Undergraduate / Purdue personal statement - interest in science [15]

here is an updated version of my essay with everyone's suggestions

thanks for the suggestions/criticism

(by the way it has to be under 500 words)

My interest in science started when I was a child. I would always read books about science and do "experiments" such as mixing vinegar and baking soda the. My interest in science continued throughout my life and now I plan on majoring in chemistry. A college degree will aid in my search for knowledge and allow me to learn new information.

My first few years of high school I wasn't interested in any particular subject over another. When I took chemistry I became increasingly interested in it. My interest in chemistry continued to grow throughout chemistry I and chemistry II. I am interested in chemistry because I enjoy learning how things work at the molecular level. I later realized that chemistry is everywhere and is related to many other sciences. Having a degree in chemistry would help me get a job that I enjoy.

A college degree will open many new doors for me, allowing me to have many choices in life. It will also help me participate in medicinal research to save lives, and get into graduate school to attain a Ph.D.
