Problem Solver

Being a problem solver to me means being dedicated to work at something until they obtain answer. You won’t give up easily and you are very determined. Some ways that I have been a problem solver is than in my algebra 1 class me and my teacher Mr. Jackson would have talks about philosophical math questions. On day I asked him what would happen if zero would be divided into a number. We had this long conversation on what would happen and what were the possibilities. Long story short we came to a conclusion that zero can be divided infinitely amount of times into nothing. It may not make since but I got my answer and I solved my question. Another way I was a problem solver was that during my first year of auto shop we learning about the engine and the oils that went in it. Our teacher said that if we didn’t have enough of a certain oil then the car wouldn’t start but I didn’t listen to him. Later on in my group we were fixing the engine and had to replace the oil. I was in charge and I ended up putting too much. My group didn’t know and we had to figure out why the car didn’t start. We check if the battery was dead, if the spark plugs were working and even the pistons. After ten’s of minutes of work we finally found out I put too much oil and we had to drain the engine. Lastly if you want to be a problem solver you must stay committed to answering you question and finding the solution.
