Strength and power are two different things to me. Strength only affects you, and yourself. Strength is how you handle yourself, what you think, what you do, what inspires you. Think of strength as what is inside, the chocolate chips in a cookie. Power affects everyone who comes into contact with you. Power is how you treat others, how you help them or teach them. Power is the cookie dough, it’s what everybody sees, but it's not necessarily what's important. Every cookie has dough. Not every cookie has chocolate chips. This section will be focusing on my strengths, what affects me and makes me want to grow and become a better person.
My power is curiosity, and my power seems to have an affinity for STEM subjects. The great thing about curiosity is that it is infinite, and it never wants to stop growing and absorbing more information. I am fortunate in that I live in the age of the internet, with all its memes and online resources. I like to use this great resource to not only watch Netflix, but to supplement the curiosity in me that keeps asking for more information. I try to use and apply what I learn to my daily life, although this is quite hard in the case of some of my favorite subjects, like quantum particles and biomedicine. Nevertheless, I try to do things like use a simulator or join the robotics team to grow my strengths in these subjects. I want to educate myself, and I constantly set barriers for myself because of my curiosity.
So my curiosity led to my pursuit of STEM subjects and my determined spirit towards learning about these subjects. This power, and its subpowers, make me want to do more things. My curiosity wants me to learn more about things and stops me from getting bored, my relentless keeps me going towards my goals, and my interest in STEM subjects makes me want to pursue subjects that will help others. I want to research things like CRISPR (a gene editing tool and one of my favorite nerd topics) and think of ways to use this technology to solve the issues of the world. I want to use my powers to educate myself while helping others, which leads into the next topic, how I empower others, how my strengths affect my power.
