Biochemistry Personal Statement

Decent Essays
I plan to attend Indiana University and earn a Masters degree in biochemistry. I have always been fascinated with science, I actually did my best to take every science class available at my high school, everything from wildlife biology, to chemistry, to physics. While taking all these different classes, I realized that out of the many branches of science I prefer biology and chemistry. I want to combine those two and study biochemistry at Indiana University, in order to work in a hospital as a lab technician. I want to help people, but I know that I am not exactly a people person. Instead of being their nurse or doctor, I will be the person who gives the doctor the evidence to determine a diagnosis. I want to be behind the scenes, running tests

    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.…

    I finished High School and my Associate Degree almost at the same time. Almost immediately I enrolled in the Biology B.A program at St Thomas University. Regrettably, because of my work load I was not able to keep up with the studying, so I decided to change majors into business, although I did finish with a minor in biological sciences. I graduated from St Thomas University, but I was not satisfied. I had always wanted to get into the health field, so I decided to continue my education with a degree in…

    I may end up doing information technology or something else once I go through all the strands. Your school offers so many choices that it could cause me to do or attempt other things outside of what I like. Human services would be one. I always have hated science and biology. I never really have been interested in health.…

    Notably, I have always loved anything science related, even when growing up I would study my mom's biomedical flash cards. No wonder why I have chosen to pursue a major in biology. Moreover, when you are a child you start transcending into what you are destined to be without even noticing it. Whilst becoming fascinated with science I wanted to solve the problem of poverty, building housing for the poor, providing a fresh supply of clothes, and guiding them to find jobs or better yet create jobs for them to do would be amazing. Getting accepted into Saint Leo University can guide me onto the pathway of success.…

    I have chosen to work towards a degree in dental surgery because of my interest in the sciences, medicine, and in research. My interest for undergraduate research has increased significantly since attending Hendrix College and my experiences thus far has made me a very well rounded student allowing me to study what I love, participate in athletics, and many other service organizations that Hendrix offers. Initially, I intended on majoring in Health Sciences, but decided against that as I realized that I was completely enthralled with chemistry and noted our outstanding chemistry department. This led me to my decision to pursue a Biological Chemistry/Molecular Biology degree to help me in my pursuit of dental school. Hendrix is providing…

    I plan on taking as many transferable science credits as I can here, then move on to Iowa State University for an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and a graduate degree in Veterinary Medicine, large and small animal. Because I am still on my parent's insurance plans, I cannot be considered for any need based financial aid, as my father is a software engineer at Rockwell Collins, though my parents are not financing my education; thus I have come up with a few ideas to keep the threat of accepting loans at bay for a while longer. These involved earning certification as a Phlebotomist Technician and as a Nursing Assistant, practically guaranteeing a job that will provide both clinical and laboratory experience, as well as avoiding a career in fast food.…
