For example, I conducted a bacterial growth research project where I observed the effects of natural-occurring compounds on the growth rate of “Streptococcus pneumoniae” as a means of determining which compound will be most beneficial for

My professional goal is to achieve a b.s. Degree in biochemistry, as well as a masters in chemical engineering. Both fields are intriguing and allow for the integration of countless aspects of everyday life, from the fuel in our cars to the medicine in our cabinets. Once a month, the Church I attend makes food and distributes it to the poor and needy. From participating in this event and others similar to this, I have realized that helping people -- by any means -- is what I desire to fulfill in my career.

Most importantly, these majors allow me to pursue a job where I can maintain a family without sacrificing the ability to focus on my
