Me - Math Boy

I like math. Weird right? Especially with all the drama I've had about my major. But I've actually enjoyed certain parts of math. And what I really enjoyed was the problem solving. You could fiddle around with a problem for minutes or hours just like a hand-held puzzle, but none of that time spent felt wasted once you figured out the solution. It was that love for problem solving that I decided to major in actuarial science. Eventually through a lot of trials and tribulation I settled on Math-Stats and eventually I'll get a degree with it. 

The things I learned in my math classes, however, have made me the person I am today. I just really like solving problems. I've started to view a lot of things as puzzles. And dealing with the problems as puzzles gives a sense of satisfaction once they are done. It's also made me really appreciate difficult problems. You appreciate the steps and appreciate the final answer.

After all, as a great many philosopher and author has said: what matters is the journey.
