Personal statement: Noor Amalina Md Yusof
The progression of technology and the effects it has had on civilization has always fascinated me, and generated within me an interest in the Sciences. More recently, I have begun to excel more in Biology than Chemistry or Physics, and this is where I wish to continue my studies. In my opinion, Biological Technologies are an important resource, and are fast becoming more important to industry and medicine, as fields like Bio-Materials and Genetics are developed.
I believe that there are still many new and exciting discoveries waiting to be found, hidden within nature, and of beneficial use to humans and the environment. I want to be a part of the next discovery. For example, how genetic fingerprinting can be used for identification purposes, or how gene technology could be used to incorporate new characteristics into plants that enable them to grow in damaged salt farmland.
Then there is the possibility that biomass, and other renewable biological fuels could be used to at least partially replace the fossil fuels that are beginning to run out, and have been damaging the environment for a long time. …show more content…
I have worked as a teaching assistant, receptionist, and a substitute teacher. Other than skills of teaching or responsibility to do a job properly, the most important lesson I think I have learned is the importance of teamwork. The thing I have learned is that every single person has different abilities, skills, tolerances, likes, and dislikes. The trick is seeing where they fit, like the pieces to a puzzle. After finishing my education, I have considered research as a career. In a long run, I always picture myself teaching to the people who as fascinated in this field as I did. My background in teaching not only made me realized how passionate I am in teaching, but also taught me that there are seas of knowledge which yet to be discovered and I want to start the long incredible journey
