The shoulders of the giants
I’m born and raised up in Taiwan, a small country next to China. Since we were in our young age, we had already have a sense to compete each other in our academic. We had to study day and night, spending most of our time diving in the textbooks and getting good grades. It was a world that only use grade to value a person.
Our home is right across an elementary school and also a junior high school nearby. Therefore our family took the advantage, and started their tutorial business. Most of my family members are excellent teachers, so they had a high expectation on me. Since I’m the only grandson in the family, to live up to their expectations, I had to study hard even over vacations. I spent most of my childhood

I met physics in my junior year, at first I thought it was just a subject that only dealt with numbers and formulas. But I’m wrong. By doing physics problems daily, I stared to get familiar with this subject and the most important thing was I started to think. Because of my teacher’s excellent lecture and detailed explanations, I had a further and deeper understanding of the true secret of physics. Formulas were no longer just something to memorized, but a special type of equation that has their significant meaning about how the universe functioned. The extensive and profound of physics had made me breath taking. I started to understand why the physicists spend their lifetime pursuing of truth with hope and …show more content…
This quote had always light up my passion in physics, our physics teacher always said “no physics then you died”, and this is true, because every phenomenon we experienced is physics. I’m so interested and passionate to this subject that I have to spend more than an hour a day, just enjoying doing all kinds of the physics problem. The more challenged of the problem, the more accomplishment I get. During my free time, I would go on websites that has many facts dealing with science and shared it with friends who has common interest. We would find a hard problem, and discus it for whole day together, but the main reason of doing this is not for the answer, but making progress and find out a better method to solve a problem. We got life lessons by solving these problem, such as detail-oriented, because carless can lead you to a huge disaster. Missing a digit or a unit in the test would at most let you got a bad grade, but what if it’s in the real life, our carless of small detail, can make a building collapsed, an airplane crash, or even started a war. Therefore I learned many stuff from just physics
