Recommended: Goals for pursueing higher education

My academic goals after I graduated from UC Irvine is to achieve a higher education beyond a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Sciences. I have set going to dental school as a primary goal after graduating. My goal is to eventually obtain a D.D.S (Doctor of Dentist Surgery) degree. Working towards a specialty is an interest that I am very curious in pursuing; however, as of now becoming a general dentist is my main goal.
What factor(s) made you interested in studying in the Biological/Biomedical School: A combination of several factors sparked my interest in the health care field. As a young child, I was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a rare blood disorder in which the bone marrow fails to produce blood cells and platelets. After witnessing my doctor treating me and other patients, I just know that a career in the healthcare field would be a job I would enjoy.

In high school, the uttermost important goal for me is to attend college and pursuing my dream of studying forensics, and eventually taking that success and finding a way to give back to the community and people that raised me.

A cube seen from only one side is a square. I have spent twelve years of my life in the same institution and had a small but well-loved group of friends. In contrast, a close friend of mine attended three different schools in the same time, and I saw how that affected him, he was more social, friendly and empathetic. Looking back I now realize that I need to learn how to be more outgoing to better my communication skills as life presents us new challenges and working well with others is an integral part to solving them. I came to the United States to both see the world from another perspective and reflect upon the different ideologies and thought processes that have developed in the presence of such a great number of differing cultures.

I found true happiness by accepting the raw honesty and truth that had become my life, and because of this I found that I loved to learn, I loved to help others in similar/more difficult situations than mine, and that I could do whatever I put my mind to. Everything in my adolecense had been "what ifs" but I knew that I could control my life at school and how I spent my free time. I tried my hardest to take as many Advanced Placement classes at my school because I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I was being given a free education- something that many children in thiis world are not offered. Although, at times I struggled, I absolutely loved my decision because it changed me. AP classes were a different type of dedication not only from students towrds the work, but also from the teachers to the students.

I am interested in a career in conservation biology and ecology of aquatic biomes, so I am applying for a Master of Science in Biology. Growing up in Puerto Rico, I was fortunate to have a childhood within a tropical oasis, where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Where the trade winds developing in the Saharan dessert go passed the Atlantic Ocean and through the mountain range crossing the island horizontally, rain shadowing the southwestern portion of the islands dry forest. This climatic interplay influenced my youth with a vision of the world that I would soon learn was a unique and vital ecosystem, and one that was being threatened and destroyed at a pace that surpassed the knowledge being gained from it. As I left the island and moved from the Rocky Mountains into the

As a little girl, I was naïve to most of my parents’ troubles, but with time, I became more observant. While I lived comfortably in the United States, from Monday through Friday, my parents struggled with a corrupt government and lack of resources in Mexico. Overhearing their conversations and realizing the sacrifices my parents were making to keep my siblings and me from leaving the United States made me yearn to want to obtain a college education that would help me give my parents the life they deserved. However, to reach my goal I knew I couldn’t have a fixed mindset. I had to make myself believe that I was the only one in control of my future, not my parents’ income.

To this day I still don’t understand why my family is not concerned with my academics. However I have learned to just accept it. In a way I am glad I received, or should I say the lack of receiving, any aid from them.
