To be honest, science subjects uh, have not been my advantages except for math. But when it’s come to a uh, science subject that I dislike the most, I would say it is chemistry. I have started to learn these subject in grade eight. Uh, actually I had heard a lot about how hard this subject is, but because of these reasons I really feel like mastering in it. In the be beginning I really put all my effort and attention to this mhm. But it was just a short period. Then later I became distracted andotivating to engage in chemistry. As a result, I found it really complex and challenging, especially understanding the chemical bonding and memorizing various reactions. Also their names. I consistently got poor score on tasks uh related to chemistry topics. To try and deal with my struggles, I studied through online video on YouTube and other study platforms. It really worked in my secondary school years. However, in high school, no matter how hard I tried, my performance in chemistry didn’t seem to recover. Mhm. Ultimately this unit is ah, a frustration and made me questioning about whether I was cut out for scientific study.

To be honest, science subjects haven't been my strong suit, except for math. But when it comes to a science subject I disliked the most, I would say it's chemistry. I started learning it in eighth grade. I had heard a lot about how difficult it was, but that actually motivated me to master it. In the beginning, I really put all my effort and attention into it. But it was just a short period. Later, I became distracted and lost motivation to engage with chemistry. As a result, I found it really complex and challenging, especially understanding chemical bonding and memorizing various reactions and their names. I consistently got poor scores on tasks related to chemistry topics. To try and deal with my struggles, I studied through online videos on YouTube and other study platforms. It really worked in my secondary school years. However, in high school, no matter how hard I tried, my performance in chemistry didn't seem to improve. Ultimately, this subject was a source of frustration and made me question whether I was cut out for scientific study.
