Question: What about science fascinates you?
Answer: What I like about science is the fact that it is so complex, that we keep having new discoveries, and how little we've uncovered about it so far. I'm also fascinated by the spirit and mindset of the pioneers, like Einstein and Darwin, because they introduced completely novel ideas.
Question: What hobbies or extra-curricular activities do you enjoy and why?
Answer: I like to read because I enjoy the thrill. I like fencing because it's a challenging sport. I like to come up with new ideas because no one has ever thought of them before, and they exert my mind.
Question: What career do you want to pursue and why?
Answer: I want to be an engineer and a scientist on the side, solving theoretical questions like "Is there a theoretical highest temperature?" I would like to do this because of the challenges and mind-bending problems.
Question: What is your favorite school subject?
Answer: Math
