Whats your best and worst subject?
Best subject during this year is my chemistry class, worst would have to be Spanish 3.
Why do you like them?]
I absolutely love the processes involved before any experimentation is even done. And then I get a rush of joy once we actually do the experiments, which I go through mechanically as my mind thinks of so many wonderful and refreshing ideas. This class, and the homework assigned with it, is my official "happy place". I start my school days with this as my first period of the day, which is a great way to wake up. Seriously reconsidering being an astronomer because of it.
Are you good at maths?
I'm consider myself decent with mathematics. I am in a slightly more advanced class and love the processes involved with the subject. I wish only that I was better at math and hope to improve as the years go on.
Do you consider yourself smart?
I consider myself academically intelligent, for there are many different ways one person could be classified as smart. I lack common sense from time to time though. I pride myself on my knowledge of the world that I already hold at this age, and for my passion to continually learn more information whether through academics or through the hardships of life (I have a good amount of wisdom for my age from the life I have led and the people I have met and helped along the way).
Whats your best and worst subject?
Philosophy, Biology, Physics - Best
Italian - Worst (terrible teacher)
Why do you like them?
Cuz they are fucking awsome xD
Are you good at maths?
I'm great at maths, but the school program and my teacher are killed it for me...
Do you consider yourself smart?
Well, throughout my whole life people were reffering to me as 'smart but lazy', 'mature for his age', 'intelligent', 'genius' (way to often said by some teachers) and similar. From my friends to my family and the school teachers.
So, I don't know what to say. I am either really smart, or I just leave that impression on people.
P.S. I am not a bookworm (at least I wasn't up until recently), so I never impressed someone with my knowlege, only with creative thinking...
Edit: When someone gives you a compliment you want to belive it even if you don't think its true. If the compliment repeats often, you start beliving it.
for me I am very good understanding the hardest stuff like quantum theory or astronomical concepts etc.
Even at grade school I was good at losing marks for the easiest and very good at solving hardest problems (for an average student at my age)
Worst may be maths. I like physics and chemistry and any other subject with HUGE gaps in understanding because I like to think about those to come up with a my own understanding on the subject.
But there is an exception for maths in me that is if the particular area is something I need in the future I am very good at those areas. I have no intention on those mechanical math stuff so I am not good at them.
I love to know how they have come up with a particular formula or theorem rather than memorizing the theorem or formula. WHICH is exactly what made me fail Math subject![]()
And yes, i do consider my self as kinda smart in the terms of understanding some advanced concepts, im a quick learner, and I have a good imagination, I can do any task within the given period of time and I do know a lot more than some average person of my age. (too bad I can't directly go to MSc or PHd)
and I like computer science...i really am good at that onealso I tend to do easy parts using a complex way and some complex thing using an easy way. I think I really should be focusing on harder ones..
SO I like philosophy,chemistry,astronomy,physics, (math) , languages, (science it is... :D)
Lol at the funny British people putting an "S" on MATH.![]()
Best: Philosophy, English, Politics
Worst: Phys Ed
Favorite: Drama (does that count?)
For the first year of high school, there was some miraculous fluke and I was at the top of my math class. But in second year I sat beside a math genius (he happened to be INTP) who never did his work and still got A pluses...and insisted on talking to me all the time. Being the lazy INTP I am I gave in, and, well...you can guess what happened to my mark!And my math skills never recovered.
I didn't mind math actually, but I can't say I'm fond of it either. I learned voraciously as a child, but despite that, the only subject I truly had no interest in at all was math. Odd perhaps, because I loved science.
Best: foreign languages
Worst: physical education (Oh, I am supposed to be chasing that ball? Why should I do that? You know you really can't force me to do that!)

Whats your best and worst subject?
So far, I'm best at English. I used to be good in math but now i fail at it. I hate PE.
Why do you like them?
English is super easy, writing about the given subject, using your kick ass vocabulary. It's also interesting to read some stories.
Are you good at maths?
If it's below Algebra, then yes.
Do you consider yourself smart?
Heck no, i just have a lot of 'resources' (my thoughts).
best was law and the worst for me was music... yuk
Whats your best and worst subject?
Best: Art, Maths, English, Music, Physics
Worst: French, Drama
Why do you like them?
Because they're the things I enjoy the most, I suppose. I've no idea what I'm going to do as a career, I'm already hitting hurdles in this college course...
Are you good at maths?
I'm pretty good at it.
Do you consider yourself smart?
I'm often referred to as 'intelligent but unusually lazy'.
Although, when I first started nursery and school, I still babbled instead of spoke, so everyone thought I was a bit slow, to put it mildly.
