Self as a knower

I think I am most reflected by Mathematics and Reason.

I chose mathematics as my AOK because I think I'm a math oriented person. I try to relate most of what I learn to mathematics, it comes relatively easy to me and feels very natural. It helps me a lot in soccer, it allows me to figure out where the ball will go if I kick it with a certain amount of force in a certain direction. Mathematics plays a large role in my academics as well, obviously in math, but also in other subjects such as Business and Chemistry which I immediately seem to relate to math.

The WOK I chose is reason. I think almost every decision I make, I use reason. I rarely let my emotions make take over, I mostly rely on concrete facts and i try to analyze what the effects of my decision will be. In almost every subject in school reason is the main way I answer questions, especially in History, Chemistry and TOK.
