Hi there, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in reviewing my writings. I want to apply to undergraduate summer internship in Japan for 2 months.The prompt states that the writings should be 3,000 characters (including spaces).
How I experience family beach vacations completely changed after I knew a 9.5-meter sperm whale was found poorly dead on a Sulawesi beach due to 6 kg of plastic waste in its body (DW Journal 2018). I grew up with a strong connection to the ocean in Bali, but that devastating news left a long-lasting intellectual impact on me. Indonesia faces major challenges not only in plastic waste, but also in the seaweed mass in the industry production, which can be high-potential and eco-friendly materials.
I am writing to express my sincere interest in contributing to Professor XX laboratory in the Graduate School of XX. My proposal of marine-derived bioplastic materials explains how I am deeply concerned about plastic waste and its devastating impact on marine biodiversity. Therefore, I aim to deepen my understanding through Professor XX laboratory, which provides excellent resources towards sustainable solutions for practically feasible in society's daily use.
I was honored to receive 3rd Place in the City High School Chemistry Competition, 2nd in the School Chemistry Competition, and Honorable Mention in the National Chemistry Competition Selection. My achievements have always been driven by my curiosity about how the environment changes, such as ocean acidification and marine pollution caused by microplastic compounds. In particular, I felt the urgency of the plastic waste problem deeply when I volunteered as a tutor on a remote island, where the community has an unhealthy circular economy. These learning experiences fueled my enthusiasm to harness marine-based technology that is applicable even in remote communities.
Unlike other laboratories, Professor XX lab uniquely aligns with my mission to integrate technology with community-centered solutions. The main field I intend to explore is self-healing materials from polysaccharides of both macroalgae and microalgae in Professor XX laboratory. I plan to experience utilizing the lab facilities for understanding self-healing materials and particularly for food bio-packaging applications, especially because both Japan and Indonesia are rich in culinary tourism. I dedicate 8 weeks studying self-healing bio-composites from a structure-function perspective, particularly for daily applications such as bioplastics in Professor XX laboratory. After completing my undergraduate, I am committed to continuing my Master's studies to genuinely make an impact on the coastal communities' well-being.
As I stand in an early stage of my scientific journey, this opportunity is going to broaden my path as a future scientist. I look forward to gaining deeper insight for a future where communities can live in harmony with nature through the XX Scholarship program
