When I was about 13 my parents took me to the Parkes radio Telescope. Much to their dismay a few weeks later I announced that when I finished highschool I wanted to be an astrophysicist to which they replied "dont be stupid sweetie you're dreadful at mathematics" but then the following birthday they purchased me a tiny little telescope which was about half the quality of a pair of binoculars, but determined I still used it to look at the moon. The most amazing moment of my life I still stand by, was looking at the sombrero galaxy through a 12" Lightbridge. I dont know what it is about it but I think its the most beautiful thing in the universe. (apart from Leonard Nimoy...)
