Pre-Ap Biology Personal Statement

Since I was a child in elementary school I was always interested in the sciences. To me it never seemed to matter what type; it could be space science, biology, or even chemistry that I would awe over. Without reading and writing I would never be able to accomplish the understanding that I have today about science; without it I would be in complete ignorance of how evolution and biology worked, or why baking is just palatable chemical reaction, I would have never been able to expand my knowledge outside of what the classroom taught me. I remember when I was still in elementary school all I wanted to learn about was the ocean, but there were no topics of discussion that even narrowly correlated to that subject; I was left

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.

Science is in my blood. I grew up always being fascinated in science both physical and environmental. My love for science started early when I was able to play outside every day and performing my own experiments in the backyard. Throughout middle school and high school, I took every available science course, I simply just wanted to know more. I did not know my exact path of study until my senior year in high school. I enrolled into an AP Environmental Science class, a brand new test run course at my school. Thinking back to AP Environmental Science, it was not just the material that directed my study. Ultimately it was my teacher, Mrs. Andre, who strengthen the flames of desire and intrigue to continue along the environmental studies path. Her drive and passion every day is what inspired me to focus on environmental education and communication.

Ever since I was younger, science has captivated my interest and has molded me into the person I am today. When the rain would come crashing down on my elementary

I am interested in environmental studies as a potential major and want to learn more about this field in a professional setting. Through my Human Evolution, Environmental Science, and AP Biology courses, I have become familiar with ecology and evolution. While the Community-Based Ecology in the Galápagos project looks at these fields from a philosophical standpoint, it will provide me with practical experience and invaluable insights as I decide my major and future career path

In high school, I always looked forward to science class—Biology and Anatomy and Physiology the most. Life, creatures, and the science behind it fascinated me (and still does to this day). I was with classmates that did not have the greatest interests in science like I did, but it made me more motivated.

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

Wheelers said that when kids are little they love science and find all aspects of it extremely fascinating, however, when many students get to middle school and high school, then the science information gets drilled out in lectures and tests all while students are competing against one another to get the best grade.

My favorite thing about science is worm dissection, owl pellet dissection, and pickle dissection. The worm dissection was not that bad don't be scared to touch the worm. The owl pellet is neat you get to see what the owl eats and find the bones from the owl pellet.

I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with science. From a young age, I remember searching through the internet to answer every question I had and asking my parents - both with PhDs - about the world around me. One day, I discovered a documentary: Battlefield Cell. In that moment, I was hooked on learning and had a problem I wanted to solve.

For as long as I can remember math and science classes fascinated me to no end. Once I started wielding science as a tool to understand life, a whole new world opened up. There is nothing more satisfying

Wonderment, curiosity, and prying for knowledge; these are feelings that every child experiences at one point or another. For my childhood self, it was biology that fueled those innate feelings of fascination. Biology has always been a topic of interest to me, from when I was a little kid to this day, biology consistently amazed and continues to amaze me. Ever since I was a just a kid, I knew I wanted to go into the field of science. I looked up to science greats like Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Charles Darwin, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Isaac Newton.

I have never been more engrossed in a class like I am in anatomy and physiology. I have never gone out of my way to do research on a topic of out sheer interest for another class. There have been countless nights where I stay up reading about mechanoreceptors and pressure activated sodium gates. I believe I have finally found my passion in life.

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

Finding out how and why things work and discovering how products are made has always my passion. I regularly watch engineering and science shows on the television. From my childhood, I have always been a very curious person who would not believe just because someone told me, but I had to know the reason behind it. Science always fascinated me, and I always wondered how we remained on the ground and never fell off something that is spherical. In school I was more interested in maths and science rather than History or Arts and this made me choose Chemistry, maths and physics as my Higher subjects. This has helped me appreciate how Science has been utilised to improve man’s life and make it easier. It is because of this that I would like to
