Compound Chemistry Personal Statement

Science has allowed us to realize our negative impact on the earth and fight to put laws in place to protect nature. Chemistry and Romanticism and Revolution inspires me to think creatively and critically in order to truly be an innovator and a

After taking AP Chemistry, I knew that I wanted to study chemistry in college. I also have been a very inquisitive person my whole life, wondering why things are and how things worked. My inquisitive nature and love of chemistry is why chemical engineering appeals to me. I am drawn to Biomedical engineering due to its application of both chemistry and biology to solve medical problems. Doing a complete 360, I am interested in art history, because not only do I find art fascinating, but I also find it mesmerizing how artists visually represent and were inspired by the world around them.

Until about 2 years ago I was not quite sure what path I would choose for my future career, let alone what path I would choose when I arrived at college. I tended to be adept at subjects such as science and mathematics throughout my high school life, however I was never particularly fond of any one subject in particular. However, that changed my senior year of high school when I enrolled in AP Chemistry. I was intrigued by chemistry when I attended the pre-AP Chemistry course, however I was not particularly interested at that moment. However, AP Chemistry came with a plethora of hands-on experiments and procedures that existed to illustrate basic concepts of chemistry. Although it may sound mundane, I was amazed at some of the concepts we learned being implemented in front of our eyes, and I was especially

It all started when I was chosen to join an invention competition that was held in Indonesia. I had the opportunity to expose myself to the full range of the chemical and engineering courses, in which it helped to reinforce and solidify my intense interest in Chemistry. During the competition, I had to convince the

During my junior year, I participated in a science competition project that focused on a Zinc Finger Nuclease protein that cuts DNA. With this protein, scientists are looking for a way to cure AIDS by altering the DNA of the HIV virus. As I did research on this topic, I fell in love with the aspect of helping people through science. With a biology and chemistry background, I can figure out the source of error for health problems, and contribute to the overall well-being of patients. Therefore, these two subjects stood out to

I am sitting here completely dumb founded as I think about chemistry. How does chemistry relate to me? How do I relate chemistry? It is such a subject that I am unsure of how it fits into my life other than a class I took in high school. As I dig deeper instead of just scratching the surface, I realize that I use and will be going to use chemistry more and more in my life.

I plan to major in chemical engineering at UNR. Possessing a thirst for discovering how the world functions through the lense of science, I am interning with Dr. Casey in the Chemistry Department to experience chemistry firsthand. Alongside the heavy workload, I will balance volunteering with Dean’s Future Scholars at UNR, I’ve dedicated 200+ hours to the group and look forward to helping out the lives of low-income, first generation kids like myself. I’ll advance from college into the real world examining life at the atomic level while giving back to the

DOW Chemical was number one on my list of targeted places of employment upon graduation, and I was thrilled when I learned of my internship with this diverse and dynamic company. I want to contribute to their vision to “maximize long-term value per share by being the most valuable and respected science company in the world” by coupling the experience I will gain from this placement along with the knowledge obtained from a college degree. Dow’s values of Integrity, Respect for People, and Protecting Our Planet align with my values. My decision to pursue a career in chemical engineering was piqued in high school while I was taking AP Chemistry.

I have always known that I wanted to pursue an education in science; there were simply too many questions in this world that had yet to be answered. Never did I expect my love of music, however, to have truly inspired and intertwined with my love for chemistry. This, I learned, is because my admiration for music and chemistry are one and the same. Music has taught me that chemistry is also a form of art. I first

I am currently enrolled at Queensborough Community College (QCC) as a Science and Mathematics major and I intend to earn a B.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science with a further plan on post-undergraduate studies. QCC has given me insight and new perspective towards science and nature which persuaded me to seek and undertake a research opportunity. I always wanted to be educated enough to carry a research project with the hope to provide a tiny addition to the real-world of invention and discovery. I have interest in Biology from the beginning but I had developed an interest in chemistry in General Chemistry I (CH151) leading me to take Organic Chemistry I (CH251) with Prof. Paris Svoronos. Organic Chemistry course helped me to work on discipline

As a teenager I conducted some semi-serious home chemical synthesis, and found myself enamored with re-creating some very enthralling and unsafe reactions. As I was finishing my Junior year of High School I was wholly unaware of what I wanted to do. I loved Biology, Chemistry, and Nature… this is an integral

Learning Chemistry, Maths and Physics never got me tired. I’ve started to experience enthusiastic feelings towards those subjects during my high school as I was acknowledged to proceed with my upper school in science stream. I couldn’t agree more that being a science student is very challenging as it involves critical thinking which relates with the theories and practical. However, after a couple of months of learning, I came to realize that I have been intrigued by those subjects despite the challenging parts of understanding. Hence, I really look forward to further my studies in Chemical Engineering which involves deeper understanding of those subjects.

Throughout history chemistry has had a large impact on the field of medicine. Things such as

Chemistry is ubiquitous and its prevalence is evident in everything right from environment, biology and even in technology. It is this versatility, which aids me in gaining insight in every field of science. Being a graduate in Bio-analytical Chemistry and Organic chemistry, my enthusiasm and inclination grew towards quantitative and qualitative analysis of natural and synthetic compounds in research laboratory. It is with this passion, I look forward to unravel the mystics of analytical chemistry through theoretical and practical knowledge. Therefore, I would like to apply for the Doctoral Program in Analytical Chemistry at University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth.

In this paper I will address my major, potential minor, rule of chemistry in my future endeavors. A year ago I started conducting a research when I started applying to colleges. I did this research to figure out what universities were my top choices and what majors I was interesting in. I looked up Spanish majors, Engineering, Business, and I found this cool major, Food Science and Technology. I have to tell you that this is one of the coolest majors I have heard of. Not many universities offer this major so I looked up what schools offered this major and that they were nearby because I did not want to go too far away from home and guess what? Remember how I told I wanted to be a
