding a dream job, I should think about what I was good at and what made me happy at least 80% of the time. He assured me there was seldom a perfect job and every job had its ugly bits. He also said it was important to find a job I was good at.
I was relieved to finally have helpful and practical advice. But I discovered that finding common ground between what I liked and what I was good at was not easy. I loved diving, but the physical demands were challenging. I was good at teaching, as evidenced by my friends before and favorable reviews when I was a teaching assistant, but I didn’t like repeating the same content every year. Through my teaching experience, however, I also learned that I loved telling stories about science. Maybe science communication would offer what I was looking for.
To test the waters, during my “spare time” I started a blog about the history of scientific discoveries. I found that I loved the freedom to choose what to write about. As for whether I was any good at it, the signs were promising. My writing got noticed, eventually by people at my institution, and I was given chances to write press releases and stories for the university’s news office. After 3 years of writing, I was offered a position as a science writer. It was nothing like my childhood dream. But I was happy—more than 80% of the time.
