My Love For Chemistry

Decent Essays
What I love about chemistry is the constant sense of discovery. Since I was a child, the world around me has always captivated my attention and curiosity. This curiosity led me to question and explore the world around me. When I finally took chemistry, in high school, I felt as though I had finally found the answers to all my questions. Through my high school years, I have tried to well round myself by taking different types of sciences, by doing so I have only cemented my previous feelings for chemistry. Reflecting on how I felt such a monumental connection with chemistry, I have seen that the subject has influenced me to major in Biochemistry and later on pursue a career as a doctor. The fact that becoming a doctor will allow me to use …show more content…
Because I took such challenging chemistry courses and was able to succeed in them, they have given me a new kind of confidence which has influenced me to be a better student in school. Since my first chemistry class, I have tried to get as involved with the sciences offered at my school. I constantly go to Saturday study sessions that are given at my school in order to get ahead in my science classes. I also attended “Dia De Ciencias” at UCR to get further involved with the STEM programs and to see if majoring in Biochemistry was right for me.
I know that by majoring in Biochemistry and becoming a doctor in my future I will always feel joy and satisfaction with my life because they all have chemistry within them. I find this subject so interesting and fascinating, enough so I will be basing my career and entire future on it.

Since I want to become a doctor later on in my life I knew that I could only allow this experience to academically affect me in a positive way. Instead of becoming a person who lost focus on school, I was able to show that through this experience I became a resilient person that did better in school. I will later in my life need to be resilient and now because becoming a doctor is a tough career path and I can not allow myself to give up each time someone tells me I can not be a doctor.
So although this was by far the most painful situation I have ever gone through because it was like losing a parent, a best friend, I will not let it bring me down. I will show how out of this situation I have grown and have turned these series of tragedies into my strengths and motivation to become a doctor one day. (357)

    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 will be taking general chemistry and biology—both are the foundation of their field. When I master the material taught in those classes, I will be better prepared for my future courses in chemistry and biology. Since I was in elementary school, my father emphasized the importance of understanding the material rather than just knowing and getting the correct answer. I followed his advice, but I did not actually see the difference between knowing and understanding until spring 2014.…

    “Thank you.” This was the simple yet meaningful response a patient’s husband gave to the emergency physician as I observed from the corner of the room. It was determined through a plethora of laboratory studies and clinical intuition that the patient was suffering from hepatorenal syndrome, secondary to her battle with metastatic colorectal cancer that spread to her liver. Her husband knew the prognosis, but this time she would be unable to recover. Despite the manic pace of the emergency department, Dr. Gregg took time to carefully explain the patient’s situation.…

    Ever since I was a child I wanted to help people and didn’t realize how, until I stepped foot in my 7th grade science class. The day still replays in my mind like it was yesterday. I was walking into a new school, with new people, and I felt like the last leaf stuck on the tree, waiting to fall in place where I belonged, but oddly enough, this one basic anatomy and physiology class made me feel welcomed. What made me feel welcomed wasn’t really the teacher or the students in there, but the environment of that particular branch of science. What was so amazing about that side of science was there was always more to learn and more importantly you were learning about yourself.…

    In my first semester of college, I have been exposed to so much and I have learned so much. Learning Basic Medical Science has allowed me to learn a variety of new things that I had never even heard of before or done before like immunohistochemistry, solving case studies, and T1/T2 translational research. Immunohistochemistry was really interesting and complex. At first, I overlooked it because I thought it was my over my head and not applicable to me at the moment. Then, over time I noticed that we talked about it several class periods, so clearly it had some significance to us currently.…
