I study because I really want to.

I study because I absolutely want to know how the world works. I took the subjects I wanted because those were the ones that interested me most.

I don’t study to pass tests (not that I’m willing to accept failing in any), I study because i want to know more about the world.

In order to change the world, one has to know how it works first. That’s what studying does for me.

Mathematics is so consistent that diverse ideas are all interrelated in amazing, almost terrifying ways. When Physics experiments agree with theory before my eyes, I get that feeling of bliss that makes me teary, something which I don’t usually get from anything else. When Chemistry that is taught corresponds with daily-life experiences, it strikes a chord in me somewhere, which makes me teary-eyed again.

The feeling of realising that I now really knowing how something works is so great, that I can barely control it. And I can hardly control the teary-eyed thing, which is what really happens to me at such moments.

The likes of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are what provide us with daily comforts and services. Although it is true that all that rests on a system based on money and commerce, the product that is being traded is – in the end – a product of Science.

And that’s the reason I took Science in the eleventh grade, because I wanted to advance our world in a fundamental way before leaving for good.

I want to leave the world in a better state than the one in which I found it.
