I have picked the topic of an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of growth and a new understanding of myself or others.

When I had a realization that sparked a period of growth was when I visited Tampa in the summer of 2016. We went to Clearwater, FL Aquarium. I realize that I wanted to be a Marine Biologist. When we went there I saw the dolphins and turtles and other animals. I saw the trainers feeding, training them and taking care of them.

I love animals, but I never thought about being a Marine Biologist until then. I love the warm weather and the ocean. Then that fall of my Junior year I went to a college fair and I always thought about going to University of Tampa until then I went over to the University of Miami table. I asked if your college University of Miami had Marine Biology and they said yes and said University of Miami is known for Marine Biology. …show more content…
I saw how many Marine programs your college had. I look at your college campus I saw how nice your college is and how I knew it was a school I really want to go

    Marine Biology Personal Statement

    Marine biology has always been a passion of mine ever since I first heard about it when I was four years old. My family has a deep-running connection to the ocean so when they realized how interested I was in science, they suggested marine biology. I loved the concept of studying unknown creatures that sit miles below the surface of our planet that no human has ever seen. I’ve read many textbooks and field guides over the years, which started as an amusing pastime. However, the more I read, the more I became completely and utterly engrossed in the subject which eventually shaped me into what I am today.…

    Developmental Milestones

    Two developmental milestones that I have faced during my twenty-two years of life, thus far, are beginning college and ending college. Starting college in particular was a developmental milestone because it was different than anything I have ever experienced and for my family to experience as well. I am the first generation in my family to attend college. Both of my parents went straight into the work force after they graduated high school, and were not encouraged by their parents to attend college. I have two older siblings who decided not to attend college, because they wanted to go straight into the work force, and long term did not want to have to worry about paying back student loans.…
