Undergraduate / BIOLOGY; Queen's 2012 PSE/ My goals for my time there [14]
In an essay of 300 words, or fewer (approximately 1950 characters with spaces), write about your goals for your time at Queen's University and beyond.
I am still unsure about the conclusion and the second last paragraph...it seems a little too cliche
Is there anything else i can do to edit this?
Inspiration can be found anywhere. It can be exhilarating--mysterious even--to be constantly learning from our surroundings, especially within the natural world. Throughout my experiences, I have come to realize that 'the study of organic life', biology, has been the place I turn to for my inspiration.
For me, biology is not arcane knowledge hidden within moldy textbooks. Biology is the bobbing of a canoe and soaring hawks. Biology is the feeling of elation when entering Gwaii Haanas National Park-- Canada's 'tropical rainforest' -- to study its rugged beauty and rich ecology. Biology is the catalyst for many of my aspirations. Undoubtedly, I want this passion to one day inspire future generations and make a difference in the world as a Queen's alumnus.
Ernest Hemingway once said, "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end." Countless individuals who have demonstrated their dedication to the natural world through efforts in ecological rehabilitation during my 'journey' as an Ontario Ranger, and my role within the Macdonald Environmental Action Council, and Live Green Toronto has inspired me to make a difference. As a deeply involved student, I would like to contribute to Queen's dynamic atmosphere through organizations such as Queen's Arts and Science Undergraduate Society. I would like continue making a strong environmental impact within the community. It is the 'journey' here where I want to encounter inspirations of all sorts, be it from professors, fellow students, or volunteering with the Alma Mater Society.
My adventure will not end after receiving my Bachelors degree, however. I strive to fulfill my childhood aspiration: to understand what life is, and to be able to make the best out of it. I believe that guided with a powerful passion, with Queen's experience as my foundation, I will be able to achieve all my goals and more.
