Majoring In Forensic Chemistry
Initially, majoring in Forensic Chemistry was not my first choice. I have always been more interested in science but I never thought of actually majoring in the science field. Since I was a child I always looked forward to going to science class. In elementary school my many teachers helped me gain a love for science. But, it was in the sixth grade is when I decide that maybe I could see a science field in my future. My sixth grade teacher set up a dissection lab one day and we were able to pick through owl pellets, also known as owl throw-up. These little throw-up balls contained many of the bones that the owl previously ate. I found it so fascinating that we were able to reconstruct the containments of the pellet in order to figure out what

It would require a Bachelor’s degree in Natural Science at the very minimum to become a forensic science technician. There are many different types of natural sciences, such as chemistry, which would involve the study of paint, chemicals, and similar substances and compounds along with their relationship to each other. Another study would be biology, as it pertains to trace and DNA evidence, including blood, hair, fibers, and many natural substances. A final science study would be that of drugs and toxicology as it involves testing for the presence or absence of drugs, alcohol and poisons in blood and tissue samples (What Is A Forensic Lab Technician?)

    I was introduced to the field I am interested in from my 9th grade biology class. Prior to the course, I had never taken biology or any science, for that matter, that had captured my attention such as this year-long experience. I was intrigued by the subject and fascinated with all the advances in society that have been made by scientists throughout the years. The possibility of being able to do this in the future kept me engaged and I further pursued this interest by currently taking AP Biology. In addition, I was inspired by the change that scientists can make through research and…

    To me my backyard was a forest to discover and with a magnifying glass and my Rockhound Guide I would set off each day to discover something new. When I was in eight grade I made the wrong choice of picking a baking class, after the fist semester I transferred into an all boys robotics class. Where I quickly climbed to the top and created things like a dog who did seven different tricks to a classic battle bot that conquered everyones else’s robot. I fell in love with biology my freshman year and quickly gained a knack for organic chemistry. Then my sophomore year I took chemistry which I hope to take again my senior year as an AP course. Now that Im a junior and taking AP biology, I've found a liking in forensic biology and Im actually turn our lab into a real life mock crime scene where I will show fellow classmates how to run DNA in electrophoresis and test blood samples. Now if I were to get this internship it would make huge difference in my science career. First it would give me the hands on experience I want in a lab. It would also further my love for science, because I would hope to do research on DNA, specifically…

    As a little girl I always thought I’d be a lawyer or a nurse. After attending high school and watching a little TV those two professions were the last thing on my mind. By now I know you are thinking, what career has she chosen? Good question, I am going to be a crime scene investigator. I love following along while watching shows like CSI or The first 48. I can sometime figure out who did it before the investigators. “Crime scene investigation is often a challenging and difficult line of work for even the most experienced law enforcement agent. There are some crimes that are more difficult to handle spiritually and emotionally than others. Crimes against children and the elderly are often most difficult to excuse and most difficult for crime scene investigators to process psychologically” (Swanson, Chamelin & Territo, 1999: p 313).…

    As a child of two boys and one girl, I was the one who liked to watch TV shows such as Snapped, NCIS, and Criminal Minds. I think these shows caught my attention because; it was like solving a riddle. I could sit and watch these shows for hours without getting up, just to see what would be the end result in each case. It’s funny because, sometimes my mom would have to come in my room and turn the TV off just to get my attention and tell me it was time for dinner. The actress Abby, from the show NCIS, was like a mentor to me and made me want to be like her. She is the reason why I wanted to become a Forensic Scientist because she made it like so cool.…
