I have always found enjoyment in discovering obscure and unusual facts about the body, then going onto tell others about my discovery. For this reason, biology has always had a magnetic effect on me. I find it incredible how life is in essence just a combination of molecules which then come together to create another more complex molecule, and so on, eventually leading to an organism as complex as the human body.
Studying biology to A2-Level, I have been introduced to biological processes which I had previously not heard of. I believe my desire to study biology is driven by a desire to learn more about the unknown. I find the process of protein synthesis, DNA replication and respiration to be captivating to say the least. The discovery of how pathogens transfer anti-biotic resistance genes between each other, not …show more content…

It is an international road marching event which attracts tens of thousands of people from around the world. It consists of marching over 100 miles around the city over a 4 day period.

I would develop much greater interpersonal skills, working with a range of people, differing from those experienced during my time in the ATC, a quality needed to be an officer in command of upwards of 30 subordinates.
By having higher level education, I would be able to further my career if the RAF were not to work out. The role as a genetic councillor has been an interest of mine since first hearing of the job in my biology lessons. A degree in a biological area would therefore be very useful in attain this
