Angel's Story

My passion is science.

While taking Biology this semester, I became intrigued and excited to learn how cells and other structures of life play a role in the lives of organisms. I’m interested to know how the cells of other organisms, besides humans and plants, work. Science has always interested me, but I noticed my passion for biology when we learned how the human body cells work. I became interested in how the reproductive system determines how the offspring will look like and contain based on its chromosomes.

In my Biology class, we worked on creating a double helix with mRNA and DNA using marshmallows, toothpicks, and licorice. The project helped me completely learn how mRNA and DNA work together and it was more effective in teaching me than the basic lecture. Getting physically involved made it easier to understand the lesson. I am determined to continue discovering my passion for biology through SEACAMP I.
