Personal Statement

I lose myself in learning. I love to explore aspects of the world that I live in, specifically

science because science is in everything. Science is you and me, the way we think, and what we

see, touch, hear and feel; Science provides explanations yet it doesn't have all the answers. My

love for learning was fueled by many things including books, reading small articles, and

magazines, or newspapers. When I was younger, TV shows and going to the library every week

were how i learned, but recently the internet has played a major role. The Internet is a powerful

tool that has recently allowed me to discover my love of all sorts of things, and how could it not

when he has lifetime's worth of content being uploaded every second.. As a person with a

passion for learning and extreme levels of curiosity I've learned tons of information that some

may consider irrelevant but I consider fascinating. This love for learning, this love for science

has led to me or changes in my life wife shift my decisions, that have sheep to my actions and

my personality. These things have affected many parts of my life the way I communicate with

others how I bond with my family how I think of myself and they have altered my way of

thinking.

I don't know when my love for science or for learning ever started, however I remember

that as a kid whenever I would go to a doctors office or anywhere new, I would ask tons and tons

of questions. I loved to watch shows like Bill Nye the Science Guy are just read a bunch of

nature magazines growing up, I read on many topics with increasing intensity and impact. I read

about things that affected me and those around me including the rest of the world and that led to

a certain understanding that I now have of society and our earth. Through science I've learned

why people act the way they do, why I think what I think. I've learned that people can be

predictably unpredictable. It's extraordinary how much we know and don't know about the

universe, nature, humanity, and earth.

Science means to me a way of helping myself and others. By wanting to learn and grow

as a person, I've realized science is the field of work that I would want to pursue, I would want to

find an end to global warming, or cure illnesses, or learn about space. Since childhood I've

switched between careers I've wanted to pursue, an astronaut, a marine biologist, a chemist, a

doctor and the thing they have in common, is their basis in science. During college I want to

learn as much as I can in order to help others. I want to contribute through research.

My love for learning and science has been shared between me and my family members.

When I was younger my dad taught me about animal science, we would watch documentaries

together and go to zoos. When my dad was out of the picture, I shared science with my youngest

brother, he loved dinosaurs when we were younger and I loved space so we would watch

cartoons and TV shows, and I would read to him. Recently, My oldest brothers and I love to

learn about people, psychology and sociology. Science has made me a more open minded

person, I know understand that thing are relative to everyone. I've become a determined person,

motivated to get ahead and help others. Science made who I am and what I want to be.
