      I enjoyed physics the most in school, I liked doing the experiments and seeing how simple equations could predict results, like using Snell’s law of refraction to predict where a light ray would come out of a piece of glass, predicting the amount the glass with change the light’s direction.
      I also enjoyed learning about particle physics and astronomy, but I always found that the curriculum wouldn’t give us time to properly learn how things like quantum mechanics and relativity worked, which is why I decided to do physics at university.
