Sample Biology Personal Statement

Throughout my past and current educational experiences I have excelled in math and biology. These subjects have appealed to me ever since I was a kid, I used to spend most of my free time reading about the history of math, learning about our body and learning how scientists like Isaac Newton and Euler derived formulas that that have been used in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, differential calculus and are used to build technology i.e. Rockets, jet engines and Tow missile etc. that has transformed human life . My understanding of these subjects has developed over the years because of our daily interaction with them, we use math from calculating the cost of an item on sale, to making budgets and biology from our circulation of blood, to respiration and the complex process of sexual reproduction involving meiosis. These interactions have helped me realize the importance of math and biology in our daily life.

I have taken the highest college level course of biology (AP Biology) and I am currently taking the highest college level course of math (AP Calculus AB) available in my High school. Excelling in math has provided me with the basic skills to be successful in other subjects like chemistry and physics, which are my other two favorite subjects. Excelling in math has helped me challenge my thinking ability, helped me acquire problem-solving skills and has improved my qualitative and analytical skills. Whereas excelling in biology has improved my understanding of the human body, the complex processes involved in maintaining the normal functioning of our body and the importance of each organ in our body. These skills will help me become a good petroleum engineer and will provide me with the skills to design bits to extract oil. I have worked hard to excel in these subjects and I will continue to work hard in order to reach my maximum
