Describe your personality and what makes you unique? Since I am homeschooled, I have had a different experience than people in public school. Also, I have had more opportunities to teach myself. I am an outgoing person and I enjoy being around people. Although I would consider myself an extrovert, I also appreciate quiet time to myself. I am usually an optimistic person. I am a thinker more than a feeler. I am task oriented and work hard; I throw myself into my work. I get very involved in my school and and my projects outside of school. I like to challenge myself, whether in my coursework or personal projects. Like every other human being, I have my strengths and weaknesses. I know that I am not a perfect person, and that makes me who I am now. I continually strive to develop and grow myself as a person. What words best describe your character?

After his visit to a Shell Research Laboratory, my high school teacher in math told us in class that he was so happy with his education, because mathematics had helped him to understand the explanations and demonstrations that had been given by the Shell researchers.

Since I definitely wanted to have a better understanding of what was going on around me, mathematics seemed the obvious way to go. Also, if it was not much beyond high school math, then it was pretty easy in addition. What could one wish more? So I enrolled in every advanced math class offered in our high school. Pretty soon I discovered that mathematics was much more than a set of principles that helped one to solve intellectual riddles.
