  • Explain how this area of science help you?

Science is an important subject to Science is vast with multifarious branches; some of them being physics, chemistry, and biology. Ever since childhood, biology fascinated me the most. There were innumerous facts of life that I learned from studying about plants, insects, and human body. It was my favourite subject in school, and I continued to pursue a graduate degree in the same field. 

Initially, I was not interested in learning biology and treated it as merely a subject that I needed to score a passing marks in. However, my perception was changed by the engaging method of teaching that my middle school teacher, Mr. Joseph opted for. He demonstrated many experiments and gave live examples including the minute details of elements like buds and roots of flowers, replicas of human organs and insects. I was quickly turned into a biology enthusiast as the experiments and live classes were appealing to me.

Biology is a study of life and nature. To observe and learn what constitutes various species of plants and animals in the environment surrounding us including how they work and behave is compelling. I have taken a keen interest in furthering my studies in biology to research more in ways to preserve endangered plant species that encompass a major part of ecology. I believe what I do makes a difference and result in a small yet momentous change to the world.
