College Admissions Essay: My Love For Chemistry

359 Words2 Pages

Growing up as a child of an immigrant mother and father, I was told to go to school, be successful academically, and land a well-paying job. Thus, in my younger years the majority of the classes I have taken felt more like chores and not something I enjoy learning. However, that all changed when I took chemistry in the second year of high school. I was incredibly fascinated and intrigued by how the world is created by the arrangement of molecules and within these molecules has even smaller particles of atoms and even smaller particles of protons, neutrons, and electrons. My love for chemistry has given me a sense of discovery as well as reviving and receiving a purpose for learning other subjects. For instance, math, which used to be a mindless

    This comes back to me where I would get good grades and I would be able to pass the class but that was it. I did not fully understand the material I just knew what I needed to pass it and be able to be the “good student” that colleges and businesses look for. After looking back on this, I like Rodriguez realized that there might be more to life than just getting grades and making the schools and businesses

    In life I have noticed leadership to be a key attribute of mine. This was not a quality I would seek to obtain, it was more like one bestowed upon me. Growing up I was the second oldest and only daughter of four children. Though we were rich in spirit, financial hardships made it difficult and at times impossible to fulfill the basic needs and wants of most kids. With the odds stacked against us, I began at a young age to realize that I had to take charge, I had to make a change, I had to lead.

    It has been so amazing taking this class because so many things are developed from the knowledge of chemistry. Before this class, I have never realized how much of my life actually revolved around it. It is so awesome to think that every time I go into my room and see the painting on the wall, chemistry was used to come up with the optimal paint used for it. It is also fascinating that temperature has such a large role in the compound of the paint itself. I have always noticed that the paint on houses in Arizona always seems to chip faster that the houses in a slightly colder area.

    With a Bachelors and Master’s degree in a field which I love, I will be able to pursue my dream of working and administrating a laboratory. While enrolled at the University, I fell in love with the studies of Microbiology but felt the need to maintain my original major of Biochemistry. My initial major choice of Biochemistry was greatly influenced by my teachers at Foxcroft Academy, George Rolleston and Robert Weber. Mr. Rolleston made Chemistry interesting for me as I eagerly took every course which he offered. By the end of my junior year, I had taken all Chemistry courses offered at Foxcroft Academy and had my mind set upon a college career involving Chemistry as well.

I would like to go to college to gain knowledge and to accomplish a rite of passage. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to know what a certain concept meant or was, I wanted to know how the earth revolved around the sun, and I wanted to know why the dinosaurs were not present. Now, I want to understand what human nature is, how neurons generate electrical impulses, and why humans are considered a superior species.

    Knowing how to sing is a blessing that may come naturally to some people, but to others it requires practice and effort to learn how to properly develop this gift. Having seen many live performances and having a dad who could sing was an inspiration for me to develop such a talent. Music has always been my passion, and I knew that singing would give me another exciting opportunity to enjoy the feeling performance creates. I did not have a natural voice from a young age so learning to sing was challenging and pushed me beyond my orchestral limits--emotionally and physically--but with the strong desire I had and the toil I was willing to endure when learning this art, I persevered to becoming a singer.

    Thinking back then, I only view mathematics as a subject where complying was the only thing that matters rather than thinking and appreciating its uses in real world problems. Surprisingly, this course brought me back to reality and engraved an idea, or should I say, a reminder, that what I thought back then was wrong because mathematics itself is one of the reasons for our continuous advancements in life. An example can be seen from our industry wherein the production of goods is now simplified and even faster than how it was before, this is because of the production setups (different mixing tanks) and the existence of machines which were the fruits of sciences and mathematics. Now if you think about it, production factories were not designed
