Undergraduate / research techniques to experiment design - activities extracurricular & personal [7]

Hello!

It's my first post on the essayforum. I am a transfer applicant. Please help me.

please elaborate on one of your activities extracurricular personal activities. (150 words or fewer).

I've been assisting a Ph.D. student in a laboratory from beginning of my freshmen year. I try to learn various research techniques to experiment designing. As a result, I spend half of my day in the laboratory. My research goal is to identify the function of specific DNA sequence of mouse. Most days, my supervisor is gone, so I ask different people in lab about protocols. Each person has a different protocol. I choose one. If it does not work, I try different one. Ultimately, I create my own protocol that works for this one. My supervisors tell me to slow down because I haven't taken the necessary courses. To me, it's an opportunity. My mind has not been bombarded with "correct" knowledge. My creativity and imagination has not been damaged yet, which is why some procedures that I do seem bizarre to other people.

Please help me the flow, grammatical errors, and conciseness. Comments on contents are welcome too.

Thank you!
