We never underestimate the power of an itsy-bitsy atom, which contrives the mysterious, gigantic universe. The analogously minuscule cell is regarded true biological atom, which institutes many intricate systems of our complex human body and its creation, my inheritance genes provoked my inquisitive mind to dive into the understanding of the complexity of our organs. Up to elementary school, my cumulative treasure of science pertained only theories. My hands-on practical started during 7th grade, I dissected a cow eyeball to learn its anatomical structures. Next dissection was a frog, first time in my life I saw internal organs by naked eyes, and to see the circulatory system I dissected an Earth worm. Unlike our cardiac chambers earth worm circulate blood through vessels, which inspired so deeply that I started thinking to make my career in the …show more content…

The exciting lab experiment was to glow bacteria, in which I used P Glow Plasmid protein and changed its gene which transformed bacteria to glow bacteria. Upmost my pleasure arrived when I dissected Pig's brain in the AP Biology lab. Its anatomical structures fascinated such a way that my pursuit of a medical career becomes my passion. The dissection of a strawberry strand to observe the DNA assured that motivation is leading me towards my destination. In fact, inquisitive mind force my physical body to find out opportunities to acquire the insight of my passion. I signed up and attended the Cardiac Camp at Unicare Heart Institute & Research Center, where I shadowed cardiac invasive procedures: The Coronary, Carotid, Renal, and peripheral Angiographies, Angioplasty, stenting, and implantation of a cardiac pacemaker. It is the motivation which morally supported to organize a free medical camp in India right after completion of my cardiac

I am interested in furthering my education because of my deep fascination in biology and how it affects our future. Ever since the first science class I took in 7th grade I knew that the topic would be incorporated in my post-secondary education in some fashion. Having the ability to understand the inner workings of nature and the relationships between molecules, organisms, and the environment have always interested me. I am a senior who is at the top of my class in AP Biology as of now, and the dream of being involved with the subject is beginning to come true. I have been accepted to a university who is #2 in the nation for my major--zoology--and I also have some experience in this field already from a handful of anatomical dissections, macroinvertebrate

I’m applying because I’m interested in gaining experience with new hands-on research. I’ve always loved my science classes, but they inadvertently restrict one’s creativity and curiosity. The preset labs have exact steps to get a specific result because it’s simply tests students' ability to understand instructions. While AP Biology has given me more freedom (I can construct my own version of labs) SIMR would allow me to take the experiment into my own hands completely. This independence would be challenging, but that’s also why I’m applying.

There were no guidelines to follow, nor a checklist to complete when it came to science. I learned that every organism has a unique feature that distinguishes it from the rest. These prevailing features can be utilized to save lives and change the world for the better. I learned that these organisms and I were very much alike, possessing something peculiar that no one else has to offer. The possibility of genetically modifying organisms to intensify existing features and implement them in other aspects such as agriculture, infrastructure and medication intrigued me.

INTRODUCTION For an educator to be successful at teaching their students, the teacher must be able to asses the individual students knowledge of a subject (Guskey, 2003, p6). The clinical interview is a useful tool for assessing a student’s individual knowledge, along with other aspects of the education process. An instructor who is conducting clinical interviews are will be able to recognize the students thought process and learning behaviors when it comes to solving a problem or explaining a process to complete a report (Ginsburg, 1997, p.147). Furthermore, the interview allows the instructor to recognize gaps in both the student’s knowledge and the instructors teaching methods.
