Personal Narrative: Biomedical Science

In high school, I had the opportunity to learn about a number of different subjects, starting from introduction to engineering to world history. Out of the many choices, there was only one that captivated me: Biomedical science. When I walked into class on the first day of school, I saw a cadaver at the back of my classroom. My teacher had told the class to find out why this lady had died, and I was the first in my class to find out. The poor lady had died from a clogged artery. As a child I had dreamed of being an engineer, exploring and developing complex systems for the world, but on that day I realized that biology was the right path for my future. Earth's organisms never failed to excite me with their seemingly never-ending intricacies.
I knew throughout high school, where I took AP level science courses, that I wanted to be one of the researchers exploring the vast world of science and also encouraging others to do the same.

When I visited your campus I was mesmerized by the number of opportunities and facilities the university encompasses, with its emphasis on extensive research, its student to faculty ratio, and its excellent curriculum. I have already envisioned my schedule through the NC State "Explore Majors" site. With the opportunity to study biology and more, I think NC State's Bachelor in Science program in Biology is just what I am looking for. I strongly believe that attending NC State would put me on the right path to success.
