How was your journey to a Science/Math Olympiad?

Science and Math were the scariest subjects in my academics. Being a kid of 5th class, I used to find it very difficult to remember the theoretical reasons for few topics in Science and solve the Logical problems in Math. In our school we came across the Olympiad Exams through one of the Olympiad coordinator. Our teachers encouraged us to participate. Yes, I was the participant too. I got my name enrolled for the Olympiad. At the beginning, I had terrible anxiety of how I was going to perform in the exam. But, the learning process became simpler when I referred Olympiad books and Olympiad Old Sample Papers. It did not make me feel of having any extra tutorials for Olympiad or any tutor to make me learn. I myself prepared a schedule for the topics which I was lacking in. Along with learning new topic I kept on brushing up the existing knowledge that I had. This thorough practice helped me a lot in improving the scores in Science and Math subject. Not only in the Olympiad but also in the academics my scores got improved. I remember solving out the Logical Reasoning Section of the Olympiad Book which I felt was more interesting. I got to learn many new facts and logics behind almost everything that goes around. The journey to Science / Math Olympiad started with a fear but as the day passed, repeated efforts made that fear vanish.
