Any critique or help revising would be great
Why are you drawn to the academic fields you indicated in the Anticipated Degree and Academic Interest questions above?
It comes down to three things. Since I was a young boy I had always wanted to be able to discover something. It couldn't be just anything though; it had to be something grand, something that would change lives for the better. In doing so I could indulge in the self-satisfaction of knowing that I had made an impact on the world - I would be remembered. My grandfather's passing revealed where such a discovery would be easiest to make; his death at the hands of cancer motivated me to pursue the field of biology. To be specific I want to study genetics because it is still developing and discoveries, therefore, are imminent. I took AP Biology in order to get a glimpse of what studies in this field would consist of and whether I could commit myself to them. That choice would seal the deal and it is all thanks to my teacher, Mr. Keener. He impressed on me the same passion and vigor that he had for the subject and it was his instruction that confirmed I would make my mark in biology.
