Biology Personal Statement

During my walk in Oral Robert University, I have discovered new adventures and paths that lead me to believe Jesus is and will always be the best thing that ever happened to me. In my discipline, which is biology, I have seen and experience many ups and downs, I have heard the mentality of some of my school mates when they tell me their view between biology and Christianity. Thankfully I never doubted about my beliefs. I am thankful I did not mix my knowledge of biology and my faith with Jesus in a way that I would have to stop believing either one. I love biology, but I love Jesus the most. Instead, biology did in fact helped me realize the amazing creation of our God behind every part of science. How do we show that to the rest of biologist out there? It is important to switch the presupposition that goes against or in different ways to Christianity, to ultimately reveal the truth to even those who are strongly opposed to Christ in the scientific world; introducing a Christian Theism world, and finally guide their beliefs and actions towards the living Christ.

​Ever since I was a child, I have loved science. I learned at a young age to always keep asking questions and to never settle with just simply not knowing something. The thought of how everything works on a molecular level never ceases to fascinate me. I have other interests spanning multiple fields, but none can compare to my love of science. I quite enjoy being in the labs and getting to do experiments to uncover answers that were otherwise unknown to me. It is that curiosity and interest that keeps my fascination towards the realm of science strong.

I am interested in environmental studies as a potential major and want to learn more about this field in a professional setting. Through my Human Evolution, Environmental Science, and AP Biology courses, I have become familiar with ecology and evolution. While the Community-Based Ecology in the Galápagos project looks at these fields from a philosophical standpoint, it will provide me with practical experience and invaluable insights as I decide my major and future career path

Biomed Academy at my high school will be the most contributing factor to attain my goal. This academy has changed my perspective about medicine career. I have gained tons of knowledge from BioMed academy in these high school years. This will help me to attain my goal, because the knowledge gained from this academy will help me to be a successful medical professional. The principle of Health Science, Health Science, CNA, psychology, Biology, and anatomy and physiology are classes that prepared me to be an eligible Pre-Med applicant. I have learned from the basic structures of the body to the complex structure of the body, and from classroom to hands-on experience at the rehabilitation center. These years in BioMed Academy will help me to attain

The high school senior year is indeed a rough year. Students are overwhelmed with stress applying for colleges, having their fingers crossed to be accepted in their first choice college. The primary step before applying for colleges is selecting which college best suits them in pursuing their dream career. Sometimes, more than half of the students dream of being in the medical field, satisfying that there’s still people in the world that want to help out others, and what’s better than helping them with their health. The hardest part of graduating includes that some learners are afraid of leaving their family and hometown, Arizona. It’s great that there are universities that can help undergraduates out in reaching their dream career.

As I was growing up, James Madison University has been a college that I always planned on attending. On road trips, I would always get excited as we would pass through Harrisonburg. For some reason, though, I decided not to attend. This year I have realized that my heart truly does belong at James Madison University. The school is beautiful and it is perfect for my career path. My dream is to become a Pediatric Occupational Therapist and after further research, I feel like James Madison is the perfect place to fulfill that dream. Thinking about the possibility of attending James Madison University next year gives me a feeling of contentment that I have not felt in a long time. I have been researching James Madison a lot recently, and I am very

I grew up in a family full of people who work in the science field, such as nurses, cat-scan

For as long as I can remember I've always had an interest in helping those that are unable to help themselves, especially animals. By completing a degree in Animal Biology I hope to further my knowledge on the animals that I'm so passionate about, so that I can help them more efficiently and instead of just taking them to a person for the care , I can be the person that heals them and cares for them. A couple of the core skills I hope to acquire by completing this program are problem solving skills,diagnostic, and critical thinking skills, all of which are extremely important in the field.While I'm completing my classes I plan to participate in an internship at a veterinarian clinic for experience and to see what being out in the field feels

Since I was first exposed to the subject of biology in junior middle school, I have fallen in love with life sciences. I bought a light microscope and used it to observe materials at my fingertips, such as leaves and slices of meat. After I became a university student, I dive deeper, down to cell and molecular levels in cell and molecular biology (CMB) program. A passionate professor I met in my cell biology course has motivated me a lot.

Aside from having an interest in biochemistry i have many other interests and hobbies. I play cricket for harrow and am enrolled in badminton and swimming clubs which requires excellent cooperation and teamwork. I also have developed leadership skills when doing the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award and doing NCS The Challenge has given me responsibility when volunteering at care homes. I have also been volunteering for St Lukes Hospice by working in the shops around my area and caring for the terminally ill patients. In addition I have took part in organised charity runs and fund-raised money for a the wonderful cause. Having the role as a senior prefect in the sixth form gives me a chance to represent and help out my school frequently. Working

I realized from a very young age that no matter how big or small a gathering is; I have never really been the smartest in the room. I always fall somewhere in the middle, so I never rely on how smart I am. But then, I noticed early enough that no matter how far behind I was, if I was passionate enough about anything I do, I am able to get up through the difficulties and succeed with flying colors. My determination, not my smartness, has always been what makes me see farther than others in the same field as me.

In order to fully understand my interest in participating in the Adventures in Biology program, you will first need to understand a little about me. In five words, I am a very curious, kind, and daring risk-taker. Ever since I was a young child, I have always had a passion for science and math, which are subjects can be conveniently interconnected, because I know that there is always one answer, the truth, and that is exactly what I seek to obtain. I especially like the feelings of joy and pride that uplift me, after I complete a difficult science experiment or solve a challenging math problem. To me, these emotional stimuli are the best reward for all my hard-work and persistence in finding the answer. When I grow up, I want to become a radiology

The study of biology at a molecular level allows me to continue with the A-levels I enjoy whilst being able to specialise in fields that interest me such as genetics and pathology.

I am so blessed to have parents that have invested so much into me and my educational endeavors. Much of the reason why I’ve dedicated myself to diligently working toward academic success is due to their commitment to providing all they can for me. I am currently majoring in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry and a minor in Biology. I’ve chosen to concentrate on these two fields because they are the foundation of the Biomedical sciences. In addition to my studies, I have recently joined the NIH-funded Initiative to Maximize Student Diversity (IMSD) in biomedical research. Through this program, I am able to conduct research alongside a professor in the Pharmaceutical Department at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Medical Campus. With my mentor, Dr. da Rocha, I investigate the use of nano-materials to help chemotherapies more specifically target cancer cells in the body which would maximize their efficacy and lessen their toxic adverse symptoms. Hopefully, with my continued involvement in research, by the time I graduate I will have some of my work published in a biomedical research journal. After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree, the ideal next step would be to go on to a graduate program for either an MD or a PhD. My ultimate goal is to put my skills and knowledge toward making my community a healthier place to live.

As the bell rung for the end of first period, I gathered my things and began to walk to my second period class, Biology. Biology was always to me the hardest subject I had ever dealt with because there was so much to learn, study, and truly understand. I walked through the door into the classroom and I’ll never forget the words I heard my teacher say that caught me so off-guard. “Get out your notes and study because you have a test today”, he said. As I heard him finish his sentence, my eyes widen and I quickly moved towards my seat and began to skim over my notes as fast as I could. I had completely forgot that I had a test in biology.
