Personal Narrative: A Helpful Class: Chemistry

1. An understanding of chemistry is important for an understanding of biology because biology needs the models of chemistry to better describe life.

From the beginning of the ninth grade until now, I have maintained highest honors. To do so, I made a routine of studying regularly, completing assignments in a timely manner and making sure they are submitted by the deadline, and putting effort into everything I do in school. I do so to develop the habits that will make me successful in college and when I reach my goal and become a physician’s assistant. By continuing to put great effort into school, I display my ability to persevere and show my continuing endurance even when a class is difficult. The most difficult class that I recall having throughout high school was chemistry. It was a rigorous course and the branches of chemistry we had studied were often intricate. We would have to complete lengthy lab reports after every

I have truly enjoyed writing for most of my life and after this class I will continue to enjoy writing hopefully with more skill. I have always viewed myself as a fairly strong writer and this class has reaffirmed that for me, but it has also shown weaknesses in my writing. As an introduction level class this has been one of my favorites; at some point I will take a higher level, even though it is not required for my major. Even though this class is almost over I am continuing to learn. I also love that this class will help me with literally ever other class in my college career. I am not a particularly strong reader, but as my writing skills improve so do the reading skills. While in this class I have learned a lot about everything from what I can improve, to subjects that interest me, and constructing a successful paper.

A personal legend is a journey that everyone must undergo at some point in their lives to fulfill their life purpose. My name is Mohamed Jallow; I just recently turned 16 years old, and I moved to New Jersey 2 years ago. At this present time, I am very interested in studying Industrial engineer as a major after high school, this discipline will shape me into a leader, and offers a great salary to sustain the quality of life, that I want for me and my family. Reading The Alchemist, alchemist explains to the Shepherd that “…when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too” (pg. 150). I always strive to be the best in anything that i do, and when i taste the fruits of my labor, i would make sure that my family, and everyone that supported me enjoy it as well.

Chemistry relates to everything we touch, see, smell, hear, and taste because atoms make up everything in the universe. Chemistry influences so much in our everyday lives that it is hard to think of an activity that does not involve a chemical process in some way. The science also plays a major role in the human body. Our bodies are made up of chemicals, in fact almost 96% of our body mass is made up of four different elements: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. Besides the physical way I am affected by elements, chemistry also majorly affects me in my line of work as a certified nursing assistant. As a certified nursing assistant I work in a nursing home and

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

My academic career is based on the sciences, especially chemistry and biology. Throughout my childhood, I have been greatly exposed to the sciences. My mother was a nurse practitioner in a rural clinic, which was connected to our house. Consequently, the clinic became my playground and the stethoscopes became my toys. Therefore, I was always interested in how the body worked and what affected our health.

And to grasp how our systems work, I needed to have a deeper understanding of what they are made of, which is what biochemistry is all about- the chemistry of life. My interest in the human body started in fourth grade when I first learned about anatomy and the body systems. Until this day, I haven’t forgotten the names of the bones in the skeletal system. When I volunteered to translate and help out in a Medical Mission last summer in the Philippines, my interest in medicine grew. I knew I wanted to become a doctor, but this volunteer opportunity made me certain that the medical field was for me. It was fascinating to be involved in the discussion between the patient and the doctors since I was the one translating from English to Filipino and vice versa, and seeing how the doctors handle diagnoses and treatments was quite a learning experience. I’ve also taken Honors and Advanced Placement courses in Science and Math which also fueled my interest in my chosen field. Taking the AP Biology course really made me more aware and gave me a greater interest towards life and our human bodies. It’s mind-blowing to think about the complexity of our living systems and how we can be unaware of what is actually going on inside of us. This is precisely why I strive to become a doctor- I want to learn more about medicine and

I am sitting here completely dumb founded as I think about chemistry. How does chemistry relate to me? How do I relate chemistry? It is such a subject that I am unsure of how it fits into my life other than a class I took in high school. As I dig deeper instead of just scratching the surface, I realize that I use and will be going to use chemistry more and more in my life.

In the beginning of my junior year, I had signed up for one of the most intimidating classes in my high school, AP chemistry. While I took chemistry honors, I heard rumors about the AP course and seen homework packets that overwhelmed me to the point of removing the class from next year’s schedule. However, out of impulsiveness, I decided it was time for a challenge and put the course back on my schedule. When I received my summer assignment for the course, I felt confused and regretful about the decision I had made. My commitment to not fail the class the first week back from break forced me to focus on the time-consuming homework. From my struggle, I managed to finish the packet on time. The school year began, and one of the first lessons

I’ve always heard that some trials are caused because of our own actions, I discovered this firsthand when I enrolled in AP Chemistry. I'd never taken Chemistry before, but after talking with the teacher we concluded that I would do fine in AP as long as I was willing to work hard. Chemistry didn’t come easy for me. I felt like things weren’t clicking as quickly as I wanted. When I read from the book I had a difficult time understanding what I was reading. So I started sacrificing my hour lunch to get help from my teacher. Nearly every day I ate lunch while getting help on chemistry homework. At home I spent most of my time doing the same homework. I'd do the problems I knew how to do, then the next day I came to class and lunch prepared with

Furthermore, being in an area of medicine I can always learn something new because there is always an on-going of unknown things that happen in the human body, also the science

When studying chemisty, you must grasp how reactions can form acids or bases, as well as what effect that has on pH. A basic understanding of chemistry is important in biology, because living things are composed of matter.

Chemistry has had a large impact on medicine as we know it today. In fact medicine would have never gotten as advanced as it has today without chemistry to help it out. Everything that medicine does is based on chemistry at its core. A long time ago when there was not nearly as much knowledge of chemistry and the medicine was much more basic as well. All of medicine is made of different elements in one way or another. Chemistry will probably also have impacts on the discoveries in medicine yet to come.
