I always remember one incident that reflects
one of my best moments teaching. At the end
of explaining something, and suddenly Pritika

Colleges: The Application
Process and Getting in
Try finding colleges that you might be interested in by researching on the internet, attending college visits, and talking to friends
and advisors. It would be helpful to have a
vague idea about the place that you are interested in. Websites that might be helpful to
explore include College Confidential, RateMyProfessor, Niche, etc. Theres a pretty handy
book in the library called the Fiske College
guide; go through this!
major:
Try to ask yourself what your areas of interest
are (the subject that you are most passionate
about, etc). Large US universities, most UK and
Europe colleges, and Indian colleges require
you to apply to the course you want to study
for your Bachelors degree. US universities
usually allow transferring into another course
after a while if you realise you dont like the one
youre doing; but this option isnt always available.

Speak to your college counsellor regularly and keep them updated about your plans
and your prospects. Clear out any doubts you
have and make sure that the counsellor who
is guiding you knows what YOU want to do
and what you are looking for.
Also attend college visits! It will not only give
you unknown insight into the college, but it
will also show the college representatives
that you are interested in that college, which
might greatly increase your prospects during
the application process.
Finally, start your application early. College
applications involve writing many, many essays if youre applying to the US. Dont let
deadlines stop you from applying!

Editors Note
Why physics?
I cant tell you the truth (laugh) because my
friends took Physics for graduation. Seriously,
thats the reason. Point is I wanted to become
a doctor. Having said that, teaching and medicine were on par with each other.
But in the second year when we were learning
about electricity and magnetism, I really really
started liking physics. From then onwards it
has always been physics.
You end up becoming passionate about
something after learning about it.
Exactly. Even now, I love to teach electricity
and magnetism concepts. I do. I really like
electricity more than other topics.

2) A little girl I know sells oranges from door to door.
One day while on her rounds she sold half an orange more than half her oranges to the first customer. To the second customer she sold half an orange more than half of the remainder and to the
third and the last customer she sold half an orange more than half she now had, leaving her none.
Can you tell the number of oranges she originally had? Oh, by the way, she never had to cut an
orange.

Lastly if three oranges only represent half the original number, plus half an orange,
then she must have started with [ (3x2)+1] or 7 oranges.
2) In order that the little girl should have disposed of the oranges she had remaining
after her second sale, she must have had at least one whole orange remaining so that
she could deduct from it 'half of her oranges plus half an orange', for the third and the
final sale. Therefore, if 1 orange represents half of the remaining after the second sale,
then she must have sold two oranges in her second sale, leaving the 3 oranges after
the first sale.
