I am interested in obtaining my Master of Science in Biology from the University of Nebraska, Kearney, with a concentration in Cell Biology and Physiology or Genetics and Molecular Biology . As one of the best and one of the few universities to offer an online master's program in biology, I expect that you will receive many more applications for entry than positions to offer. The question remains: “Why give me this opportunity?” » If I could be a professional student, I would be. I always wonder why, how, what if. I am passionate about learning and hungry for more. I go to the local science museum in almost every place I vacation, and regularly enjoy new exhibits at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I spend almost every summer in some sort of classroom. For example, I spent three weeks at the Astronomy Institute in Berkeley, California, last summer. There is always more to learn. The success of my studies is also a constant expectation of myself. I have never had a course incomplete, failed, repeated or dropped. Biology also fascinates me. I knew I wanted to work in biology since seventh grade, and my career path showed my loyalty to it. After graduating in the top five percent of my high school class, I went to Texas A&M University for a year in business. The following year, I transferred to UT Arlington to finish my degree. I graduated with a BS in Microbiology with a minor in Chemistry in December 1990 with a GPA of 3.5. The next month, I began research work at Southern Methodist University studying tumor growth in plants. I continued my path in molecular biology and began doing research in the neurobiology department at UT Southwestern Medical Center. There, I searched for the upstream regulatory gene of MASH 1 g...... middle of paper ......b one day. Having a Master of Science in Biology will set me apart from others vying for the same positions.
