My Passion For Science

Decent Essays

My passion for science and plants began early in my childhood and has grown substantially to that which energizes me to chase after higher goals. I used to obsessively search for information on wild plants that were edible and had medicinal properties. Now, I find that I am continually amazed by research on the photosynthetic pathway along with biochemistry within plants in general. I was, and still am, enthralled by the idea that so much knowledge and novelty is within the organisms that I had appreciated since I was young. I believe that this passion was driven further by being able to compare, for myself, a life spent in remedial labor and one with scientific exploration. Needing to work in my family’s business for years out of necessity placed me in a position where I saw how each action could either draw me from or towards a better lifestyle. These experiences have personally shown me the value in a program like the Leadership Alliance, whose purpose offers a means to be a part of a diverse cohort striving toward leadership in the world. Having the opportunity to be included in a community with such a goal and momentum would be phenomenal. It would allow me to continue pursuing graduate and post-graduate level education while also refining me into a monumental force in the field of scientific research. I desire to pursue my passion of photosynthesis, plants, and biochemistry to serve the world with a team of researchers.
