It is unbelievable how the humans' thinking is so shallow. We always assume that we know what is best for ourselves, and the truth is that we barely know anything. We get bothered and depressed when things do not go as we wish, and we don't stop for a moment to be positive and see their bright side. We don't think that these unwanted things can actually be better than what we have planned for ourselves and that there might be some hidden purpose of them. Maybe I am overgeneralizing, but I know most of us are like that. An older version of me was like that. I've always enjoyed studying. Science classes, in particular, were my favorite part of the day. I would leave the class, look around and try to explain what happens in my surroundings using …show more content…
In the past years, I was involved in possibly every science discussion in class, and I'd always come up with creative ideas when it comes to finding a solution for a certain problem. I wanted to learn more about life and nature. In addition to that, I really wished to have my personal discovery, or work on my own invention and contribute in making the world a better place with science. It is something that I absolutely enjoyed studying and will definitely love to work with and devote time and effort for. I wanted to become a …show more content…
Sometimes we get sad and upset about something, but it turns out to be good at the end. Everything happens for a reason, which is beyond our comprehension most of the time, and that's what exactly happened to me. I don't know what I might have majored in if it wasn't Computer Science, and I was blessed enough to get it. I did not choose my major, my fate chose it for me, and I learned from that experience that I should always trust in my God and what he had planned for me, as he guided me to the major I later loved when I was lost and uncertain. I learned that I should never aggressively reject anything, or base my thoughts of it on assumptions on first impressions; rather I should try to learn about it and understand it before making my judgments. Most importantly, I learned about the major that opened the horizon wide for me. The major I find my joy
Through this same lens, I chose to take classes that helped diversify what I learned so I always stayed interested and never found class tedious, just as Curious George would in his adventures. Outside of school, I keep myself in check by traveling and trying new things because on top of my natural curiosity, I am a true explorer. Like George, I love the enjoyment of participating in what life has to offer, even though it may cause mischief along the way. After all, satisfying curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in
Ever since I was a little kid I loved the performing arts and I never thought that I would eventually fall in love with science . After an intense and challenging year of Chemistry my sophomore year, I was hesitant and nervous in signing up for my junior year science class. Toward the end of my sophomore year my chemistry teacher, Mr. Bowditch, told me he thought I would do well in Advanced Placement Environmental Science. I was in a state of disbelief because I was struggling trying to get a C in Chemistry and I was thinking how was I supposed to take AP Environmental Science class. After a conversation with my parents, they had persuaded me to sign up and we agreed if i didn't like it or it was too hard I would be able to drop the class.
A substantial part of the enjoyment that will come from pursuing a STEM degree is knowing it is something that I have always wanted to do since I was a young girl. When I was about 10 years old, I started to watch the Discovery Channel on television. These shows captured my attention and my love for science, and ultimately led me to want to pursue a career in the science field. Then, when I was a freshman in high school, I realized my true love of science from honors Biology and being introduced to the microscope. Now, three years later as a senior in high school, I am continuing my love of science by taking AP Biology. Throughout my life, my experiences have only strengthened my love and enjoyment in this field.
Did you ever strive to get to a higher stage in life? Maybe it had something to do with the goal that you wanted to fulfill , or maybe you were just anxious to complete that one goal you set for yourself in life. If you understand what it means to strive for a goal you can understand why being a student at SciTech High is so important to me. Going to SciTech will mean the world to me because it will help me succeed and pursue my dreams. Attending SciTech High would open new doors for me and give me more opportunities to experience the world in a new way. At the same time, I will be intellectually sound, determined, and confident as I continue my education.
In the degree that I am seeking I know there will be a lot of science to take. Science has always come natural to me, possibly because you can actually see the product and touch it. I plan to become a veterinarian not just for the love of animals but for the science and knowledge also. The dissecting of animals has always been interesting to me. It is a whole new world that I can wait to explore even more. It is amazing how God made living creatures. I just want to help keep them form getting sick and doctoring them when they do.
I have learned new things that I would have not been able to learn in the
For the past few years, my academic interests have been centered around the worlds of science and math; however, I have not always found these topics to be particularly intriguing. In fact, I remember dreading science class in fourth grade when I was first exposed to atoms and the complex realm of science. As I grew older, I developed an appreciation, and then an eventual passion, for the enthralling worlds of science and math because I began to consider the infinite careers and opportunities that they had to offer. Now I am in AP Chemistry, and I wish it was as simple as knowing protons are positive, electrons are negative, and neutrons are neutral, but I have always had a desire to challenge myself and push my knowledge to new levels; it is for this reason that I want
There’s nothing I love better than mastering a skill or gaining a new piece of knowledge. I find learning to be one of the few vices in life that are both addictive and good for me. Considering I often indulge in those other vices that aren’t really in my best interest, I try to get a big dose of education as often as I can. As much as I may love education, I’d much rather learn something new than doing anything else.
People continually look at what they perceive their life as lacking rather than appreciate what they do have in their life. People often fail to take into consideration when viewing another’s life the challenges, struggles, and negative aspects the person had to face to achieve their status. The only time it is appropriate for people to focus on the negative in their life is in order for positive change to take place. This will enable them to be able to learn and grow as a person from it. If people would focus more on the positive points in their life they may find that their life more satisfying.
This was the truth; I wasn't ready to give up on science-related career path that I planned on my whole life. I soon began to realize that I was not going to spend my life in a job just because it made me look smart to everyone else. In a few short months, my intended field of study changed from biology and pre-vet to undecided to
Really the only crucial decisions in my life were whether or not I was going to go to college and what am I going to do with my degree. How do you handle disappointment? I do not handle disappointment very well.
I never really thought about how one's childhood continues to shape one's future. When I was young it never crossed my mind to say, "I wanna be a medical doctor of endocrinology when I grow up" or "I wanna be a biomedical researcher at A&M University." It was, of course, always "I wanna be a fireman" or "I'm gonna be an astronaut." Somewhere along the line I became interested in science, and now I want to become a doctor. From looking back on my past all I can figure out is that my interest in science grew the more I learned. I see it as this burning fire that started out as a spark when I went to my first science fair in second grade and saw all those experiments written out and displayed on tri-folded poster board cut-outs. Now I try to feed that flaming fire of curiosity by learning as much as possible about everything, yet I also need to stay focused and concentrate on this future in medicine. In short, I need to become an ideal student.
“Why We Need To Understand Science” is an essay written by Carl Sagan that argues the importance and relevance of science to the upcoming generations in the United States. In Sagan’s thesis he states, “The submediocre performance of American youngsters in science and math, and the widespread adult ignorance and apathy about science and math, should sound an urgent alarm”. The primary form of appeal was logos, and the secondary form of appeal was ethos.
However, because of some reasons, I was accepted to an education major (which was not my choice, it was complicated to explain the reason) in the college which was the least favor major I wanted.
I knew what I was going to major in ever since I started High School. I had a passion and I wanted to pursue it, no matter the challenges or consequences. So, when my scholarship required me to take a Student Development Class, I signed up for the class that was open and seemed interesting. When I walked into class for the first time, I was confused because I was surrounded by many people who had no idea what they were going to do. This was a very unconventional experience because I have always known what I was going to be and have always planned out my life accordingly so. I had to force myself to take a step back and start viewing the world from my present college life instead of basing everything on future ambitions. By doing so, I was able
