I Was Born Into The Sciences

One area of biology that I studied in freshman year was the immune system, which soon became my favorite part of biology. I enjoyed studying about lymphocytes and learning how B cells react when encountering

Once I found out that science is second nature to me, I spent countless hours studying and researching how exactly to become a scientist. Now, I am carrying out the plans that I made from my research to make my dream come true. Even though I found myself struggling with some subjects, I worked even harder to make sure I have all the required knowledge for my journey.

After graduating high school, I was accepted to Alabama State University and decided to study Biology. I figured that this area would help me study living organisms, life processes and understanding the basic life processes that required different medical provisions. I believed that I would eventually find out if I wanted to studying medicine or counsel people. On May 7, 2011, I graduated from Alabama State University with my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Then I volunteered at Jamaica Hospital emergency room alongside the medical providers and interact with the families of those who are medically

biology, I realized that I wanted to actually apply knowledge that is learned into the

Growing up, most kids in my generation had Disney Channel or Barbie Dolls. As I was raised with 6 siblings and cousins and having just emigrated from England, my family did not have ample money to expend on cable or fancy toys; subsequently, I resorted to books. As I read more and more, my interests began to broaden, and my keen admiration and curiosity for how and why things work in certain ways progressed. As I grew older, I realized that science could be used to answer many of life’s most complex questions. Once I was accepted early into The University of Georgia, I declared my major as Biology with a pre-medical intent, deciding to further pursue my curiosity about living organisms. I soon realized that I needed to achieve more, and decided

Science has always been my passion. It started before Science Center of Iowa preschool and flourished throughout high school, where I took advantage of every advanced science course and enrichment opportunity. When I began college, I fervently pursued the biological sciences. I was fascinated with disease mechanisms and the functions of the human body. I began working at the Iowa State University Clinical Veterinary Pathology Laboratory where I delved deeper

I have always had a strong passion for the sciences. They were always my favorite classes and I enjoyed putting in the hard work to master them. I did well in math and business courses too, however I never felt excited about the material I was studying. My favorite areas in science have been biology, anatomy, and physiology of the human body. Each time I learn something new, I continue to be amazed by the complexity and precision of the human body.

I had life sciences until end of Grade 12. The fact that my teacher had a degree in zoology and was a well-informed and educated man with great values, made each class worthwhile. Not only did he teach us the syllabus, but took the time to show us extra material (videos, books, photographs and excursions) in order to broaden our minds with regards to certain topics. This man was also my inspiration in studying education, as he was willing to take the risk to make extra time to help struggling

I have always love science since a young age. During high school I began experimenting with all the different science classes that the school had to offer. Out of all of those classes I found the one that brought incredible amount of fascination. That class was Botany where I had studied plants and learned their functions. I learned about how they grow from a seed to how they reproduce. Even with that class I have always found that plants bring a certain amount of curiosity. I had dreamt many ways to the perfect yard with all sorts of plant species. The yard would be overflowing with plants. Also the house would have so many plants inside that it would be a jungle. The courses required for botany are very heavy with science. I know that I will be taking fifteen different science classes. I looked forward to the challenges that each class will bring. During the time in my freshman year I would like to know what reading and writing I will need for botany.

The motivation to achieve my goals led me to attend The Ohio State University to obtain my bachelor degree in Biological Sciences. Throughout my college education, I volunteered and held paid positions at various hospitals throughout Columbus. I was always intrigued to learn what it takes to

Ever since I was a small child, I was interested in the way things worked and why things were the way they were. I took two biology classes in high school and plan to take more here. Also, I have thoroughly researched this topic.

Science used to fascinate me and leave me curious ever since I was a kid. I would always have the TV on The Science Channel or The Weather Channel. Nature, stars, animals and anything involving the concept of science, captures my attention. At the high school I attend, Health Sciences High and Middle College (HSHMC), I received a very rare opportunity that other high students could possibly not get. I was able to intern at multiple sharp hospitals through the school and for free. This gave the opportunity to experience the hospital and the environment in different departments in the hospital such as engineering, pharmacy, subacute, and supply and distribution. Eventually my senior year is going to come to an end and I am going to head off

My personal quest for knowledge has been ongoing since the first day I picked up a science book. I have never been more interested in any subject. It truly spoke to me. At a college level, there is a magnitude of opportunities. I had the opportunity to participate in the Student Dissector program on campus in the Spring of 2015, I visited the Stanford Cadaver Lab with Biology Club this semester, and I traveled to see a talk by the world renowned American astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson.

What experiences (volunteer or paid) contributed to your interest in the field of public health?

Science has and always will play a constant important role in my daily life, maybe more so than others. Science for me has not always been my strong subject in school and I very easily tend to get intimidated. But when I look at my daily life and realize how much science plays a role in it, I cannot help but smile. Science is not at all bad, it has allowed me to do many things every day, even if I do not take the time to stop and think about it, it is there. From the way the microwave heats up the water for my coffee every morning or the way my body digests the food I eat every meal and makes
