The world of Physics has always intrigued me, ever since I first learned about the law of conservation of energy in middle school. The idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed but only change from one form to another fascinated me. This led me to delve deeper into the subject, reading about theories from classical mechanics to quantum physics. I found myself captivated by concepts such as Einstein's theory of relativity and Schrödinger's cat paradox. The more I learned, the more questions I had, sparking a never-ending cycle of curiosity. As I grew older, this curiosity turned into a passion. In college, I plan to major in Physics to further explore this captivating field. I aspire to one day contribute to our understanding of the universe, whether through theoretical research or practical application. To me, Physics isn't just a subject—it's a way to understand the intricate and beautiful workings of the world around us.
