It all started out at the reefs of the cold winter season in the Pacific Ocean. Against all odds there was Iro the jellyfish leader realized upon his jellyfish species that they were running out of food on their land. Benko and Seno the twins, the leaders of the sea turtles ruled the next land after them and made an agreement between Iro since long time ago during the massacre of the jellyfish and turtles for land. It was to never cross each others place or another war would break out between each other . Slowly dying jellyfish after jellyfish, Iro knew he had to do something and that was to cross the boundary that separates the jellyfish and the turtles and find a spot for sheltering with food for the jellyfish.…
As I stood on the board, I imagined myself soaring through the air, picturing every move I made until sliding into the water as perfectly as possible. I competed as a Springboard Diver for six years. Diving helped me discover and further explore the nature behind what motivates me and keeps me mental strong and capable, which is now an immense aspect of who I am. Although I am no longer a Springboard Diver, it still influences aspects of my everyday life. Diving is unique in how it is more mentally taxing than it is physically.…
Despite non-selection, my pursuit of this prestigious and challenging position will not be deterred. My naval career, I have continually sought positions of greater responsibility and produced exceptional results in each of those positions. While I take great pride in being a Chief Petty Officer, I feel the experience I have acquired as a Chief will benefit any wardroom I am a member of. It is important to note that I did not submit an LDO-CWO package for FY-14 due to the time constraints I experienced while standing up Naval Beach Unit SEVEN with an under staffed office and operational commitment.…
I thought the field trip was very interesting. All areas of the museum had parts that intrigued me, and in many areas I could connect what I saw to our science class. My favorite part of the trip was going into the exhibit of human origins. My least favorite was the Hall of Ocean Life.…
I have learned that long-term career / professional goals are best achieved when we break them into shorter goals. My short-term goal is to join and add value in a professional dynamic organization by applying my knowledge, skills and experience, working in line with the company vision and values in order to achieve a common goal. As part of a team, I want to add value and continue to grow the company. My long term goals is to leave legacy and be the asset of that…
There is a fire that ignites within me when I talk about my aspirations in life. A fire that burns so brightly that it can not only be seen physically in the way my hazel eyes light up, but felt radiating from my soul through the conversations that others have with me. Even when I was younger this fire always burned within me to better the world and aid those suffering in it. For some of my friends this same fire manifested into them becoming doctors, for me however it manifested into becoming a marine mammal veterinarian.…
An important basketball player once said, “Never say never because limits, like fears, often are an illusion.” Michael Jordan was saying that you can run from those illusions or you can challenge them. When I was in 6th grade, an important person told me that I should join Sunfish Swimming. I wasn’t really sure what to make of that and laughed it off. A week later, I was told that there would be a swim meet and that I should go and see if it would be something I was interested in. So I agreed, just to see what it would be like. We drove to Fargo and watched the swim meet. When I came back I was not sure if I would be able to handle it and be under that kind of pressure. But they talked me into it, and I said yes to swimming a few days…
I have a deep interest in the ocean and marine life, which was fostered when my family and I moved to the Pacific Coast. This interest grew further after I went on a backstage tour to the aquarium at the Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. Due to this continuous exposure to the ocean and the creatures that live there, I am focusing my education around my interest in marine life. It's for this reason that I’m majoring in Marine Biology with a minor in Chemistry. With this education, my goal is to become an Aquarist, and build my way up to becoming an ocean or aquarium diver. As a diver, I want to have the opportunity to study coral reefs, and create and implement conservation plans. In addition, I want to study sea turtles and ways to conserve their declining…
For my first biology test I received a grade that I am not proud of. To be completely honest the night before the test I attended a concert and didn’t get to sleep until two in the morning. This optical is defiantly something that I could have avoided. I should not have attended the concert, or at least I should have prepared myself weeks in advance knowing that I had a concert the night before. This is my second time taking the class and I expected better out of myself. I made the same mistake I did last year by not studying till the week of the test. Another obstacle was my interest, I am not interested in the topics we are discussing but as a student I need to ignore preference and work on doing my best. Most biology test is memory based…
A Lot of people go out on the lake every year to go salmon fishing; I am one of them. I go out salmon fishing every year with my grandfather and brothers. I am an avid angler and fisher whenever I get the chance. what happened this day was something I had never expected to happen.…
Have you ever attempted to do something or get into a program but failed miserably? This past semester I have experienced failure at its best. Last October I was able to attend open house for North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Being a member of the Columbia Urban League helped me find North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. I was able to attend a tour for North Carolina A& T which led me to the open house last October.…
My father always told me that nothing worth having comes easy. I carry these words close to my heart and they have driven me to challenge myself through life, especially in my STEM career. My major in the science field has been similar to riding a roller-coaster, but I have learned to overcome most of the obstacles I have faced along the way. No matter what situation brought me down, I remained positive and tried to think of solutions rather than giving up. Finally, in the last few months, many of my peers would mention that I am the type of person who is able to withstand obstacles and recover quickly.…
Marine biology is more than the scientific study of marine life. Marine biology is the study of marine organisms, their behaviors, and interactions with the environment. Marine biologists study oceanography and the associated fields of chemical, physical, and geological oceanography. Marine biologists are also able to specialize in large aquatic animals, all the way down to microscopic and minuscule organisms. Anything else in between, marine biologists are able to study.…
When you are a kid everything looks amazing and you just want make every dream you have comes true. Probably you dream with be a superhero or maybe to be invisible. Well no everybody has the same dreams; other people just have a simple but deeps dreams. When I was a kid I dreamed with be a Veterinarian, have a lot of money to help my mom, and help others to be happy.…
The fact that 95% of our sea is unexplored has always fascinated me. We use water in everyday life and without it there would be no life on Earth, yet we know so little about it. Both my academic and personal life has developed my interest in marine biology. My interest in wildlife and outdoor work drove me to successfully apply for the post of volunteer assistant at Washington Wetlands centre, I started in January 2013 and attend at least once a week.…
