Daniel's Story

My passion is engineering.

I found my passion for bioengineering because of my interest in geometry and algebra, learning about biology and chemistry, and then building new items that require skills in both areas. These subjects are my favorites. Math was a challenge when I first arrived at Collegiate Charter High School: I struggled in Algebra, but learned to study and work hard. Now that I am in Geometry, it is very fun and I feel that the subject is easy to understand. Science has been one of my passions, and I was always fascinated by how cells work and their function in the human body. In learning about bonding between atoms and how these functions work together, I discovered how intricate bioengineering is, and how it combines engineering, mathematics, and science into one program.

I believe that attending LMU Pre-College Summer Program will help me pursue my passion for Bioengineering. I will have the chance to take rigorous classes on a campus with other students who are up for the challenge. I learn best when I am pushed, so attending this program will challenge my education and I will learn more than I would in any other place. In addition, the university is known for their “hands-on” approach which would show me what bioengineering will be like when I go to college. I will be hands on with mechanics, mathematics, and science combined. Attending the program will be a unique opportunity for me, and I know that I will not take it for granted.
