As a child, I always found an attraction towards interacting with animals and grabbed every opportunity to visit a zoo. Growing up, my fascination and interactions with the animal kingdom became more intimate and enabled me to develop a strong inclination towards the metabolical, physiological and psychological working of a living organism, from the size of a microscopic bacterium to the giants of the world such as whales and elephants. This inclination developed my research on various ways I could play a part in the welfare of animals. My aspiration towards studying veterinary medicine developed with visits to Veterinary clinics to save a stray cat or accompany my neighbour's dog.

While the U.S. government initiatives to expand student interest and participation in STEM may increase student achievement on paper, what the U.S. government forgets is that students need a fully-rounded education.

What interests you about your selected program of study? Computer science has always been the aspect of study that has grabbed my attention from a young age. CS always created a sense of awe in me because of the fact that individual people, with a firm understanding of CS, could completely manipulate technology into whatever creation they wanted. In the same way an artist can paint on a canvas, computer scientist can create through code and each program carries a sense of the programmer with it. The more you learn about CS the more uses it gains, making it a tool that builds upon itself.
