I’ll answer in order

1 it’s really cool, because it’s literally everything, every single thing is made of atoms and every other physics is what happens when they get together.

2 fission but when I was 12 I wanted to build a fusor ( got as far as designing one that should have achieved fusion)

3 propulsion/ applied also NTP stands for nuclear thermal propulsion, its what I’d most like to work on.

4 I always have loved science and I discovered it early on, I guess I just thought that it was really cool and made sense to me

5 I plan to attend Virginia tech for
Aerospace Engineering and get a BE and eventually I’d love to work with nuclear propulsion systems since I feel that they are the gateway to the planets.

As someone with a BS in AeroE, if your primary interest was in NTP, my recommendation would be majoring in Nuclear Engineering, with a minor or double major in Astrophysics. Even though I focused on the Astro side, almost half my workload was focused on things relating to airplanes that aren't terribly relevant to spaceflight.
Of course you could always just get a Masters or PHd in NucE after you get your BE.

I still really like aerospace and i like planes just not as much.

UPDATE
This design has been upscaled to a 4 inch airframe, set up for dual deployment, and a surprise feature… it is 2-stage ready! The upscaled version has been renamed “Aether Osprey,” and is now available from Dragon Rocketry.

Snagged one! I might use my Red Nova kit as the booster.

Hold off. The booster that will be coming out will be awesome. Little hint Crowbar.

They went fast, hopefully you can do another run of them

I will let this here for a teaser.

Add me to the list!! Very cool 2-stage

I have my osprey just waiting on the booster early next week.. on the booster is it possible to get some tube and a nosecone to make it the nuclear Crowbar? Or is it altered in a way that's not possible? Just love having 3 rockets in one

It is modified and would not work as a crowbar. It is just a booster.
