My Science Story

I was a true Science nerd in HS. Science was probably my favorite academic subject beginning in the 6th grade. During my middle school years I had very engaging teachers that had student lead classrooms. When I began HS I knew I wanted to take all AP science courses not because I had a science career in mind but because I enjoyed science and was able to feel successful. I not only took my required AP courses but also science electives like Zoology and Environmental Science. I believe I graduated with 7 science credits! One of my favorite experiences was Physics. I remember specifically one of my favorite projects. I create a roller coaster out of pasta and hot glue. The coaster included loops and a pulley system to get the marble to the top of the first hill. I remember uses many formulas to complete the lab write up. I can't remember every specific detail but I do remember exploring independently and learning.
My love for chemistry lead me to choose my first degree in college. I want to pursue nursing and then continue on to become a doctor. I enjoyed my college chemistry classes but it was when I took anatomy that I decided nursing was not for me! I hated anatomy class and anatomy labs and I am not sure why! I never had the chance to take anatomy in HS because of the other courses I took but if I did I'm sure I would have figured out sooner I was not cut out to be someone in the medical field.
