The last part hits home where you said a Masters changes you.<br><br>With a BS , I became a high-school math teacher. For 3 years I kinda half assed things just doing the bare minimum as a job. I felt sour knowing I wasn't being challenged in maths again and only teaching content in high-school. <br><br>I decided to pursue a masters because I felt uneasy knowing that I dropped all of mathematics while becoming an instructor. This is when my work ethic changed completely . <br><br>I went back to high-school teaching with a masters and actually cared about how I teach and effort I put in class. Now I teach in college and I love putting my all into my craft.

I truly love these vids it’s been ages since I’ve seen this but I’m feeling motivated to make a physics channel to show my experience abroad in Japan pursuing physics and data science

Suddenly when going into advanced courses, the perspective on what I love, changed. I too always was the straight A student at math, but now, can’t remember when I last time felt that I am good at the subject. I always thought I love math because of the subject, but it may have been because I was better than others and loved being good at something. Math does have a special place in my heart, the feeling of holding a math book is still special for me. But now, I am less sure than ever that I have the intelligence and dedication to complete a masters, talk about a Phd. This was and is still my dream. But I feel it is far for me like it is far for you to be an astronaut. I still try, but now less impatient, and less motivated, questioning if it is still the right thing for me. <br>Maybe I am just lazy, and I don’t like to work hard. If so, it is something that I have to change in myself.

Some goals are so worthy, it's glorious even to fail. <br>Hope you get your Doctorate soon. <br>Keep sharing your journey here on youtube as it would be very motivating for me. I always wanted to challenge myself by doing mathematics but I always end up procrastinating and crushing my dreams
