Let me tell you about chemistry, which is a subject I used to hate but now have a lot of interest in.
Dating back to my 8th grade when we were first introduced to the subject, most of the students, including me, were really excited at the chance to make stuff explode or at least change color. However, our hopes and dreams were quickly crushed during our first chemistry class, when our teacher gave each of us the periodic table and laid down a thick stack of paper full of theoretical exercises. Looking at the table, my mind automatically shut down at the giant amount of knowledge we had to learn, including 118 elements and their molecular masses, densities and boiling points.
The first semester was miserable as chemistry required a lot of memorization. Even though it took us ages to learn all the materials by heart, I finally managed to memorize most of the periodic table after a while. Interestingly enough, I soon realized that there was not much logical thinking involved in chemistry like in math or physics. Chemistry exercises started to become much easier. Plus, our teacher finally allowed us to do the flashy experiments we always wanted to do. That’s how chemistry transformed from one of the most boring subjects to one of my favorites for the rest of my high school years.
