Summary
Physics has always been the most thought provoking subject I learned during high school. I loved to think about and study the rules that governed this universe. My dream was to put my thoughts into test by conducting quantitative research in a physics lab. In senior year of high school, I studied supernova using observations done by highly advanced radio telescopes, and since then I always yearned for the opportunity to conduct further research under more rigorous procedures, and also touch upon other fields of physics.
