My Ambition In Chemistry

Improved Essays
Statement of Objectives

Whenever my teachers and friends asked me about my aim in life while I was still at school, I used to say merely that I want to be a successful person in society. At that time I was not aware of the exact pursuit and inclination of my mind, nor did I know what it meant to be a successful person! But now, I know the meaning of a successful person; a successful person is one who is well-known to society and his/ her contribution is vital for society and nation. Today I have a crystal clear vision about a successful person in the field of chemistry. My ultimate wish, as I conceive it now, is to be a successful scientist in the field of Organic chemistry.

Previously, when I was at my bachelor’s level, I was in a great dilemma to choose between Biology and Chemistry as my discipline of specialization, because both the subjects were my favorite. I consulted one of my teachers and he suggested me to choose chemistry because in chemistry I could also go to biochemistry – an area I had a natural flair for. He said that opting for this subject would not necessitate me to leave either of the subjects. And he was true because biochemistry happened to be a subject that deals with both nature and nurture. I am keenly interested in human physiology and nature and how they work and how they survive. It

During my involvement as a volunteer in the social organization, my mind used to enthuse me to do something for the society. Whenever I saw people living with HIV I used to find myself helpless, and I would ask myself whether chemistry could help them! I hope gaining a degree in biochemistry at least can me understand more about induced HIV. During my social service, I also saw different obstacles in the community, which motivated me to build strong inclinations to pursue Ph.D in chemistry. My research, I believe, can make at least some contribution for my

    My choice to have biochemistry as my major was the most logical, because for all of my life I have been interested in what life is composed of. I looked at the incredible things that people and animals do and I found that all the intricate working of biology and chemistry that made all of their actions possible, only added to the awesomeness of it all. Another important factor in my life that started my interest into the science of biology was my mother, who has a genetic anemia called Fanconi Anemia. She has lived with this genetic disease for all of her life and it has had a toll on her quality of life. From my earliest memories she has struggled with blood transfusions and bone marrow biopsies.…

    Cutting precisely on the lines, making sure I didn’t stray and accidently cut out part of an article, I carefully extracted the Sudoku puzzle from the daily newspaper before my father came to the breakfast table to read it. Then, working as fast as I could, I began deciphering the puzzle, eliminating numbers I knew didn’t belong in a certain box and writing, in tiny print, all the numbers that could potentially fit. Gradually, as the pieces came together, the completed puzzle unfolded. I glanced at the clock, scarfed down my cereal (which had gone soggy), and raced out the door just in time to catch the bus. During my hour long bus ride to school I would reflect on how I had solved the puzzle, wondering if there was a better way to approach…

    When I was in Haiti, I remember sitting in class thinking about how much I love biology and chemistry. Coming back from school, I always told my parents and my little brothers what I learned in those classes. When I came to this country three years ago, my interest in the scientific field grew more. I finally thought deeply about what I wanted to do with my life and decided to major in chemistry. I became so interested that even when I was bored, I went through my chemistry book just to read and learn.…

    The human body is arguably the most researched organism on Earth. The intricate relationship between molecular, anatomical and physiological characteristics of it astounds me, yet what interests me most is not how powerful the human body is as a whole, but how ultimately our physiology can fail us. Studying biology at an undergraduate level will allow me to grasp a deeper understanding as to why this happens, as well as develop my existing knowledge of the mechanisms involved in keeping humans alive. A-level biology has provided me with a broad spectrum of knowledge; topics outlining the function of the body, such as the circulatory system and the immune system, have further stimulated my desire to pursue degree level study.…

    There are many things that shape me into the person I am today. But there is only one occasion that solidly marked my transition from my childhood. I was bored, walking alone one afternoon around the new neighborhood I had just moved in, when a ball slowly rolled to my feet. Casually, I kicked it back and somehow it turned to an amazing goal. The kids applauded and pulled me in for a random soccer game.…

    I have always loved science. As a little girl, topics like the water cycle and the digestive system process interested me, and as a teenager, these topics stimulate a feeling of curiosity and awe in me. I hope to improve this broken world by pursuing a career in microbiology, food science, pharmacy, biopharmaceutical engineering, or biomedical engineering. I would love to attend the CHI Health Care Career Exploration Camp because I believe that it will help me narrow down my career choice. Other reasons are because of the vital information that I will receive about a career in the health industry, and because I believe that this experience would positively impact my future in a scientific career.…

    I studied brain and behaviour during my first year of clinical medicine, and found that I was particularly intrigued by neuroscience. Throughout my year at Barts and the London, I thought a lot about whether the course was right for me, and began considering other options. I struggled to feel passionate about the course and my future as a doctor, but decided to complete the year to confirm my feeling that a career in medicine was not right for me. During this year, however, I developed a particular interest in the study of the brain, brain development and human behaviour. These lectures became the highlight of the year, and made me really keen to learn more about the subject.…

    To me, a career in medicine exemplifies the perfect amalgamation between the fascinating precision of science and the compassionate and holistic approach of patient centred care. Given the opportunity, I would love nothing more than to gain the skills and knowledge to combine the two. My devotion to the sciences is reflected in my choice of A level subjects, and my school award for chemistry received last year further illustrates my unfaltering enthusiasm. Moreover, I was able to excel in AS level Sociology illustrating my commitment to an antireductionist world view, enhancing my understanding of public health and the vital role of health promotion in patient care. This is an area I am eager to explore further, given the opportunity, during my medical education.…
