Marine Microbiology Personal Statement

We all reach a point in our lives where we find ourselves at a crossroads, facing the choice of which path to travel towards our future. In contemplating my path, I resolved to ardently pursue marine science. With that in mind, the graduate program for Marine Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the best fit for me because of its excellence and reputation in the field.
I remember the first time I cultivated bacteria on the solid culture mediums. It was incredible to witness patterns of bacteria colonies appear several days later, which altered my impression of bacteria. Those tiny living creatures are remarkably intricate. Witnessing the breathtaking phenomena created by marine microbes strengthened my determination to further pursue my study of marine microbiology.
In my first year as an undergraduate student I participated in lab work on marine microbiology. I led one project on separation and identification of pigment-containing bacteria in the Xiamen Coastal Areas,
As for my long-term goal, I plan to earn a PhD in marine science and continue my research in marine education as a university faculty member. To this day, people still have limited knowledge of marine science. I hope to devote myself to encouraging more people to work in marine science and to make a positive impact on marine development and conservation for generations to come. However, my current knowledge must be improved in order for me to reach this goal. Hence, I am excited to embark on my further education, which can afford me the priceless opportunity to work closely with experts. I believe that your program will help me achieve my goals by providing the advanced tools and knowledge needed to focus on marine science, and a strong interdisciplinary collaboration with other essential
