Albert Einstein. Marie Curie. Charles Darwin. The names of these gifted individuals, bound within the pages of history, are the most distinguished minds in the scientific community. With a passion and intellectual curiosities, they shaped the world with ground-breaking discoveries that have taught future generations of the world. But, who inspired the brightest minds in past generations to pursue their scientific interests? Behind every great scientist, there is a single person, a single influence, a single light, that fostered that have inspired their pupils to pursue the noble sciences. The man, the sole source of inspiration in the sciences, is my current science teacher, Mr. Ayre. Since the beginning of my freshman year, he offered …show more content…

Ayre is the sole influence solidified my decision to become a field researcher. He is a teacher whose interest in his subject in relentless and infectious, causing his students to inherit such enthusiasm.

He encouraged me to make observations about the topic and happily praised my findings; continually, enforcing the idea of research as a way to discover the answers.

But, perhaps the most significant impact he has made on my life, is his example of voicing one’s interests and pursuing their passion, regardless of what others may think. In the fall of my freshman year, a group of my classmates oppressed my understanding of the subject of cells, not allowing me to speak once about my knowledge about microbiology. However, when Mr. Ayre noticed such a happening occurring in his classroom, he quickly stepped in and expressed his knowledge about the topic. While the other students were annoyed from his lecturing, Mr. Ayre continued to speak. Afterward, he addressed my shyness directly and told me to speak up on the subject that I respected. Even if the exchange is considered “trivial”, the intransigent refusal to continue to openly articulate the knowledge he gained from personal research, has made a tremendous impact on my life, and is an important guiding
