College Admissions Essay: Going Into High School

437 Words2 Pages

Going into highschool, I was constantly asked by family, friends, and teachers the dreaded question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” While other fifteen year olds at the time seemed to know exactly what their dream occupation was, I had no clue. I went to school, studied, got good grades, but no specific class stood out to me as a favorite. This continued until I took my first chemistry class in my freshman year and my blurry idea of my future started to come into focus. From the beginning, I was immediately intrigued in chemistry. I think what I enjoy about it the most is that it is such a broad field to explain the foundations of nearly everything in nature. After freshman year, I took AP Chemistry to further my knowledge of chemistry.
