Why I Want To Pursue A Degree In Biological Science

My main science and math academic goals at the moment is to explore and expand my love for the science and math. Throughout my childhood, I have always been interested in the science and math fields of academic study due to their invigorating nature. As a sophomore and freshman, I realized I had a passion specifically for the biological sciences since life and its processes are so complex and intricate. I never grow tired of learning the complexities and inner workings of all forms of life from substantial creatures such as humans to microscopic animals such as ants. Also in high school, I realized that I reveled in performing activities in the laboratory. I loved the idea of a challenge being proposed that I had to solve with only my own knowledge.

If chosen, I will be able to complete a research project which will allow me to employ my knowledge rather than simply learning the fact. I would use this summer experience as an opportunity to further my love for biological sciences. I would use the research opportunity to learn to balance collaborative and individual work and jumpstart my career as a researcher. I feel as if doing research in a lab will teach me valuable critical thinking skills and problem solving skills. Through the active learning of research, I will attempt to develop the intellectual skills of critical analysis and valuable transferable skills such as group work, data handling, and time management. All of these skills would be valuable in my desired job of a biological technician since they use laboratory skills and techniques learned in labs and
