Not always trying to see things in conventional ways and with conventional results can help you to better appreciate set standards and norms in a new way, both for their flaws and qualities.

...also my favorite subjects to learn. I love Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, and Math. Its great fun to be able to teach what you love, and I look forward to working with new students on these subjects.
