Biology Personal Statement
It was August five two thousand fifteen, it was a hot sunny day in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. On this day, my life went upside down. I was moving to my aunt's house in Manhattan, leaving my family and friends behind. It was a hard time for me, but I had a clear goal in mind to obtain a medical degree in the city of the world, New York.
I'm currently enrolled at BMCC pursuing an associate degree in science. I have enjoyed this major because it’s not monotonous. There is always something new to learn. The area of study that interest me the most is Biology; the study of living organisms. I'm passionate about it because I desire to know how living organisms function for I could eventually use that knowledge to improve the quality of life of people. Meanwhile that I’m still enrolled in BMCC, with the guidance of professor Adolfina Koroch, I have created a busy schedule for next semester. I will be an assistant professor for biology assisting in the labs and giving tutoring to the students. Also, I’ll be doing research with the purpose of improving my knowledge in Biology and my skills in the scientific method.
After I finish my degree in BMCC, I will continue my education to a four-year college where I plan to study premedicine and eventually continue my education in medical school. With this tittle, I hope to have a positive

You could hear things like chew a piece of papaya leaf and swallow it and this will cure you from an intestinal parasite. I would ask myself: “Does this really work? Why won’t they just go to the pharmacy and buy a pill? Is that going to make things worse?” Therefore, in my long-term plan, I would love to research on alternative medicine use in the Caribbean. I want to respond to these question that I had since I had growing up. Finding the answer might improve the longevity of people in an affordable

    The nucleic acid of a virus is protected by a protein coat called the capsid. The structure of the capsid is ultimately determined by the viral nucleic acid and accounts for most of the mass of a virus, especially of small ones. Each capsid is composed of protein subunits called capsomeres. In some viruses, the proteins composing the capsomeres are of a single type; in other viruses, several types of protein may be present. In some viruses, the capsid is covered by an envelope, which…

    The following is excerpted from The Tabernacle, the Priesthood, the Offerings by I.M. (Isaac Massey) Haldeman, 1925. Haldeman was the pastor of First Baptist Church of New York City for nearly 50 years, from 1884-1933. Though Haldeman did not have advanced formal theological training, he made up for this with a high native intellect, excellent gifts, a passion for Jesus Christ, a love for God’s Word, diligent study habits, and a broad appetite for learning under the Headship of Christ. In recognition of this he was awarded an honorary D.D. from William Jewel College in 1909. He was a theological warrior who did not draw back from the public reproof of modernists and other false teachers, speaking against fellow Baptists such as Harry Emerson Fosdick and against Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Jehovah Witness cult. He was a crusader against worldliness in the churches. Bible teacher James M. Gray called him “the greatest prophet of the Lord now standing in any pulpit in this country.” Said to be “the most influential preacher of prophetic themes in his generation,” he interpreted Bible prophecy literally and emphasized the imminent return of Christ.

    The dry wallum is a harsh environment that is battered by the sun and wind every day and with a base of porous sand; water availability is very scarce and must be conserved.

Since the wallum is so dry and hot; bush fires play a major cycle in the dry wallum which the trees have adapted to cope with. The roots of the plant and tree species have to cope with the leeching of nutrients because of the high porosity sand in the dry wallum.…

    My dream for the next four years is to achieve a Physician Assistant degree at St. John’s University. As I transition to college from high school, I understand how there is no one in the world besides myself to help me reach my goal and it will require hard work as well as motivation to reach that point.
