I received 3rd Prize in the National Physics Olympiad in high school.
It has 3 major impacts on the future:
1, Fortified my foundation of game engine physics/simulation, which helped me to be a game developer.
2, Inspired one of my
future project ideation - the VR sandbox.
3, Forged one of my greatest regrets during undergrad, I received a B in Physics Intro since I missed all letures. Because I was too naive and overconfident, I saw all tests and exams were way too childplays, then I no longer attend any lectures.
