Cosmetic Chemistry Personal Statement

People say to do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. I love makeup and I love chemistry so being a cosmetic chemist would be an excellent match for me. A cosmetic chemist’s job is to analyze, create, and study chemical compounds to make cosmetics. In order to prepare for this career, I should go to college, start an entry level job, and work hard.

Out of all of the skin care products in the world, your bathroom cabinet needs to be filled with products researched and designed by me. When I entered high school, I discovered my passion for selecting lip sticks, lip glosses, lotions, perfumes, and makeup foundations. You name it. After learning about the connections between the information in my chemistry class and these items, a light bulb went off! I maintained an A average in chemistry throughout the whole year! Additionally, in 2014, I became a student in the Academy of Engineering and Technology, which also heightened my interests in chemistry. In a science fair at that academy, there was a chemistry course where we made colorful slime, and during that process, I learned that I get an adrenaline rush when I am mixing different chemicals together to see what the outcome is. Majoring in chemistry at Norfolk State University will definitely prepare me for a very successful future in chemistry! My ultimate goal is to conduct research and development for chemical cosmetics. I plan to obtain employment at the greatest companies in the world such as L'Oréal and Avon.

Until about 2 years ago I was not quite sure what path I would choose for my future career, let alone what path I would choose when I arrived at college. I tended to be adept at subjects such as science and mathematics throughout my high school life, however I was never particularly fond of any one subject in particular. However, that changed my senior year of high school when I enrolled in AP Chemistry. I was intrigued by chemistry when I attended the pre-AP Chemistry course, however I was not particularly interested at that moment. However, AP Chemistry came with a plethora of hands-on experiments and procedures that existed to illustrate basic concepts of chemistry. Although it may sound mundane, I was amazed at some of the concepts we learned being implemented in front of our eyes, and I was especially

The United Kingdom is well known for it’s excellent reputation when it comes to education and that’s why it’s a lot of international student’s first choice. Moving away from their hometowns to study in the UK can be a wonderful opportunity, yet a challenging experience all at the same time. There are numerous problems that they face as it differs from one student. Other than the obvious language barriers, they may experience culture shock as they may be coming from countries on the other side of the world. They may also experience homesickness, and financial problems. Nevertheless it’s possible to find solutions to these difficulties and to adjust to these following problems and enjoying a wonderful education experience abroad.

The course I am currently studying has taught me how to conduct experiments and how to produce certain substances. My course has taught me how to operate in laboratories safely and how to make sure that every risk is assessed thoroughly and properly. Another main factor as to why I want to study pharmacology is because of the state society is in, people all around the world suffer from diseases and illnesses that have not been figured out yet. I could be the one to help discover a new cure for a disease that has killed thousands. The feeling of being able to save many lives would be incredible.

I enjoy studying science because it is a subject that embraces so much of life's issues and practicalities, and a subject that can be applied and made useful to everyday life. The depth Pharmacology has, combined with the never-ending services that it can provide in healthcare, inspires me from drug development to understanding how medicines operate and affect the human body. A degree in Pharmacology will allow me to apply my scientific knowledge and skills to improve the lives of others by providing the specific care needed. Studying A-Level Biology and Chemistry has furthered my scientific understanding and interest, which has provided an ideal base for studying at degree level.

The subject I am most intrigued to study is chemistry. Even before going into AP Chem my Junior year, I was intrigued with the subject. From going mad scientist with baking soda and vinegar to subscribing to chemistry YouTube channels. I guess this course tapped into my subconscious desire to know the unknown. Chemistry has taught me that there is so much more to our complex world, understanding that even the most straightforward of things can be elaborate. In this science I find my motivation to push the boundaries of my education.

I made this choice because I had always been interested in how Biology, Chemistry and Physics tie in with each other. In my studies I have enjoyed learning about the inner and outer workings of the many cycles and pathways occurring in the body. One class that I enjoyed in particular was Nucleic Acids, which opened me to the importance of genomic studies and the possible applications in treating genetic related diseases. Another course that has greatly influenced me was Cancer Biochemistry. This course reinforced my knowledge of the cycles and pathways occurring in the body and introduced the errors that can occur in these processes leading to cancer. Pharmacy requires a strong knowledge of natural sciences and I feel that my studies in biochemistry have given me a foundation to build upon. In addition to obtaining a B.S in Biochemistry, I will also be obtaining a minor in Business Foundations. This minor has provided me with the basic knowledge of business. Pharmacy requires knowledge of business, which is evident in Community Pharmacies. With that in mind, having a basic understanding of business provides knowledge that is needed in Pharmacy. While in school, grew interest in research and so I joined a lab. Working in a lab gave me important research skills moving forward. Pharmacy is a field that also requires much research, and the skills I have acquired from working in a lab should prove to be useful. The knowledge and experience I gained from school have provided me with knowledge and skills that will help me in pharmacy

Therefore, the concepts make sense to the knowledge I previously learnt, especially when combined with the other sciences. The more I learn, especially this year in the university introductory courses, the more exciting and interesting chemistry becomes. This excitement of making sense of my previous knowledge needs to continue, as I told myself, and I would need to take chemistry as my major to do so.

My study of chemistry has further increased my interest in becoming a pharmacist. I am very keen on how the medicine works and also how to use them. I am very interested about chemistry the skills I will gain in this area will give me a better understanding of the chemistry of making medicine.

Selecting the A level courses - Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Psychology were almost immediate choices for me, although, the open evening did allow me to further cohere my decisions greater. Considering Biology and Chemistry are required for the career I want, it’s only certain I choose and, ultimately excel in them. Selecting

Starting in high school, I realized I was hearing conflicting perspectives from teachers and family. Some people claimed I was “gifted” that is; knowledgeable and creative, but I worked hard at tasks others seemed to find simple such memorizing, staying focused, and keeping organized. At first, I justified my lack of focus and incentive claiming the transition from middle school to high school had begun to affect me. The years past and my problem lingered, yet I sustained my belief that I had a problem until my grade point average reached my record lowest.

To study in the UK is an excitement to every student. Being a student in the UK has enough challenges especially when you may want to complicate things like falling ill and not having a national insurance or not even registering with the national health insurance scheme. It is indeed an interesting thing to study in the UK, but everything has
