Science Internship Personal Statement

Improved Essays
There are many reasons why I would like to participate in the Science Research Internship Program. Most notably I am interested in going into a career that is in the realm of science.

At the time this was a hop skip and a leap out of my comfort zone. I feared that I would have to meet new people and was required to express myself in poetry to others that I had just meet.

However, this Internship is something that I would be greatly disappointed in myself for not applying
