Through the journey of self-discovery, I have realised firstly and most importantly I wish to do something meaningful in my life, to leave a legacy of sorts, and secondly to employ my need to understand the world around me in a way that will achieve the former eventuality. My reasoning has inevitably led me to study the sciences and these will be subjects I hope to continue to study A levels. The ambitiousness of my goal is inextricably linked with my core values that include hard work, focus and determination. All of which I have used to achieve As in core and additional science and will achieve the A’s and A*s that I am predicted. Whereas the subjects I am committing to are the sciences, I see no reason why I cannot also enjoy English where my love for fiction lies. The potential words hold, enable me to exercise my mind and think beyond the basest of meanings and understand the various interpretations made by different people. I feel this is important as I can readily empathise with other people and can be a constructive force when collaborating in a group. This helped me when stu...

There are a lot of reasons why I chose to pursue pharmacy as my career and they all point to the most important reason: pharmacy is a great fit for my life and is something I have become increasingly passionate about. It started when I was researching careers with my parents and my dad suggested pharmacy and, simply put, it sparked my interest because at the time it was one of the few things I thought I would not hate doing. A healthcare career has always been where I put myself in the future, mainly because most of my family members are in the healthcare field. However, I have never been one that could directly help the wounded or deal with anything gory, but am very intrigued by the growing science of pharmacy. As I continue exploring pharmacy, the more I enjoy learning about it and feel like I could excel in this career.

Whoosh!A bed whizzed by, surrounded by about 6 medical personnel. “What’s going on?” I thought immediately with apprehension. I knew whatever was happening it was not ideal.

She could not have been bigger than two quarters lying side by side.She was struggling! Even with all the procedures the doctors were executing to save her life, she was performing the most work.

Why I Chose Cosmetology
666 Words | 2 Pages
When I began high school, I was a little lost. My English was still frail- which was one of the reasons I kept to myself. When my homeroom teacher passed me the paper to choose a “career path,” I didn’t know what I was doing. All the words jumbled in my head and I didn’t bother to ask because I did not know how. I think I chose ‘cosmetology’ probably because it sounded like its Spanish version. Nevertheless, my sophomore year, things started to clear up, I was now considered fluent and actually understood what was happening. That same year I changed my cluster to STEM- I have always loved science and I truly knew that was my passion. Everyday after class, I would go home and read more on the subject. Passing hours on end reading through science journals and reading recent studies wasn’t a strange day for me.

I grew up in a household where education was seen as a form of self-improvement and empowerment. Being raised in rural Central California by two Filipino immigrants who had nothing more than a high school education, my family did not have an educated or intellectual history I could look up to. That is, until my mother decided to get a college education at the age of 45. I must have been in middle school at the time, before which the word “college” was never really spoken or talked about and I could honestly say I only had a vague idea of what it even was. Rather than having the traditional sit down talk with my parents about higher education, my mom clearly spoke to me through example. I distinctly remember times where I would be her study buddy, and while doing so, I found myself leisurely enjoying the pages of her science textbooks. Instead of asking her questions related to her upcoming text, I inquisitively asked juvenile questions like, “How do the genes make us?” Today I know that this is a very big and complex question that we are still trying to answer. Yet at that moment, I wanted an answer, but mother did not have the solution, nor did the textbook. That was the birth of my pursuit of scientific career.

Since the beginning of my academic endeavors, I have long cherished a dream to be a member of the social science research community, which gives our society progressive insights into human ecology. I began my undergraduate studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey with a passion for ecological justice and with the intention of majoring in environmental studies. Ramapo College’s progressive liberal arts foundation provided me with ample room to explore the multifarious array of social science courses. As I took more social science courses, however, my understanding of human social groups underwent a metamorphosis. As a result, I decided to pursue a degree in Social Science, with minors in the two fields I felt most passionately interested in, Women’s Studies and African American Studies.

Science As Vocation
523 Words | 2 Pages
The purpose of Max Weber’s “Science as a Vocation” essay was to understand the conditions of science as a vocation, and the effects of specialization on enchantment. Although many people define vocation as a profession that requires working with your hands such as the jobs one receives after attending a vocational or trade school, Weber’s definition is quite different. According to Weber, the concept of vocation is based around one central idea which is how a “student who is resolved to dedicate himself professionally to science in university life”? Vocation, in this case, is a strong suitability or feelings toward a person’s work or job. He challenges students to examine why they want to study in a field, and determine how this study change or alter who they are. There is something inside everyone that inspires us to study what they want. He believes that specialization limits people’s knowledge and inspiration because they are only required to learn about their own specific fields. Students are allowed to virtually research and understand everything there is to know about one thing...
