It had been a very stacked week of class after class, homework after homework, the monotonous busy routine of school life. Even the triplets of the Oxygen family struggled to keep up. The three of them, Pro Ton, Neu Tron, and Elec Tron wondered their purpose in life. What is life? Why live? Why learn chemistry? Pro Ton was positive that chemistry mattered. Neu Tron couldn\u2019t decide. Elec Tron just negated everything. The three brothers were tired of having to learn about the history, culture, and functions of every one of the 118 elements of the world. It was enough having to memorize the properties of their own group of family; whether Uncle Polonium is radioactive, Aunt Sulfide is metallic, non-metallic, or metalloid, and such things. The triplets\u2019 parents told them that it was crucial to know these characteristics so that later on they could distinguish between the good and bad; whether they should bond with a certain group of elements to fit in the crowd, or whether to seek their passion and what is righteous. Eventually, optimistic Pro Ton was able to convince his brothers that chemistry matters because they mattered. After all, without them, no one would be able to live. It was okay if they could never be like Gold or Silver. God gave them the blessing of having unique talents and having friends like the Hydrogen and Lithium twins. The triplets decided that from then on, they would continue the rigorous learning and persevere through challenges in life because they knew there was a reward: the satisfaction of gaining stability. Chasing their dreams of being transparent, noble, and ionic gentlemen, they lived on.<\/p>\n
