Throughout my school classes, I have always loved math. Something about it always made sense to me unlike other fields of study. While science is constantly changing, history can be biased (depending on the perspective) and English is very interpretive (especially poetry), it didn’t matter what process you used, math would always come down to a solid, undebated, non-arguable answer. I started basic math using the common core process which confused my parents more than me. With homework, my dad would always say that math was math and then show me the way he was taught how to solve it. However, I had to explain to him how we were shown to solve the problems so I would get full credit. It wasn't until I was in 4th grade when I started playing a math-based video game called Prodigy that I realized I was good at math. I quickly reached a high school level problem and got stuck, but even then, I was still wanting more. By my junior year of high school, I thought I could not advance any further after taking AP calculus courses. However, I somehow went to an AP physics class during my lunch period and saw that they were using applied mathematics to solve problems. Now as a senior, I am these AP physics classes as well as AP statistics and AP Discrete mathematics. I have also discovered that my math skills can be used in the business and financial sectors. What better way to translate your math experience than through working with money? I cannot wait to see what college brings.
