    The field of science fascinated me even throughout high school. In my Sophomore biology class we worked on a project involving microorganisms from a local pond and from that point forth I knew that this was my dream job. I asked my Biology teacher, Mr Goudy, if he knew how the job market looked for a microbiologist and when he said that it was a growing field, it only made my passion for the study intensify. He also informed me of the growing need due to bacteria developing resistances to the medicines that we currently use at a faster than ever rate. I now have come to Iowa State because I know of the great biology program that the school offers and I wish to eventually graduate from the program with a degree that could lead me to a variety…

All of these negative terms were how I used to interpret the meaning behind this so-called disability. From kindergarten through eighth grade, all of my teachers at the private school I attended, Oregon Episcopal School, were well aware of this quality that made me different than the majority of the students. Imagine falling in a ditch alone and unnoticed struggling to climb out, through many different approaches focussing on how to succeed, I was fortunate enough to have teachers who have helped me build a bridge to get over that ditch. The other side of the bridge seemed too far to see at one point but I was never alone.…
