Explaining my interests


Interviewer: Explain your interest in science?

Me: My interest in science stems from my hatred of it as a child. I thought i was awful at it and i never fully understood the concepts. I didn't ever like my science teachers and i never had fun in the class. But as i got older, i realized that science was my best subject. I never put much effort into it because i didn't like it, but i was good at it. And so i thought to myself, "I wonder how well i could do if i actually took the time to study?" So i did. I dedicated more time to studying and rereading my notes. I put more effort in class and asked questions and i saw how interesting it actually was. I'm very logically based. I'm less of a creative thinker and more of a concrete idea thinker. Science goes perfectly with that. There's so many questions about the world, and science has an answer for all of them. It just enthralls me when i can pick out an idea and find a reason for it. I love knowing, i love love learning. Science is the best way to learn. It is the most extensive opportunity to learn and broaden your mind. It just feels good to know. I think mitosis is fascinating. Learning the blood flow of the heart, and arteries made my entire week. Everyone i know, also knows the path of blood flow because i talked about it so much. Science has an answer for how we are made, our development, the air we breathe and why we need to breathe that, the chemicals that surround us and so much more. And i love most that science is not bias. If something comes up that can better explain an idea, it either replaces our current understanding or broadens it. With religion, science has gone back and forth. No one knows for sure whether or not there is some superior being, but no scientist discredits religion, because they understand that theologians have logical reasoning behind the possibility of some greater being. One of the greatest scientists to ever live- Stephen Hawking- even admits there has to be something greater than us. Science breaks ignorance. I love that.
