#6 - Describe your favorite academic subject and explain how it has influenced you.
My favorite academic subject would be math. I consider math to be a fundamental aspect of life as well as a very applicable subject to learn.
Ever since I was little I feel I had had excelled in math, and in areas where I found it difficult I managed to pick up on it pretty quickly.
Throughout my life in school, from 2nd grade to current day, I’ve always found a way to look at math situations as puzzles that were needed to be solved. There was always a challenge to them, something to aspire to work to and accomplish.
Because of this, math is always there. There’s always a problem to be solved, with open ended opportunities to involve it in one’s life. With this mindset that I have aquired for it, I learned that I am someone who would want math to be involved in my future career choice, despite the fact I have no idea what one of those careers would be.
But thanks to the great math teachers I’ve had in my life, I was able to have the desire to continue with math in my life.
