I plan to pursue my love of Biology by attaining a degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. I hope to further my knowledge in the clusters The Amazing Red Blood Cell, and Living Oceans in Climate Change at UCSD. While the former appeals to my determination to discover innovative ways to remedy human ailments, the latter appeals to my desire to address the pressing issue of climate change.
My interest in biology began in freshman year. We learned about the different parts to the cell, and I was fascinated how each part played a crucial role into the well being of the body. For example, without mitochondria, our bodies wouldn’t be able to produce sugar , which meant no ATP, and no ATP meant no energy. This led to the next topic, evolution. Charles Darwin discovered that the strongest will survive and that the weak will die off. I began to think about humans instead of the animals in …show more content…
By learning the theories behind molecular biology and cell biology, I will pursue my passion while shedding light on the complex relationship between health and disease. I am eager to learn about how Bio-engineering can provide solutions to a myriad to biomedical challenges. Though not my first choice, Living Oceans and Global Climate Change appeals to my love of sciences. I look forward to exploring the amazing diversity of our oceans while learning about physiological adaptations, marine ecosystems, and the effects of climate change. Discovering ways to prevent greenhouse effect and global warming constitutes one of the challenges of my generation. I am eager to learn about how climate change will affect the atmosphere and the ocean in order to develop an understanding of our ecosystem.
