I Want to Become a Marine Biologist

I used to tell my friends and teachers that I wanted to explore the medical field because that was what my family wanted me to do. They wanted me to become a doctor as it is a well praised profession that pays extremely well. As I grew older and entered middle school, I realized that becoming a doctor wasn’t something I was immensely interested in. Instead of a doctor, I wanted to become a veterinarian, treating animals instead of people. I’ve become aware of my passion for animals ever since I began having pets: from fish to hamsters to dogs. I decided to focus on animals when I first took one of my hamsters to a veterinarian. I thought that their profession was fun and interesting because it revolves around animals, something that I love and grown up with. Although studying veterinary sciences is difficult and competitive, becoming an animal doctor has been one of my greatest

There is nothing glamorous about putting on scrubs everyday but it is beautiful to be an integral part of a patient taking an interest in their health. The oral cavity is intricately associated with the rest of the body and a fundamental, but often forgotten part of overall health. As a dental hygienist I have the opportunity to educate and help people improve or maintain their periodontal health. I would like to transfer because I have a huge desire to educate future registered dental hygienists and by continuing my education I will be equipping myself to be a stronger leader and mentor for students. Dental hygiene is my passion and my desire is to share my enthusiasm for dental hygiene with future generations of dental hygienists. The

I have always had a passion and interest in working with the unknown. When I was in high school, I always made sure I was taking science classes that interested me, and would help me decide on what I wanted to major in college. I chose neuroscience as my major because it is a subject that continues to fascinate me. Neuroscience is the study of how the nervous system develops, its structure, and what it does. I want to focus on the brain and its impact on behavior and cognitive functions. I want to go into clinical neuroscience (looking at the disorders of the nervous system) or cognitive neuroscience, which studies the higher cognitive functions and underlying neural bases. With a neuroscience major, I would like to pursue a career in clinical research, do research for the National Institute of Health, work for the CDC and specialize in neurological disease, and/or run a clinical research project in another country. I want to pursue a career in one of these areas because I want to dedicate my knowledge, skills, and time to helping people and the world of science. I want my work to make a positive impact on society and be beneficial for the forthcoming generations. I want to help people and discover new things that will help those in need. I am motivated every day to continue working hard by realizing there are still more things to be discovered and that it could be done by me.

Gloria Steinem once said, “Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities.” Imagination and dreams can make anything possible, including me becoming a marine biologist. Ever since I was five years old, i have dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. My dad, stepmom, and me took a trip to Orlando, Florida and I was terrified of what was to come. I didn't know it had the time, but now I realize that this one experience has shaped me into who I am and what I love.

I believe that a person must acquire an assortment of skills such as solving tasks with others, evaluating and understanding information, and working with an assortment of people and creatures to become a successful marine biologist. When becoming a marine biologist solving tasks with the people around you is the only way you can achieve your goals. Team challenges in my math class are examples of how I am capable of solving tasks with others and my scores of a B+ or higher back up my past statement. Evaluating and understanding information is also vital to success because marine biologists are put into situations where they must understand the information given and evaluate the information to solve the problem. My grades on chemistry labs which I always score well on provide evidence when showing my abilities to understand and evaluate information.

Before attending the University of Arizona, I felt a need to set a specific goal to achieve in ten years later. The collegiate journey was more different than I aspect. With far more about many options in careers, I had realized that broader goals could help me explore what actually interest me the most. Before I started college, I had chosen pre-physiology. However, I am majoring in biomedical engineering now and really enjoy taking engineering courses. Currently, I have broadened my horizons to consider both graduate and medical schools unlike before. Before, I never believed that one can change goals so rapidly. Now, college has changed me.

Knowing my career goal would require obtaining a doctorates degree, I completed my undergraduate career with the challenges of graduate school in mind. I took extra steps outside of the classroom such as studying abroad in Kenya. In 2015 I took the Primatology, Wildlife Ecology, and Conservation

Over the course of my life, I have wanted to be many things. I was going to be a nurse or a chef or even an FBI profiler, like the characters on the show Criminal Minds. Whatever my current obsession was, that’s what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a veterinarian at one point too, but quickly abandoned the idea when I realized how poor my luck with animals was as a child. For the record, I have been attacked by at least three goats, a chicken, and my cat (many times). Despite all this, my love for animals has stayed consistent throughout my life. I’ve been especially interested in sea life since about middle school when I began to watch Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. With each passing year, I became more captivated with the beautiful, misunderstood creatures. By my senior year in high school, I knew what I wanted to with my life. I wanted to spend it learning about and helping to protect these awesome predators.

