Dulce's Story

My passion is the Science

What I am most devoted to are the science and engineering fields. Through my experiences in junior high, I was able to obtain new knowledge of the disciplines in engineering and science. There was a graduate from the California State University of Los Angeles who would come to our school and teach the dynamics of mechanical engineering. Through this exposure, I began to get curious about the different types of engineering majors, which is how I found out about aerospace engineering. Aerospace engineering requires a lot of physics, consequently leaving me to figure out the close relations that science and any engineering have. I was introduced to a lot of new fields of science and engineering that prior to this experience I had not even known existed. This then spurred my curiosity about how the human brain is affected by technology and thereby developed my curiosity about the field of neuroscience.

Attending Washington University in St. Louis Philosophy, Neuroscience and Psychology Institute will help me pursue my passion because it will finally allow me to have hands on experiences. I will finally be able to focus and go into the depths of neuroscience. This will help me explore specific things within neuroscience that will help build me up to what my future in college will ultimately be like within my major. I will appertain to a diverse group that shares the same interest as I. I moved from Mexico to the United States when I was five years old. Since that time I have always lived with my parents in Los Angeles and this will be the first time that I will be on my own learning by experiencing living away from home with people from other backgrounds.
