Aww I read some of her novels back in junior secondary school. fergie001: Popularly known as 'Ababio chemistry'. I remember when my teacher was challenging us and he told us about a legendary student that read Ababio chemistry from beginning to end four times. As one of the top students in class I thought, if that guy could do it, then I should also be able to do it. I went and borrowed Ababio chemistry from my classmate with the purpose of reading it from beginning to end. But even before I finished the first quarter of the textbook I could not continue, because I could not keep up with the countless chemical formulas and equation. They were just too many and it was impossible for me to memorize them. When I eventually took up physics textbook and saw how I couldn't stop studying it, I came to the conclusion that I was more of a physicist. 7 Likes |
