There comes a time in life when every young person needs to choose an interest, one hobby or skill that defines them. My time came at the beginning of my freshman year. Like any high school freshman, I was being pushed to find a club or activity that best suited me. I, however, decided that I didn't want to be good at one thing, I wanted to be good at everything.
I decided that I wanted to dive into everything from painting to chemistry, and I wanted to be great at it all. Did I succeed in becoming the master of all subjects? Obviously not, I've had areas I wasn't skilled in, but I did learn as much as possible from every subject, and I tried my hardest in subjects that I loved.
For example, I graduated from a specialized media arts program; I was a counselor at a science and technology camp; I'm currently writing a novel; I've been taking advanced math classes; and I …show more content…
I believe that challenging yourself in every subject makes someone truly get the most out of school. Pushing yourself equally in the sciences and in the arts is how a student gains an important set of skills that balances the analytical and creative parts of the brain. I have learned from my four years of high school that the best way to approach a problem is with both the rational and artistic part of your mind. I can use math skills to help make stimulating art, and creating skills to engineer in science, because I fully understand each type of learning.
How can I apply this now? Well, I want to be a high school science teacher, so I believe all my interests will be important in creating the best classroom I can. I will have to use my math and science background to understand my subject, my English background can be used to effectively explain the sciences, the technological background can help me present and approach information in a more modern process, and an artistic and creative knowledge can really help make a science class more interesting and
