New Chances makes Few Changes.

As a Literature specialized student in Le Hong Phong High school for the Gifted, I used to believe, as everyone else in my society, that I am not gifted at those science subjects like math, physics, chemistry, etc,... Doing scientific research is totally out of the question. However, in summer 2017, one of my friends dared me to apply to a science camp in Quy Nhon province and guessed who would be accepted. I accepted that challenge and, surprisingly, I won. That was the turning point that brought me to the path of scientific researching. Coming back from the trip, I decided to apply what I learned by participating the Intel Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) of my school. The first step is the hardest. I did not know what topic I should study about. But once again, luck was by my side. I surfed the Internet and came across a video which presented a process of producing plastic food; what surprised me, however, was that numerous people shared that clip these kinds of following captions: “Some bad people with vile purpose are selling that food to kill us”. Incredulous, I looked for information on Google, only to have found that no bad people want to kill us; rather, it was just some kind of Japan's processing technology. That was not the first time I have felt uncomfortable with several individuals sharing news without double-checking the facts. That is an indication of lacking critical thinking (CT). This sparked an idea in me, and I went with CT right away. Then, I had a nice partner, two wonderful mentors, and numerous kind people (even strangers) who was next to me in that difficult reaching the summit trip. Those extraordinary supports are valuable motivation which fuels me to run farther on the scientific researching path, until now. There are no chances and no changes if I did not change my mindset and give myself a chance. Be willing to be exposed, you can fly so far. . Biopage Mini-Essay Writing Contest is my new chance. Absolutely, the upcoming changes are bigger, better and brighter than that of the past.
