Chemistry Personal Statement

1. An understanding of chemistry is important for an understanding of biology because biology needs the models of chemistry to better describe life.

Chemistry relates to everything we touch, see, smell, hear, and taste because atoms make up everything in the universe. Chemistry influences so much in our everyday lives that it is hard to think of an activity that does not involve a chemical process in some way. The science also plays a major role in the human body. Our bodies are made up of chemicals, in fact almost 96% of our body mass is made up of four different elements: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. Besides the physical way I am affected by elements, chemistry also majorly affects me in my line of work as a certified nursing assistant. As a certified nursing assistant I work in a nursing home and

I am currently enrolled at Queensborough Community College (QCC) as a Science and Mathematics major and I intend to earn a B.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science with a further plan on post-undergraduate studies. QCC has given me insight and new perspective towards science and nature which persuaded me to seek and undertake a research opportunity. I always wanted to be educated enough to carry a research project with the hope to provide a tiny addition to the real-world of invention and discovery. I have interest in Biology from the beginning but I had developed an interest in chemistry in General Chemistry I (CH151) leading me to take Organic Chemistry I (CH251) with Prof. Paris Svoronos. Organic Chemistry course helped me to work on discipline

After taking AP Chemistry, I knew that I wanted to study chemistry in college. I also have been a very inquisitive person my whole life, wondering why things are and how things worked. My inquisitive nature and love of chemistry is why chemical engineering appeals to me. I am drawn to Biomedical engineering due to its application of both chemistry and biology to solve medical problems. Doing a complete 360, I am interested in art history, because not only do I find art fascinating, but I also find it mesmerizing how artists visually represent and were inspired by the world around them.

I have always been passionate about medicine, but I unconsciously took the non-traditional path to fulfill this goal. I loved

It has taken me longer than the average college student to find my passion. Being a junior who took pre-health classes for the past two and a half years at Clarkson, I found the task of switching career paths quite daunting. When I was in high school, I felt a lot of pressure to pursue a career in the medical field. While I did have a genuine interest in the biology of the human body, I did not know a lot about what a medical professional actually does for a living. Along the way, I had increasing doubts and became unhappy with my career choice. But then I realized that my time is not yet over at Clarkson, and I have time to turn this challenge into something positive.

Growing up, I’ve always admired physicians and what they do for others. I’ve seen the way patients’ look when a skillful physician assists them with their problems. I’ve seen the happiness on their faces when they have been treated. This is a huge portion of my personality because I am devoted to helping those who need it the most. My ambition is to pursue the Biology Major, with a Minor in Chemistry, and then, transition into the Premedical Program. I have chosen this major because Biology is the heart of Medicine, which is the graduate program I wish to further pursue in my college career. In school, I admire the complexity and interesting details that are entwined within my Biology and Chemistry courses. It piques an interest in my mind

Chemistry can be described as the “a science that deals with the structure and properties of substances and with the changes that they go through: the structure and properties of a substance: the way a substance changes and reacts with other substances,” according to Marion Webster Dictionary. Chemistry is that science that looks in to the atomic structure of all the things all around us and tells us what elements things are composed of and how they react together within our daily lives. Chemistry is the study of all matter in the universe and what it is composed of. Stanislao Cannizzarro was one of the more important scientists that established an extremely important basic principle in commonplace

My love for learning new things has grown exponentially since S1 but Chemistry and Biology were the subjects that attracted me the most. Through them, I developed an interest in one of the most complex structures known to man: the human body. This is what drove me to choose a career in medicine. It was not an easy decision at first but, after exploring the subject in greater depth, it is the one that I now stand behind whole-heartedly.

I have always felt like I had a type of obligation to be in the healthcare field. Coming from a family of all health care workers and taking all science classes, I have only seen one path. However, I am now realizing that it is not the only one life has to offer. From being in medical pathways and taking challenging sciences all throughout high school, I have realized that my passion was not in the subject, but in the work I do for it. In all these classes it requires full attention and the ability to sit and take intricate notes, making hundreds of flashcards, and being able to present a difficult topic in front of thirty people. This is what I enjoyed. I enjoyed the tedious work, the organizing of papers and the preparation. I didn't mind the binders full of handouts or lab books because instead of it being stressful, I found it quite

After completing graduate school, I heavily researched the right medical career for me. While becoming a physician was enticing, I continued to gravitate

Coming from high school with a passion for anatomy and biology and also a desire to study math and physics, it was difficult for me to pick a major. However, I knew I had to make a choice between studying a pure science or engineering as an undergraduate degree. While I was unsure of my undergraduate pursuit for a long time, I have been determined to attend medical school for a long time. My desire to study medicine has been driven by the desire to tackle challenging diseases. Through my knowledge of the medical field, I realized that combating diseases requires not only an understanding of the biology, but an advancement in diagnosis and treatment using applied sciences and innovative ideas. This is essentially the undertaking of engineers.

Chemistry is the study of composition, structure, properties and change of matter. Chemistry differs from Alchemy because it follows the scientific method as well as alchemy also had a philosophical side, Hermetic Alchemy. However Alchemy is still used today. A part of modern day Alchemy is radioactivity and nuclear reactions. Inside nuclear reactors elements like Uranium are being transmuted into Iodine or Plutonium.

For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of a career in healthcare. I have always wanted to learn of the internal processes in the human body and help people in a meaningful manner. As a child, I recall wanting to be a doctor. Of course, at my young age, I was only aware of two options as a medical professional: doctor and nurse. Eventually, I learned there are many options for a career in healthcare. When I left for college, I decided to major in accounting (to acquire a broadened range of knowledge) and pre-pharmacy. While training in my pre-pharmacy science courses, I fell in love with being in the laboratory. I enjoyed the fact that certain substances and reagents can be combined to determine answers problems. Until I decided to transfer

Chemistry has been called the science of what things are. Its intent is the exploration of the nature of the materials that fabricate our physical environment, why they hold the different properties that depict them, how their atomic structure may be fathomed, and how they may be manipulated and changed.
