While all the other children cried about the math saying it was too hard or boring I on the other hand enjoyed it. This followed me to high school and even then nothing changed. Not even the crying everyone still fell over at the site of a big math formula or equation. But it wasn’t until my junior year of high school when I met my physics teacher who is still my mentor to this day. He truly showed me the wonders and joy that math could offer. We taught me more than I could have ever imagine. We not only talk about what all the formulas and equations meant but after class, we would spend our lunch period solely discussing how those formulas and equations were derived which typically meant higher level math upwards of calculus 1 and 2. All of this while a junior in high school. This really motivated me to want to learn more. I grew to become a student who didn’t just want to know all the formulas and equations but to have a fundamental understanding of how they were derived and used. Even to this day I’m learning new and amazing thing about math every day and to be perfectly honest am not sure how I would like to utilize it. The thing with math is that it’s a very big field and I enjoy all of it so narrowing down a career is hard but what I know for certain is that it’s going to be in the stem
