Undergraduate / "Biology, to answer that question" - Why Georgetown? [3]

Prompt: Please relate your interest in studying at Georgetown University to your goals. How do these thoughts relate to your chosen course of study?

A red rose blossoming in the grass...
Some may see it as a gift for someone special or, to others, a nice lawn decoration. But what do I see? I see the wonder that is nature. I see billions of cellular reactions interacting as a harmonious symphony of life. From the energy-producing mitochondria in the cell to the almost gravity defying movement of water in the phloem, I see it all. I see the reasons for how and why things happen and intend to answers those questions further.

Biology, the study of life in all its forms, is to me the most intriguing of all sciences. It is the study of life from the simple organelles of a cell to the entire biosphere of Earth. Even in my grade school years I can remember being fascinated by the various intricacies within the human body down to the molecular level. And this fascination has never left me, as any of my friends will tell you. Appropriately, I intend to major in Biology through Georgetown College.

Before I had even visited Georgetown University, listened to the information sessions, and spoken with representatives, I knew that Georgetown was a spectacular school. In particular, I had heard quite a lot about the exceptional science department and the post-graduate medical school. And with a new science center to be completed during my sophomore year, the quality and extent of education that Georgetown provides only increases my desire and ability to learn about biology in an effective and accelerated environment. Georgetown University is synonymous with its extensive scientific research, a critical aspect in advancing scientific inquiry for students. In becoming a true biologist, true scientific inquiry is needed and Georgetown provides this at an exceptional level.

Studying to become a Biology major at Georgetown University helps to provide answers to scientific hypotheses from both autonomous research as well as faculty-initiated learning. A school such as Georgetown provides exactly the right conditions to learn and study the nature of the humanity on the most basic level. From this newfound knowledge, I hope to develop new understandings on the relationship between intracranial functions and the development of the human body as well as neurological and organism development. If not for the rest of the world to understand, it is for me to have the satisfaction of knowing "how" cellular interactions affect life at an almost inconceivable level. And Georgetown University, with its profound research and extensive learning experience, will not only answer that question of "how", but will teach me to answer that question on my own as a true biologist.
