Biotechnology, why do you want to attend? Governor's School of ET in Tennessee [4]
I am applying to the Gov school for ET in Tennessee and really need some advice for the essays for the application I have written.
Prompt: (1) Select one of the following major fields: biotechnology, nanotechnology or information technology. In an essay of 300 words or less, describe how your chosen field of emerging technology will impact life on earth over the next twenty years. (2) In a paragraph of 200 words or less, describe why you want to attend the School for Emerging Technologies and what you hope to gain by attending.
Biotechnology(1)In ways we always try to manage the world, change it to accustom our desires. We do it when we culture bacteria. Now we have moved to new heights that would have been considered impossible, we have cloned animals and developed a method of organ and tissue regeneration. There will always be advancements in the field of technology, especially in biotechnology. Biotechnology is the basis of many different kinds of research in the fields of environment, food science, robotics, agriculture and medicine. In twenty years many new progressions can take place, such as new modernizations in the area red biotechnology. Red biotechnology deals with the making of substances used in medicine and pharmaceuticals, similar to vaccines, proteins, antibiotics and vitamins. Perhaps in twenty years we could find a cure for notorious diseases, for instance HIV. Using a modified virus based protein encoding similar to a 2d PAGE called a "3d PAGE" to find the complex protein patterns of the retrovirus. Then by injecting tiny microprocessors inside the body, having the different cures to the changing protein codes, and combat the virus like any regular white blood cell would. With this new innovation, the "3d PAGE" would revolutionize medicine by generating immeasurable amounts of new medicine. There is so much possible in the world of biotechnology that it would be impossible to just name some of hundreds of ideas for innovations .

why you want to attend?(2)Since the time I was a toddler I have had an interesting fascination for the world of technology. Technology ,to me, has always had wondrous effects on the mind by challenging it to figure the reasons behind it. I would love to use my interest in math and science in a future career to work on improving the world through engineering by creating all types of new technologies in the all the different fields of bio, nano, and information technology. I would like to go to the School for Emerging Technologies because this would introduce me to the college studies of engineering and technology sciences. I would like to experience the course as well as the rigors of being in such a program. This curriculum would expose me to how classes would be once I get to college, and it would also show me how I should prepare for my interest in the fields of engineering and technology .Overall, this institution would provide to me a first-rate experience that I would love to be a part of and would be an exceptional influence on my life by showing the virtues of a college education.
