What Motivates Me to Learn Chemistry

To be honest, I'm not a science person at all. In the past, there haven't been any units or activities in science class that even remotely interested me. On top of a lack of interest, I was never very good at science, especially a class that is entirely conceptual, like biology. But when I learned that chemistry was more math-based than bio, I was excited. Math has always been something that came relatively easily to me, and I was eager to see how math could be applied to science.

I think the fact that chemistry combines so much mathematics is a motivational factor for me because I find it more interesting and less challenging. I'm also motivated because chemistry has such an impact on everday life, and I think that the lessons learned in this class will benefit me in the future.

While I'd like to say that grades aren't a motivational factor, they definitely are. I know that I have to maintain my GPA in order to get into a good college, so this also motivates me to do well in chemistry.
