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.

Darwin founded a new branch of life science‚ evolutionary biology. Four of his contributions to evolutionary biology are especially important‚ as they held considerable sway beyond that discipline. The first is the nonconstancy of species‚ or the modern conception of evolution itself. The second is the notion of branching evolution‚ implying the common descent of all species of living things on earth from a single unique origin. Many people are familiar with how Darwin came up with the theory of

EARLY CHILDHOOD Parents label early childhood‚ which extends from 02 to 06 years‚ as the problem‚ the troublesome or the toy-age; by educators as the Pre-school-age; and by psychologists as the Pre-gang‚ the exploratory‚ or the Questioning-age. Physical development proceeds at a slow rate in early childhood but the physiological habits‚ whose foundations are laid in babyhood‚ become well established. Early Childhood is regarded as the teachable moment for acquiring skills because children

would like to be a marine biologist. During my senior year of high school I applied to Millersville University to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Biology‚ with a concentration in marine biology. Through my undergraduate studies‚ my interest in biological oceanography developed. There are many overlapping aspects of biological oceanography and marine biology that interest me and why I want to pursue a graduate degree in this field. I am particularly interested in marine phytoplankton‚ their role in

Chondrichthyes were my motivation to get involved and stick with Marine Biology no matter the challenges. Growing up I found comfort in sharks. Due to media and lack of understanding sharks were viewed only as malevolent killing machines. I thought this false‚ constraining label was unjust and unwarranted. Just as sharks had a constraining label I was stereotyped to be at best average when it came to academics. I had a minor learning disability that made reading and writing a major obstacle. After
