Why I Want To Pursue My College Degree
I signed up for AP Biology because it was highly recommended for MSI Stem students to take sophomore year. Another reason is I need my biology credit for high school, college credit from the AP exam is just a bonus.

Honestly, I have no real idea what my college degree might be. I like a lot of things; writing, helping out with animals, and law. So maybe I'll become a veterinarian, or a writer, or maybe do something in the field of law. Because of my classes, I could be any of those, but I think law is the class I have the most interest in. So perhaps I'll do something to become a lawyer, or a police officer. My college degree just depends on how I make up my mind, and what I want to do.

My electives I chose for the 2017-2018 school year was Law 1, Spanish 3 P/AP, AP Seminar, and BIM. I want to get my required classes out of the way, so that is why I took BIM. I decided to take Spanish 3 P/AP because in Spanish 1 and Spanish 2, they never really teach you how to speak Spanish, just to understand it. I wanted to take Law 1 because when I took the Principles of Law class it really interested me. Also, I took AP Seminar because MSI students in my grade were suggested to take it. Last year(2016-2017) I was part of the JV soccer team in my first year of athletics, but I don't think I will take athletics again. This year, I want to join a few clubs, something I couldn't do last year. I want to join Art club, BETA

I don't really have any experience with it, and never really decided to ask my twin brother about what they were doing Freshman year because I was taking chemistry. One part that really makes me nervous is memorizing words, and definitions. I know that isn't hard, but the amount of words just on the summer homework has got my brain raising some flags. I think whether I will think biology will be fun or not will depend on the first few weeks of school as I get adjusted to the class

    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…

    I was in the same predicament in science after taking Biology 1 as a freshman in place of the usual biology prep course. By the end of my freshman year I had a 4.0 GPA and two academic awards, the Legacy award and the Honors award. Academic accomplishments aside, music and other arts have also played a huge role in my adolescent life. There was not a single year in high school I spent without either singing or dancing. As a freshman I participated in both chorus and lmarching band, which were both full of enthralling competitions and group trips. I marched with the same band my junior year and sang again with the chorus as a senior, but for me sophomore holds a slightly different story. After being promoted to the tenth grade I took a summer vacation with my father that turned into a yearlong stay in Nashville, Tennessee. During my stay I attended Stratford High School, which was under renovation and working towards becoming a magnet academy. Academically the school’s English department was on the rise, and it took me far in my writing abilities as well as my love for the subject. As for my…

    I have been interested in science and math since I was reading books with science experiments in second grade. Applying math and science skills to solve everyday problems has intrigued me from an early age. I am always curious about how things work. Since taking AP Physics this year, I have been able to appreciate how math and science work together. I have taken other rigorous courses, but often it felt like learning math was isolated from other coursework. Math challenges me to problem solve and think at a higher level. I also love science, but until I took AP Physics my science classes were too easy. The labs in freshmen and sophomore science were enjoyable, but I never got a sense of how they connected to other concepts in Biology and Chemistry.…

    Throughout high school, I had always envisioned myself in attending Texas A&M. There are still some extra steps I need to take but I know what my goals are and I’m going to do whatever it takes to achieve them. I know it’s not going to be simple but not impossible. My parents came to this country to work hard and better their lives for my brothers and me. My dad works too hard seven days a week and I look at how tired he is all the time. I want to be able to go to school, pursue my dreams, obtain my dream job and help other people. I want my parents to see that them working so hard and coming to America and leaving their entire family was worth it. I want to witness the happiness in my dads face when I walk across that stage at Texas A&M.…

    Before tenth grade, school had come easily to me. I could excel in my classes without having to work hard or often even study outside of class. This changes when I began taking AP Biology with a group of seniors. Having no biology base prior to this class, I was stretched. I had to learn how to study and discover how I learned best. Through much struggle I was able to grow as a student and as a human being. I learned what working hard in school meant and began to see that having good grades and high personal merit was of great personal value to me. That is not to say that this class was without its struggles. There were many moments were I learned something new, sometimes the hard way, but growth was always present. The skills that I cultivated through this course…

    My sophomore year, this year, I enrolled in the AP physics class. Honestly, I only enrolled in this class rather than the chemistry class for two reasons. Firstly, my school does not offer an honors chemistry class and I thought it would not be challenging enough. Secondly, I have a huge interest in math and math related problems. Physics is like a huge application problem class.…

    My junior year of high school, according to several of my trust worthy teachers, should be rigorous and competitive if I ever wanted a chance to get into college. Naturally, being a gullible fool, I signed up for two AP classes, an honor class, and a sport. As a sport I chose wrestling, it was very time consuming but I knew I could manage. I felt pretty confident about AP biology and Algebra 2 honors since they were subjects I was fairly skilled in. but as for my other AP course, AP language and Composition, I was a bit uneasy.…

    No matter what profession you are pursuing, it is important to thrive and succeed in whatever courses you are taking. For those of us who are premedical students, we must abide by a strict curriculum. These classes can be a variety of things, but most of them relate to science and math in some way, shape, or form. However, everyone has to take general education courses. Since I am a biology major, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to compare two prospective courses I could be taking next semester.…

    I have intellectually challenged myself by taking Honours and Ap Classes such as Ap Chemistry 12, English Honours 10, and Math honors 9. I have noticed something about taking these classes. They challenge me to an extent I have never been challenged. The labs and the teaching style are tremendously effective. Experiments and labs create opportunities for extensive practical thinking as students need to reflect and process information in an orderly manner. In my AP chemistry class, I have grown in my ability to think things through logically and carefully. The process of labs makes you think on a different level. It requires hard work. I have developed confidence, and hard working skills. Chemistry requires thinking outside the box and being…
