My Passion For Mathematics

Since my years in middle school, I had fostered an intense passion toward Mathematics particularly, as well as other natural science disciplines in general. Therefore, it had been my anticipation since then to select a career in the realm of STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics); however, which exact career was still an uncertainty. My interest varied inconsistently throughout my early years in high school, as I initially wanted to become a pharmacist, and subsequently a high school math teacher. Momentarily, I also became skeptical about my passion toward Mathematics since I was clueless about whether I enjoyed the subject simply because I excelled at it or I truly liked it. Such a doubt stuck with me for a while until my Junior year in high school when I had the …show more content…
Given each time before we studied a new concept, Mr. Claydon’s unique exploration activities had triggered my curiosity to its fullest, and I realized how passionate I was toward Mathematics each time I successfully discovered a pattern to solve a difficult problem. With my sole passion accompanied with the practical knowledge I had assimilated in his class, the primary concept my future career, in which I would be able to enjoy my interest while benefit a greater community, started to develop. Mr. Claydon and I often exchanged conversations about the mathematical practicability in the field of engineering during my Senior year, and he encouraged me to conduct a search about different engineering disciplines to determine a suitable career choice for me. Coincidently, I found myself sharing many characteristics required to be a mechanical engineer, and the discipline also involves an extensive use of Mathematics. Therefore, I have decided to select mechanical engineering as the career I want to
