STEM Personal Statement
I have always had a passion for the STEM field. Ever since I was a child I have been exposed to biomedical engineering from a young age, have always loved my science and classes, and have had experiences that have introduced me to different fields of STEM. So far I have taken ten STEM classes in Highschool. and my favorite was Biology. I remember loving every second of every lab we did and excelled in them. I have taken 4 lab based courses Pre-AP Biology, Pre-AP chemistry, AP physics and AP Chemistry. Out of all the labs in all the classes, my favorite was the pig section lab. This experience was a very poignant moment for me and I could see myself doing something of that nature as a career. From that moment on I knew that STEM was the right …show more content…
I learned this at events similar to the Paralympics sponsored my father's company.These events showed me what prosthetics can do firsthand and I realized how important they are and how they change millions of lives. During the summer, I attended an academic leadership STEM summer program at Brown University. There I learned about future technologies and we discussed controversial science topics in a debate setting. We delved into the science of clones, AI, space travel, drones, stem cells, GMOs and the branches of engineering. My favorite subjects were cloning and biomedical engineering. During this program, we had to to create a project plan to help our community through STEM. I choose to help save the honey bees. While researching, I discovered that honey bees were dying at an alarming rate and they are vital for our ecosystem. I then found my service project idea. I decided to start a small online company to raise awareness and money for honey bee research. I am doing this because I understand the gravity of the situation we are in and that I need to make a difference in the world. I aspire to go to college for an engineering degree and then go to medical school for pediatric

    In school, I have enjoyed learning sciences especially when the topics are related to human conditions. Ever since learning about general biology in my junior high school years ago, I have on my own taken additional anthropology, psychology, anatomy and chemistry classes from a local college for further enrichment and have grown very fond of learning the complexity in human machinery and interaction. Occasionally I do find learning these topics too weighty to continue. Whenever that happens now, I would always manage to pull through by remembering that particular good day where I acted as 'an orthopedic doctor'.…

    I can still vividly recall the eleven-year-old me fawning over the likes of Lawrence Krauss and Neil Degrasse Tyson. I was completely immersed in everything and anything pertaining to the vast universe beyond our seemingly insignificant world. I thought I had it all figured out. I would devote my life to being an astrophysicist and eventually earn my PhD. I would relish in the pink lettering on my wall that said “Dr. Mia”, but as I approach my late teens, my mind has been bombarded with what-ifs and buts. Irrespective of my change of heart, I still have an intense passion for math and science since it is how we explain the world around us, and that is why I have settled on biomedical engineering.…

    After Graduate School, I hope to have my PhD in psychology or my doctorate in psychiatry. I would like to start out working in jails, talking to criminals and analyzing their brains versus the brain of an average adult to study how the brain reacts with criminal activity and why they do and feel what they do. I have heard that a person can not do that type of work for very long because it is emotionally tasking so after that, I would like to open my own counseling practice up. I would do either marriage and family therapy or focus on teenage depression. Eventually, I would like to retire into school psychology or become a psychology teacher. Also, if I ever have enough money, I will buy a house devoted to taking in stray animals…

    One of my most vivid memories from my childhood was the day I received a plastic toy stethoscope from my grandfather. Years later, I realize how it was not only a new plaything, but one that would inspire me to choose my future career path. While medicine is a tough field of study, I know that it is tougher still to toil the earth as my grandfather did in the hot indian summers. At his side after a long day’s work, I would help him at the night clinic he opened for free vaccinations. As I entered high school, I strived to embody such initiative and leadership by running for the Student Council and serving as Class Representative. Taking AP Biology and AP Environmental Science ignited my fascination about how living organisms and cellular systems effortlessly work together, grow, and adapt to their environment,…

    For me, stem cell research is a more recently discovered passion. After reading a short bit about it in my high school biology textbook, I was very intrigued. Stem cell research has so much potential, from growing whole organs using new 3D printing technology to therapies for many diseases. I even wrote a paper supporting increased government funding for stem cell research and sent it to my local representative. Last semester, for my final paper in my neurology seminar. I was curious about the possibility of using stem cell therapy to treat stroke patients. Several studies have been done on animals, and a study currently underway in the United Kingdom is the first study to use neural stem cells for stroke therapy in humans. It was such an inspiring…

    I decided to study life sciences not only because my major requires it, but because I have a strong interest in learning about how the human body works and interacts in the universe. Being a pre-pharmacy major I am specifically interested in how the body reacts with taking certain medication, along with the side effects of taking the medication. Will a certain part of the body shut down with this medication, will the nerves not be triggered if a medication is taken, or what is the side effects if one medication is taken with another are a few questions I would like to be answered. I would like to understand how the body works on a deeper and more confusing level than I could even imagine now. Life sciences cover such a wide variety of careers…
