Math and Science are two of my most favorite subjects growing up.  Why? Because you don’t need to memorize a lot of things in these subjects, well except in biology where one has to memorize cell parts and cycles.  In my almost four years in high school, Math and Science have always been the subjects that I appreciate and in turn excelled in.

Math I believe is my forte while science just comes in second.  I may not have the highest grades in these subjects but what matters is that I am interested in learning everything about them.  What makes Math easy for me to understand is a logical approach where concepts are understood and applied to others in finding solutions.  In math, everything counts, every lesson is related to each other.  For example, in basic algebra and proving trigonometric functions, sometimes you need to transpose, divide and factor the functions to prove that they are equal.    

Math is one of my favorite school subjects because I can relate almost anything with Math and almost everything needs Math, like physics, computer programming, chemistry,
economics and lots of other things. My friend once even related math to love.  But having a curious mind I also love Science.  Learning how things work or how things came to be always interests me.  Medals and certificates cannot prove that you are a good at a subject. Only the person himself would know how well he does.  And the bottom line is how their own knowledge is used in improving the lives not just of themselves but of others as well.
