My Path into Physics (at MIT)

I have known I wanted to be an engineer since I was maybe 4 years old or younger, I struggled with dyslexia so math and science we're focuses in my life and came easier to me. I got into highschool and got to take mechanical engineering courses. They were fun and I loved the hands on side of them. My senior year my chemistry teacher told me she was starting a new class she thought I should take and it was a material science engineering class. It was a combination of everything I loved and I was hooked. I got into college for material science engineering and I just didn't enjoy it. It was really focused on the industrial side to it like analysis of structures post failure, composition of industrial metals ECT. It wasn't really what I wanted to do with my life but it's still one of my favorite things to learn. This past semester I changed my major to physics because I remember having the most fun and interesting time learning physics. I figured if I learn how the universe works at the atomic level and all levels it will better my understanding of how materials work. I'm now more hooked into physics than I think I have been on anything, I still hope to someday get back into material science with maybe a master's or just getting another degree. But so far for me physics just continues to blow my mind each and every day and I can't get enough of it. It's amazing what you are doing, YouTubers like you that teach me more and more are what keep my up late at night, bloodshot eyes and tired but unable to stop watching more and more videos. Keep it up, YouTube is becoming a great aid to better my understanding of all material, and I know how hard it is to digest these tough subjects and spit them back at the viewers so that it's much easier to understand, we all appreciate the hard work you put in!
