My Memory Of My Interest

By completing the interest survey, I felt in the position of a student: to have to think on unusual things and understand that they are part of who I am. I realized that I could know a bit more about me. I learned about my favorite food and my favorite singer, which are different from 10 years ago. I complete the survey before reading the articles and thought I could use this to know more about my students. After reading the material, I learned that knowing the interests of my students can help

I started my undergraduate career as a psychology major at UC Davis, where I was interested in understanding human behavior and identity formation. As I progressed in my studies, I became increasingly focused on collective memory--specifically, how we construct narratives to make meaning from our experiences. This trajectory led me to obtain bachelor’s degrees with both Film Studies and History. I believe that my academic background and personal interests provide a solid foundation for contributing

program in Electrical and Computer Engineering. My journey in the field of electronics began when I joined Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT, Delhi University) as an undergraduate in the Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) division. Keen to have a strong engineering base, I focused on foundational courses such as Semiconductor Physics, Digital Circuit Design & Computer Architecture. My budding interest in the field

distinct memories I had of this place. My family had been moving around Florida for the past three years of my life. Three years, three cities, and four different schools. This time we were moving to Ohio; my family was very excited about the move they said they were so happy to finally be home, but I had little to no memory of this place being my home. Nine years later, my family and I are still living in a small town in Northwest Ohio. I’m getting prepared for the next chapter in my life. With

came to psychology during my freshman year of college, while finding out I was not succeeding to my satisfaction in the field of Information Technology. I decided to build on my enjoyable experience in High School psychology courses (both introductory and Advanced Placement) by adopting Psychology as my Major. As I took courses within my new major I noticed that my interest, grades, and motivation to learn all improved simultaneously, creating a gratifying change in my life as I felt more successful

understand how and why humans interact with each other, the world, and oneself. Of the topics covered in this course, two discussions that really stood out were the nature versus nurture discussion in chapter 1 and the development of memory to the gradual loss of memory in chapter 8. Moreover, the nature versus nurture debate really stood out to me as a public health student and as a sister to a homosexual brother. Although it

of degenerative diseases in the hopes of finding a suitable topic for my project. I saw Alzheimer’s was both the most common disease in the field and the most deadly, and immediately I decided. After finding the topic, I began researching the guiding question of my research: What treatments are currently available to treat Alzheimer’s and what entails the different stages of the disease? This question was the northern star of my research, and provided a great tool to stay focused on a specific

I unmistakably recall my amazement as I watched my high school chemistry teacher balance an oxidation-reduction reaction on the board; in that moment, I became passionate about the molecular world. On the surface, the challenging coursework caught my curiosity, yet deep within was an internal connection to chemistry I had not experienced prior. This fascination with the molecular world was continually refined throughout my undergraduate coursework; however, no topic inspired me more than the molecular

Genetic Enhancement of a Child’s Memory: A Search for a Private and Public Morality ABSTRACT: Prospects of human genetic modification raise the question of genetic enhancement of memory. A moral framework that takes into account the tension between the roles of parent and citizen on the question of genetically enhancing a child’s memory is presented. Weaknesses of both moral liberalism and moral communitarianism are addressed: a tyranny of a powerful minority of liberalism, while a tyranny of

“This is my home, Cape Breton is my home, and I don’t know if I really want to leave it as much as I might think and I’m sort of scared to leave it all behind, everything I’ve lived with, I have so many memories of all the things I’ve done here and I’m afraid if I leave, I might lose all my memories…” (Rebecca McNutt, Smog City) Over the course of my life, I’ve moved several times, and each time I have these thoughts. All of the memories and people I’m leaving behind have changed me in some way,
