Biological Anthropology Personal Statement

As a small kid, I have always look out the window of my parent’s car and just stared at all the different types of cars people drive. I was always fascinated with sports cars and how they differentiate so much to regular family sedans, which eventually over time lead to my interest of cars. Over the course of my life my interests in cars have lead me to different websites, car clubs, and even people to learn more information about different types of automobiles. Up until the beginning of my freshmen year of college, school subjects were never on the same interest to me as my outside enjoyments. Now since I have completed almost a year and half of business school, my interest has changed then what they were as a child. My interests for business …show more content…
Not knowing much about science I took a recommendation from my sister and decided to dive in to biological anthropology. If you do not know anything about biological anthropology it is the study of how we have changed biologically because of evolution. This is one of the first classes I have taken where I started to become interested in questions we do not know the answers too. Thus, I started to study deeper into the topic learning information that I never would have learned in class. Now I find myself watching different science documentary trying to learn more and more about the world to expand my knowledge even deeper. I hope for my interest in science will help me become more a well-rounded individual and even allow for the ability to have a conversation with someone that could open different networks to help me succeed in …show more content…
At first I was confused and did not know what exactly what I wanted to do, it took almost a year of school and research to finally figure out what my heart really desires. After taking classes on different business subjects I finally understood basic understanding of what a business needs to succeed. I started brain storming different ideas I could use to create my own business. When I realized being a finance major falls along the same goals and interest I want to achieve in my future. Thanks to different opportunity and classes I have been able to take I have decided I want to be to create my own investment firm. With this firm I want to be able to buy and sell medical practices to different doctors, and maybe pick up other assets along the way I find interesting. My knowledge from University of Arkansas has continue to drive me forward to achieve my goals, and add on to my business

    Being a 16-year –old, and having taken my first semester of college classes this semester with my high school classes on top of that, all here at CSN, has been an unforgettable experience. On the other hand, from the three college classes I have enrolled in, including German 111, Communications 101, and Anthropology 101, I have, in my opinion, learned the most with my Anthropology 101 class. This class has been a great and interesting experience that has allowed me to view the world in a different way than most people. To illustrate, even though I thought most of the things we discussed in class like linguistics and archaeology were interesting, I consider learning about ethnology the most memorable and fascinating concept for me. To illustrate,…

    Since an early age, I have always wanted to be involved with health sciences, and I have work as hard as I can to accomplish this dream.

    My interest in physics was initially ignited during my sophomore year. I signed up for AP Physics 1, taught by a teacher in his first year, right out of college. His main goal was to encourage students to apply physics to the world around them and identify the relevancy of the course material. I was immediately hooked and I bought book after book about Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the Big Bang, and quantum mechanics. I was eager to learn as much as I could; in doing so, I realized that working in a laboratory setting, conducting experiments and applying equations, is something that I am truly passionate about.…
