Why STEM Is Important To Me

My interest for science blossomed as a child, my mom is a lab technician and going to her job and seeing them learn all these astonishing things about a person from a simple tube of blood blew me away. In middle school I went to a STEM school, The Academy for Science and Design in order to allow that passion to grow, and from there I have participated in multiple science related research projects that I have been able to bring with me to national level competitions. In addition, in high school I am taking AP level science classes, such as AP Biology, in order to expand my knowledge. Soon I plan on starting to volunteer at the community hospital for an opportunity to gain real world experience in the scientific field. The thing I take most pride

There are no engineers in my family to persuade me into becoming one. It was my own interest and curiosity that drove me into analyzing how things work. Over the years I have developed a passion for solving complex problems that involve technical challenges. I have learnt that an engineering problem does not have a standard solution to it and that an engineer has to choose the best from amongst the various options. The process of applying scientific methods to solve real-life problems continued to intrigue me throughout my years of study, initially in the context of my own behavior, and later to observe and investigate its impact on an increasing affinity towards Engineering.

I have always been interested in the medical field. My father is a physiotherapist and my mother has a bachelorette in Microbiology and is a laboratory technologist. I have grown up having science-themed discussions around the dinner table and books lying around the house. With the experience of my parents at their respected professions, I did not have the feeling that these paths were the correct fit for me. I liked the hands on side of physiotherapy but I wanted something more technology related. I searched the medical field for a career that combined my fascination for both human science and technology in addition to being able to interact with patients. My research on Radiation Therapy instantly established a thought that this is a career

As I mentioned in my first essay, I wish to pursue a career in either the medical field or technologies that contribute to the medical field. Both interests deal directly with STEM. STEM is a gateway for me to live my dreams and succeed in a field that is difficult to enter without the correct steps taken and references known. Majoring in STEM would provide me the education and contacts needs to enter the medical or technological field at an advantage. I believe that STEM is truly a resource that allows students to focus on their studies more intently and unearth his/her passions in an academic world. For myself personally, STEM would help me to narrow down the fields of medicine and technology to the precise profession that suits my interests. Likewise, in a world that is creating new careers daily, STEM is one of the few pathways that adapts to the growing diversity of options, and facilitates ubiquitous knowledge for success no matter the circumstance. To me, that means that I can reach my hand into the currently unknown world and create my own course of action with certainty that I will meet success along my way. There is no better way to enjoy life, than to find a passion and chase after it, and I conclude that STEM will allow me to do

In my mind STEM is more than an acronym. It’s the key to saving Baseball. I think that the great American pastime is dying off because young fans don’t care. What do many of the young fans care about ? STEM

Currently, our world is transforming rapidly to be more accepting of differences and learning to celebrate what makes people unique. This occurred through small strategic wins around the globe when people fought for what they believed in. I have faith that everyone can positively impact the people around them in a meaningful manner. Combining my past experiences and my aspiration to better the world, my dream is to go into the medical field. I would like to do research and study the human nervous system, searching for and finding a way to cure neurological disorders. I have prepared myself through science classes, AP exams, attending health/medical conferences, and volunteering at the Eagle Ridge Hospital, always pushing myself to excel at everything I tried. I received high marks alongside 5s on every AP exam I took. This past December, I was even chosen to attend the Mini-Med Operations Conference which took place at the BC Children’s Hospital. There, I learned about the world of surgery and how surgeons can aid developing countries. It covered topics such as Global Surgery and mental health.

Throughout my numerous years in grade school, science had always been a subject that fascinated me. In my mind, I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career dealing with science, but I was unsure of which aspect that I wanted to pursue. However, during my senior year in high school I was allowed to select the science course that I took that year and due to my curiosity for the functions of the human body, anatomy was a no brainer. As I got deeper and deeper into the anatomy course, I became more and more fascinated and knew that I had found my passion; the human body and the functions of the numerous parts. It was in this course that I began to understand what was happening to some of my loved one's bodies as they tried to fight cancer, an idea which I was completely unfamiliar with at the time.

Why do I want to attend STEM instead of all the other classes? I have heard from many of my good friends that STEM is a great opportunity to learn new things. I enjoy learning distinct things that I have never picked up. I have a strong desire to try harder. “STEM has unique classes”, my friends said. I believe this because it is very expensive and many other reviews say that it is good. STEM is a good place to pick up new strategies. STEM is more of my style. I crave to work vigorously in my childhood to have a successful life in my adulthood. “The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet”, said Aristotle. He meant that education in childhood is hard and you have to try effortfully, but leads to success in life. I attend many

The story in which I concluded that I wanted to become a surgeon all started in my sophomore year of high school. I joined allied health science at a vocational school mostly because it seemed interesting and my mom said she took allied health science when she was in high school. At first, I wasn’t so sure about this class and I was thinking about joining police science. I ended up staying with allied health instead because I don't give up on things and my mom thought I should stay as well. I ended up really liking allied health and studying all the different things involved with anatomy. I always get really good grades on my test and allied health became my hobby; it didn’t seem like school to me. Then I started to think about what I wanted

Ever since elementary school I have always been interested in science and math. They were always the subjects that came easiest to me, and as a result, I enjoyed them the most. I am often the person that my peers will come to for help, or the student my teachers expect to make the highest grades. Recently I have been exposed to more uses and applications for the subjects I love. Now that I am able to see where I can utilize my knowledge, I believe I have found my calling for the medical field. More specifically, I am especially intrigued by the new field of biomedical engineering where engineers can create synthetic devices that replace damaged or diseased tissues and organs. As I grow older I am sure my interests will change, but only

As a nursing student I believe that my future profession and others in the medical field encompass both aspects of art, and science as many

This summer, I was able to experience more about stem related aspects of the world. My personal passion is in biology medical sciences. However, I was able to find an interest in programming and robotics. I was able to use another program besides JavaScript to program robots. It was interesting to see how robotics were use in the medical field and in outer space. Every robot has a unique way of getting tasks done. However, every robot has one feature in common they are all amazingly creepy. Stem camp is where I also found my passion for cardiology. Without the Stem program, I would have never found out what I was truly passionate and science related areas. As I am on this topic now, I would like to thank my camp mentors: Dr. Wiggins, Miss Stokes,

Although there is a lack of pressure for children to make an immediate decision on their career path, children begin to develop a career ambition through interest, rather in relation to their abilities (Tracey & Ward, 1998). However, during adolescence, career ambitions are alternated based on the individual’s academic abilities (Tracey, 2002).

When I was a child, I did not have a dream of a certain occupation, but I knew what I wanted to do in the future, a robot leg for my aunt. My aunt is disabled and cannot even stand up. For years as a child, I thought of how to make legs for my aunt since I wanted her to be able to walk. As I have grown up, I have witnessed how technology has had great benefits on not only disabled people but also others. As I discovered my abilities in mathematics and physics and my interest in engineering, I kept my childhood emotions and wonders: producing and creating innovations which will help not only my aunt but also all humankind.

Planning and research is important when trying to succeed in any endeavor. A career goal is no different. My goal is to become a biomedical engineer because it is a diverse subject with interdisciplinary opportunities, and it can be extremely helpful to other individuals with various ailments. There are many aspects to each type of career, and they should all be considered when choosing a job or field. Some of the most critical factors in career planning include considering the necessary education and training, required skills, earning potential, benefits, daily routine, and one’s own personal abilities (Teen's Guide to College and Career Planning, 21-32). By examining these elements in regard to biomedical engineering, I can distinguish my misconceptions from the realities of this career and reevaluate my decision to pursue it.
