The Importance Of Biology In My Life

My life revolves around the study of life; Biology. It's a way of life that's main priority was me, my structure, function, and growth have all shaped who I wish to become. My first encounter with Biology began while I was sitting in my seventh grade class, it was fourth period and my teacher had just introduced a cell project. I made my project quite different than anyone else's. It was made out of play dough, and I used a styrofoam hall as a nucleus. The project was very fun and interesting, I was given the opportunity to research more on cells and how they function. A membrane is what fascinated me the most. The fact that there's boundaries, which control what come in and/ or goes out is completely fascinating, almost exciting even.

In high school, I was put in regular classes until I reached 9th grade English, and my teacher asked me to stay after class. My teacher, Mr Stewart, then told me I was in the wrong class. He said I should be in his advanced English class, at this point I was quite confused. I knew I had a good grade in his class, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee I would do great in his advanced course. The next day he sent me off to the counselors so they could do the switch. It was definitely a big of a switch, the main difference being I was no longer the only one with a high A. From this point I began to be part of the competition, because everyone in this class was very competitive everyone aiming for valedictorian. However, I developed that sense where I knew I was in the right place. I sincerely admire Mr Stewart, because the placement in his advanced course made me realize it was challenging, and yet I could handle

I figured AP classes would be too common for any advanced student, and IB was a new thing for San Jacinto High School, so why not give it a try. The IB diploma programme was a two year process, my junior and senior year. Towards the end of the first semester of my senior year, my family and I had to move due to my father’s job. I moved to Indio, CA about an hour from San Jacinto, CA. I knew about the move ever since the summer, so since then I got in contact with the IB coordinator from La Quinta High School. She told me that, of course I could take IB courses, however, I would not be able to receive either a certificate or a diploma. I was at La Quinta for a week, until I realized that I had thrown away a stressful year of IB. I convinced my parents that I had to return to San Jacinto so I could finish what I had started. This impacted my grades to decrease, and I had to make up all the work I missed on. My family first decided we would commute everyday, however, it soon got quite difficult for all of us. I then decided to move to Moreno Valley with my grandparents, where I could drive myself to school. This was a great idea for all of us, simply because the moved caused things to be different at home. My parents were speaking of a divorce, and I couldn’t handle being there any longer. I plan on becoming very successful because I have two younger siblings, and it's my job to help them. If
