Learning addition for the first time, I became so amazed when my math teacher added an equation 2 and 2 equal 4 (2+2=4). 2 and 2 equal 22, 4 and 4 make 44 and these strange thoughts pushed my brain to create confusion. These types of strange thoughts sometimes made me a funny boy in the class. Probably this funny tag delivered me here today. Today, I am passionate about solving math, equations, and word problems. I can’t imagine my future without these things.
However, growing up in a third-world country, my curiosity about learning math is always busy. Getting a bicycle at 12 years old, I jumped up and down to find the velocity, radius of wheels, distance of my ride, rather than enjoying a long ride with my friends. In middle school, I Calculated the length, width, height, area, and volume of every stair of my Redfort school. Learning and solving don’t mean I was always good at math. If I have to say my failing experience in life, math always goes ahead. Math is not just plugging and chugging as many views it but it requires creativity and thinking out of the box to solve the problems encountered in the real world. Math has made the impossible possible and the once long and tedious, easy and quick. The genius of it is amazing as well as the fact that any person is capable of applying and discovering it. Even still, I draw graphs and try to make shapes from functions for fun, count to 10 to start my meal, and save money at the store. Mathematics is magic and this magic requires logic. To catch this logic, sometimes I tried to prove the wrong logic that 2+2= 22.
Tanzid, this is observant and funny, and you show how a single simple thing has carried you all the way to this point in your life. Looking forward to reading more of your longer writing.
