Learn MoreWhy They Love Being a Student
Salo loves to learn new things, especially science. With new knowledge, he continues to seek answers on how does it work, and how was it built. Even going so far as to how can it be used for other uses or how to make it work differently. The more he learns, the more questions arise. We purchased a phonograph at a garage sale. Since we have plenty of albums we began to listen to them. Salo's intrigue over how it worked was sheer joy and curiosity. He could be called a young renaissance man.
Favorite Subject & Why
Salo's favorite subject is science because science is not only interesting to him, it includes many subjects: engineering, chemistry, physics, astronomy, astrophysics, etc. Although Salo may not always be familiar with all these subjects per se, he will ask questions due to his curiosity that fall into these genres.
