I like chemistry because the process of leaning the essence of substances is as exciting as solving a challenging puzzle. Working in my research lab is even more pleasant because I feel like I can finally apply the knowledge in textbooks and explore something unknown in the scientific field. My peers, my lab mates and the professors in the chemistry department are incredibly patient and helpful when they guided me through the difficulties I encountered whether in study or in life.
