I have always loved science. I was introduced to it in school when I was in the 5th grade (around 10 years old), but my love for science began even before that. I used to gather different electronic components like lights, capacitors, resistors, and motors. I was fond of remote-controlled cars as a child, but I couldn't afford them; they cost around $1 at that time. However, my grandfather bought me a small affordable Chinese calling toy (link: [Chinese calling toy]). In my childhood, I always dreamed of having a remote-controlled car, but my wish was never fulfilled.

But I like repairing things instead of buying new ones because you can understand how they work and what's inside. I also love nature. In fact, I didn't eat eggs for a few years. Now I eat almost any meat that is edible for humans. Oh, right, back to the remote-controlled car. I have always loved electronic things regardless of what the device is. If it's electronic, I like it. I even like TV remotes.

After my father got a TV, I only watched BBC, NGC Discovery, and History TV18 because those channels have content related to science. Apart from science channels, I used to watch some cartoons like Beast Wars: Transformers, Ninja Hattori, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

From my childhood, I noticed one thing about myself—I am different from the people around me; I am unique; I don't belong here.
