Hopes And Dreams :: essays research papers

Hopes and Dreams     Science has been the backbone of my life ever since my high prepare daysin Malaysia. Although I studied many science subjects like Physics and Biology,I was especially fond of chemistry. My fondness of chemistry was attributed tomy chemistry instructor Mr. Ang, in the eleventh grade who motivated me to exploreevery topic in great depth. He always gave me great advice, and I was greatlyinfluenced by his spirit and values.     Before I applied to universities in Malaysia, I attended variousseminars which gave advice to students who were applying to universities andcolleges. It is here that I got the most important advice of all, "Chose amajor in a field that interests you." It did not take long before I wasaccepted to the xxxx University, and I chose Chemical Engineering as my field ofstudy. Unfortunately, I had to recall the offer since my family had decided tomove to the United States of America.   & nbsp Moving to the States has not been easy. I have not only encounteredcultural differences, but a lot of difference in the educational system as well.But my goal to major in Chemistry still remains unchanged, and my options havewidened. Last year, I versed about the oculus for Science Excellence in one ofmy Chemistry classes, but I wasnt aware of the many advantages and rewards ofbeing part of much(prenominal) a remarkable program.     As a newcomer, I have made numerous mistakes in choosing my courses andI need a lot of good advice and guidance. The Center for Science Excellence isexactly the type of program that can fulfill these needs, and sponsor to put me onthe right track instead me personally teaching from costly mistakes. CSE iscenter which guides many other science students. It would be very helpful tomake friends with other science students with whom I can exchange knowledge,ideas, and friendship. The internships that CSE provides to its stu dents wouldhelp me gain experience and exposure to various areas in science which interestme, and hopefully guide me to the job of my dream.
