Learning math from the age of four has helped me develop an interest and excellence in math over the years. The Vietnamese have a saying: "You don't have to be smart but by working diligently, you can achieve what you want." Even though I am not naturally good at math, finding a love of this subject and an interest in practicing new problems every day has benefited me in mastering the subject that many people think is boring and tiresome. Having a foundation of math before starting school led me to my elementary schools math team. Because each student in this team was selected very carefully, there were always competitions going on between us. In order to compete at math with other students, I motivated myself not only to attempt various math problems from folk math to IQ math to practical math, but also to try different solutions for one question. The more I learn math, the more appealing it appears to me as I realize the huge impact math has on every aspect of life. Math can be really simple from calculating money in the market to being highly advanced in scientific study. Thus, from my perspective, math does not stop at a core class in school, but it is an enthusiastic adventure to discover the way I apply what I attain from class in practice. Therefore, I rarely let myself give up on the problem, even if it takes me until the early morning to find the answer. Besides my math teacher, I find the Internet to be a useful source when I cannot deduce the solution. Since I want to become a nurse, maths role in my future life becomes more essential. A nurse has to carry out the doctors instructions and use math concepts daily to calculate the appropriate dosage for patients. It is not a problem I can correct if I am wrong but it is a matter of either saving or killing a patient. Besides, nursing also requires me to excel in some science courses such as chemistry and biology. As math involves and connects these science subjects, I became m