When I start my years at UW-Eau Claire, I will be starting with my major as Undecided. However, I do have a few different majors and/or careers in mind. One of the ideas I have in mind is becoming a Marine Biologist. Ever since I was young, I loved learning about the ocean; one of my favorite things to do, in fact, is to watch documentaries about ocean life with my dad. Learning about the way the creatures live and survive, is an important aspect of my life. However, I also enjoy learning about the history of ancient cultures; specifically about their mythology and religion. Therefore, another option I am considering is something involving those aspects of history, archeology perhaps. My love for mythology stemmed from my love of fantasy. As

There are many educational requirements to become successful in biology. Firstly, to be successful in biology, you will need a high school education, A Masters or Doctorate degree, and a knowledge in the field of science. A master's degree in biology is required, but a doctorate is required for some jobs, mostly in education. This is important because to even become a biologist you will need to get a college education. (Marine Biologist). You will also need a lexile of 1400 or higher to read the material needed to become a biologist (Jumbo Squid). This is important because

Ten years from now I hope to have already accomplished my dream goals or at least be striving towards those goals. The word phrase “dream goals” can entail a million little easily accomplishable things, such as attending college or far fetched goals such as going into outer space, not to say that it is impossible to reach such a far fetched goals. My main goals or “dream goals” that I am currently striving for are career based, and those goals are to one day become a successful Marine Biologist that specializes in cetaceans, marine mammals, while also trying my hardest to converse the natural beauty of the oceans ecosystem. Now this may not be the most finically sound job, or even easily achieved career, but for me it is not about the money or easy way. Would I prefer that I have a high income? Yes. Would I prefer to strive for a job that is not so competitive and limited? Of course. However, I feel in love with the ocean and its creatures below the surface a long time ago, whether others can tell or not.

Do you wish to someday be marine biologist , a poet, or even a stay at home parent? Well no matter what you aspire to do with your life you need to have faith in yourself.Hope and dreams demand people to believe in themselves and what they are capable of doing.Without confidence and motivation it is hard to maintain hope, dreams , and goals.

In ten years I can see myself out of college and working as a marine biologist. I always thought when I was younger that you were obligated to have your whole life planned out by the minute, but I didn't. A year ago I had no idea what I wanted to do when I was older. The fact that I finally have an idea about what I want to do is certainly important to me. I find this career so intriguing because it has to do with three of my favorite things; animals, the ocean, and science. With this career, I not only can provide for my family, but I can have fun while doing it. I will always be obligated to remind myself that by achieving this goal, I must need to work hard now and in the future. Every long term goal needs to have short term goals leading

Marine biologist help us to know more about animals in a sense that we should know about our world we live in. Edward Thorndike says, “That the process of animal learning rested not on some form of reasoning and not even on imitation.” It's true it's not just something we do it's something we choose to do as in a fact that animals have a huge impact on us whether we think so or not. Animals are studied by marine biologist because we want to know about who created them and what's out there. Yes it's hard but we love the job, not only because we get paid a lot but it's the fact I or others get to dive do things we love all day and get paid for it. Marine biology is not only focused on the facts of sea life it focus on all of the life's sources.

The ocean takes up more than seventy percent of earths surface, but there are so many mysteries that we have yet to solve. We have explored less than five percent of the ocean, the majority of what makes up the planet we live on. I aspire to study the ocean and all of its mysteries, to discover new findings and help the animals of the sea along the way. I have wanted to be a marine biologist since I was little. The ocean has always been where I feel at home. From floating on the waves looking out into the unknown, or below the water searching for something new, becoming a marine biologist has always been my passion. Alongside my passion of my dream job was my love for sports, volleyball in particular. I was faced with the challenge of giving
