It was June and I was covered from head to toe in protective clothing. I was headed to check on my struggling bee hives. Once I had gotten into my hives, I realized my hood strap wasn’t closed. It was too late. The next thing I knew a bee had started to crawl inside my hood. I immediately took off sprinting, at full speed, while trying to rip off my hood. Unfortunately, the bee had caught in my hair and the intense buzzing was ripping through my ear drum. After removing the bee from my hair, I listened to my dad burst into laughter. Even though I prefer to keep the bees out of my hood, I knew in that moment beekeeping was something I wanted to continue. Majoring in biology is an interest sparked by my beekeeping. As I learn more about bees and their environmental importance, I …show more content…
I was very unsure of my major until I was bombarded with questions my freshman year such as “Where do you see yourself in four years?”, “What are you planning on majoring in?” These questions seemed to linger in the back of my mind for my entire highschool career. It wasn’t until senior year, that I realized that biology was my passion. Beekeeping was what initially sparked my interest in biology at a young age. However, health science courses offered at Swain County High also influenced my decision in picking a major. After taking health team relations my freshman year, I was drawn into the health science pathway. Which had a major impact on my education and individual interests. Whether I was dissecting a cow’s eye in anatomy and physiology or learning about the diseases of the human body, I was very constantly captivated in class. I think it was important to learn hands on rather than googling images of what a cow’s eye looks like because of the experience it allowed me to have. Without beekeeping or my health science courses, I don’t think I would have established my
At 17 years old, I had the grueling task of deciding how I wanted to spend 40 plus years of my life. I always aspired to land a career in the medical field, so I majored in biology like most pre-med hopefuls, but during my junior year, I no longer desired to become a physician. The medical field was calling out to me, but the specialty of focus was incorrect. After graduation, I went back to the basics and put my nursing assistant certification to use.
Sue Monk Kidd has carefully crafted a book rich in symbolism with special emphasis on bees. Each section’s heading features the inner workings of this communal society (Emanuel, Catherine, B. 3). An epigraph at the beginning relating to bees sets the tone for the each chapter. The first chapter epigraph states: The Queen, for her part, is the unifying force of the community; if she is removed from the hive, the workers very quickly sense her absence. After a few hours, or even less, they show unmistakable signs of queenlessness.” Man and Insects.
When it comes to Sherlock Holmes and his apprentice, people will tend to think about Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Laurie R. King wrote a book that introduced a new apprentice to Sherlock Holmes, Mary Russell. Together the two solve cases that would make them grow as person and enrich their life. The book, The Beekeeper’s Apprentice by Laurie R. King, followed the theme of the the journey of apprentice and master and how it changes them was supported and shown through the characters and setting.
Last week, The students that attended Ridgedale Middle School have to run a mile semi annually for physical education. This seems like a normal event, but in one of the trees, lays a gigantic nest with yellow and black insects entering and exiting. This Hornets nest can fall at any second! And yet, they still have students running underneath it. For “The Mile,” the students of Ridgedale Middle School(RMS) could have been drastically injured! Many students have drawn the conclusion that this nest is is responsible for all of the bees on the grass field, in front of the school. Above, this nest is hanging on a 50ft branch, which is something that even the oldest grade, eighth grade, didn’t even knew existed;”All this time, I’ve been running
It was a normal, peaceful Wednesday morning in Tuscon, Arizona. Four landscapers were called to tend to a yard for a ninety-year-old man. One of them turned on his lawnmower. Almost immediately, the vibration of its engine had disturbed an enormous hive of approximately 800,000 Africanized bees nearby. The noises appeared to be a threat to the colony. As a result, thousands of them swarmed the men, injected their venom, and clogged their orifices up, such as their ears and nostrils. There were so many bees that one of the first responders had described the sky getting dark from the flock, although it was sunny out. From this attack, one man died and another received one hundred stings. This one of the many examples
I further considered what the major was all about I thought more to myself about it. I was motivated by how passionate my high school agriculture teacher was while teaching his students. He never doubted a student and their ability to do something and always motivated students to do things they normally wouldn’t. This would be the greatest influence while making my decision to become an agriculture teacher in hopes that someday I would be half the teacher Mr. Schraufnagel was. A week later I would talk to Mr. Schraufnagel about the decision I would be making to attend college in River Falls.
I chose Biology as my major primarily because of my interest in human biology. After taking many Biology courses I have developed a fascination
It wasn’t until my senior year in high school when I realized that I needed to decide what to choose as a career field in which I actually had an interest in pursuing. My aunt handed me a bunch of pamphlets that dealt with a variety of different career types: business, criminal justice, education, etc. That was when I came across the healthcare field. I have always loved being able to help others as much as I am able to. There were plenty of field’s that sounded interesting but that’s when I came across the one that I was eager to begin my college career on.
He sees me and grins at me in such a way that melts my insides and makes my legs feel like jelly. Then the bees in my stomach have started again, they're buzzing and buzzing and buzzing and - ouch. All the bees sting me simultaneously. I'm doubled over, groaning at the overwhelming pain that's crippling me but I'm smiling and embracing the girl that's appeared by his side. But my smile's too wide and my hug too tight. I'm positive they can tell.
As I began college, I decided not to choose a major at first. It was not until the beginning of this semester that I declared Biology as my major. I have always been interested in science, and it has always been one of my best subjects. Since I was little, my dream has been to become a doctor. As I have taken more classes, trying to weed out what I do and do not like, I have discovered that sciences are what interest me the most. Currently I have an emphasis in pre-professional studies which means that my major is leading me to attend a medical school after I graduate from Arkansas State University.
Being of Indian descent, my parents had always pushed me to pursue a degree in Biology. But, I did not personally fall in love with it until my fourth year at Rutgers. I started my freshman year taking courses just to fill the requirements for my degree. I didn’t even declare my major until my third year because my heart nor my mind was focused on what I was doing.
Although I excelled in high school biology and health classes, I knew that choosing a major down that route would never be an option for me. I wanted my major to be one that I was passionate about, making learning something I craved to do. At the end of junior year, my school
One of the many issues I faced as a collage student was choosing the correct major. I did not know what I wanted to accomplish after collage once I entered the work force. I had always seen myself in business somewhere but I never had a revelation on which major was the best for me. I realized that I needed some direction to my life and that I couldn’t get through collage without choosing a career path to take.

Now, most of the people decide to go to college or university after graduates from high school. College major is the compass for a student in future. The major is variable in a lot of fields; everyone should pick at least one. I realized I chose biology as my specific major is a good advance for me later. I want to follow my passion for the medical field; I feel interested in learning more about science; it will support me well in the future.
