I have got one question...
Why do you study Physics?
I guess the reason can't be money :D

Hi, Oloria. Actually in my high school years I do like chemistry and my physics grade is very low. When I entered college and take the entrance exam I got a high score in physics that's why they give me Physics as my course. In my first year it's really a struggle but when as years pass I realize that physics is the most lovable and likable subject that you can study.
Why did you ask me about money thing?

I didn't ask. I just mentioned it because of my psyche. Never mind.
I suppose there are many people that study (or studied) Physics. Why did you choose Physics, folks?
