A  Lover  of  Science 

 At the age of 6, she fiddled with ‘magic squares’ and cheered with her father after cracking a seemingly difficult mathematical problem.

 At the age of 7, she murdered two tortoises in her fist ‘biological experiment’.

 At the age of 8, she learned to build model ships and handle circuits and saws with a dozen of boys in her class.

 At the age of 9, she was fascinated by algebra and geometry that her father taught her.

 At the age of 10, her father presented her with the equation E=mc² and she set up an English Internet science file of her own, complete with information about astronomy, mathematics, biology and physics, etc.  

 At the age of 11, she recited 80 digits of pi, studied ‘A Brief History of Time’, watched science TV programs for hours and indulged herself in optical illusions, topology and probability.

 Now, she is mad about biology. She says that her dream is to become a biologist, but if this dream can’t be fulfilled, then she will try to become a mathematician…or a physicist…or…a scientist whatsoever.

 Indeed, she is always crazy about science. She is attracted to science like the iron to the magnet. There are few girls who enjoy science, as some people say, and she is probably one of those few females. To her, science glows brightly like the Northern Star even in the darkest nights, pointing out the correct way for mankind and bringing hope, strength and beauty to the world. Science can drive away our ignorance, providing us with rational wisdom at the same time. Science can give reasonable explanations to daily phenomena, instead of drawing absurd conclusions, such as ‘the moon is made of cheese’. Science demands responsibility, sacrifice and love for humankind. Science is sacred power.

 And that girl is me, a lover of science.
