He dropped out without graduating.Next, Charles father sent him to school to become a minister(牧师). This time he made it to graduation, but he didnt want to do the work of a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science.Luckily, Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist after graduation. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. Their task was to make maps of the places they visited.On December 27th, 1831. Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle.
