Personal Statement: Part C. Secondary School Math Contest
With a deep love of mathematics and physics, I am never satisfied with an easy answer that a formula would determine; I look for a true and contextual understanding of how mathematical methods are derived. In my free time, I enjoy solving past math contests and find great satisfaction in conquering “Part C” problems. As a senior member of my school’s math club, I have represented my school at the B.C. Secondary School Mathematics Contest and consistently earn top scores on monthly Canadian National Mathematics League contests. I have ranked annually in the top 25% of all contestants in the University of Waterloo Pascal, Cayley, and Fermat Mathematics Contest. Moreover, I have a passion for building things and solving problems. It started from
assembling Lego skyscrapers to soldering my own electronics circuit boards from scratch and constructing robots. In my school’s Robotics Club, I serve as the Grade 12 team leader. As a club, we are working with VEX Robotics and programming with Arduino. The sense of success and achievement when one finally get a script to work the way one wants cannot be expressed in words. Currently, I am fabricating battle robots and a bomb disposal robot from scratch.
