My adventure with science began in childhood. The initial appeal of it was how challenging some questions could be. Over time my interests started to gradually shift towards mathematics, because I always felt the need to look for general solutions to the problems I faced. While I still have a keen interest in physics I tend to fell more comfortable when doing mathematics. I find the beauty of its abstractions and the ability to address a wide range of problems by generalizing them, to be unparalleled. Until recently my only source of knowledge regarding mathematics, were the books I could find. I used to live in a small city and couldn’t find anyone willing to teach me the topics I found interesting. Nevertheless, the time I spent exploring …show more content…
As already mentioned I spend much of my time learning physics and computer science. Two days after the application deadline for Mathcamp I will be attending research workshops during which I intend to describe the inconsistencies in time measurments on earth. As for entirely non-academic interests I have been playing classical and bass guitar for over five years. I used to be a member of a couple of bands and performed on various events such as the Grand Finale of The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. I even succeeded in a couple of regional competitions while playing in my school …show more content…
I would choose to attend lectures covering various topics, with a slight focus on algebra and number theory, boh which I am becoming more interested in with every passing day. Needless to say, there is no other programme that can offer this much in terms of academic development. An equally important aspect of Mathcamp is the social interaction it offers. I am an open person and don’t fear new experiences. For these reasons I would have no trouble making friends with other participants. Whether everyone enjoys such camps depends on the attitude of other participants. I am confident that mine would make the experience more enjoyable for everyone
I have always excelled at math and science. Sophomore year, I had to decide whether I would take regents or honors physics in my junior year. I was already going to take AP biology, and I had planned on signing up for regents physics so that I wouldn't get too overwhelmed by science courses. Everyone warned me that honors physics was a tough class. However, I ended up taking the honors because my friend didn't want to be alone in that course. This is one of the best choices I've made in my life. I loved my honors physics class. Physics allows me to apply my math knowledge into real world situations that I can visualize and even test experimentally. Additionally, it requires me to problem solve and think problems through meticulously, which I love.
I became interested in the STEM camp because I believe this camp will benefit me an enormous deal in the future. Attending the camp will support my future academic goals. In college, I intend to specialize in science, math, and technology. The STEM camp will help develop my educational interests and provide a glimpse into what I can expect from studying the areas of math, science and technology and engineering. I know that my future career will involve knowledge in these subjects and I want to do everything possible to allow myself to be exposed to whatever educational opportunities that can help me develop these skills. I would also like to have an experience at UTRGV because it is one of my possible college choices at this
I am a dedicated and conscientious student in class, and a key member in many extra-curricular activities. As a keen musician, playing violin, trombone and piano, I contribute to a number of musical ensembles in school and played an integral part in the organisation of our school’s summer concert. I am also a member of several local youth orchestras and bands, with whom I have toured abroad many times, most recently to Italy, France and Belgium.
Essay #1: Describe why you wish to enroll at WMU Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. You should describe any connection you have to southwest Michigan.
Before my undergraduate freshman year, I have been searching for a field that I would be passionate about. In the summer, I would participate in an event that can enhance my skills. Notably, the program called Joaquin-Bustoz Math-Science Honors Program (JBMSHP) increased my love for math and science. The students spend eight hours per day learning a math course. Using the mathematical contents, my teammate and I built up a research topic to work for the eight week of the program. Every day, many students stayed up until 2PM to complete over 75 math problems. If the homework was lower than an 80%, we would go to a night tutoring. The program was intense and nerve-wrecking. In the beginning, I was doubting myself if I could ever continue it until
As a graduate student in School of Media and Communication, Pan-Atlantic University, I have acquired so many skills ranging from corporate communications, public relations, brand communications, advertising, Search Engine Marketing (SEM), advanced writing, public speaking, just to mention a few.
Secondly, I love to learn and know more about science in general. When I was a student in high school, I spent most of my time to learn and solve the problems with biology, chemistry, math, and physics. For example, one of my assignment for biology is a research about the genetic disorders
Ever since I was a child, I have loved science. I learned at a young age to always keep asking questions and to never settle with just simply not knowing something. The thought of how everything works on a molecular level never ceases to fascinate me. I have other interests spanning multiple fields, but none can compare to my love of science. I quite enjoy being in the labs and getting to do experiments to uncover answers that were otherwise unknown to me. It is that curiosity and interest that keeps my fascination towards the realm of science strong.
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.
So much can be explained through basic postulates that have been constructed from physics. The classical mechanics that dictate the motion of the human body, the electrical systems that form the basis of impulses in nerves and cardiac tissue, and so much more, captured my attention. In addition, even the mind-bending concepts of physics, such as quantum mechanics, fascinated and perplexed me. Time and time again, I would find ideas from physics enchanting. Though potentially putting my grades on the line, I decided to pursue physics as my core field of study.
Having taken nearly every science-based course offered at my school, my love for the field has not diminished. It has, however, narrowed itself in focus. My excitement over science has now become a passion for
My hobby is playing football , I learn the ability to work in a team for achieving a goal . Nevertheless , I encountered some difficulties in science , but I enjoy learning about chemistry and biology because once
I have always been interested in science and the way things work. My interest in the medical field started by the time I was in kindergarten. However, I was interested in being a veterinarian at that point in my life. I loved and still do love animals, but changed to wanting to be a human nurse when I was in middle school. I would always go to appointments with my grandparents and parents when I was younger. Watching blood work being taken and the way a doctor would contort an MRI always sparked an interest in me.
Science has always been a big part of my life. My dad was a biology major in college, I have an aunt who is a biologist, and an uncle who’s an astronomer. It’s always been a factor in my life, and something that has helped to shape my interests and who I
Maths is ubiquitous in our lives, but depending on the learning received as a child it could inspire or frighten. If a child has a negative experience in mathematics, that experience has the ability to affect his/her attitude toward mathematics as an adult. Solso (2009) explains that math has the ability to confuse, frighten, and frustrate learners of all ages; Math also has the ability to inspire, encourage and achieve. Almost all daily activities include some form of mathematical procedure, whether people are aware of it or not. Possessing a solid learning foundation for math is vital to ensure a lifelong understanding of math. This essay will discuss why it is crucial to develop in children the ability to tackle problems with initiative and confidence (Anghileri, 2006, p. 2) and why mathematics has changed from careful rehearsal of standard procedures to a focus on mathematical thinking and communication to prepare them for the world of tomorrow (Anghileri).
