Genuine Intrigue In Developmental Biology

I am writing to you in support Jacelyn Omusi and her desire to pursue and develop her research ambitions in The Leadership Alliance’s Summer Research Early Identification Program. As the Director of Academic and Research Programs and the McNair Research Scholars Program at the Academic Advancement Program at the University of California, Los Angeles, I work with many students who possess interest in research and desire to attend graduate school to obtain their PhD. Jacelyn, however, has displayed recognizable fiery passion and immense potential in her research interests, thereby motivating me to recommend her for your program.

As a child, I always clung on to the rules without question. Do what is expected of you, without giving any reproach, and never wonder far from adults. However, this obedience morphed into a stagnant state of daily going through motions that were asked of me. As the Superman of this story, my father caught this characteristic and had the heart to do what was necessary in order to reverse it. Now memories, the track to open curiosity was, in the true meaning of the word, awesome. With abundant mini road trips, we explored insect made habitats in the Shenandoah Mountains, beached jellyfish, and these time capsules called Smithsonian Museums. Needless to say, my fascination with the world bloomed. Now, a senior in high school preparing to enter

1. Tell us about a concept, theory, or topic you have explored simply because it sparked your intellectual curiosity. Why do you find it intriguing? How do you want to further explore it?

Why is being curious important while you’re an adult? Well it’s important because you won’t find out anything about the world around you. You won’t find out anything new and we would still be at the same place, the Old Stone Age. The definition of curiosity is this; a strong feeling of wanting to know or learn. Be meddlesome, I’m pretty sure that some people don’t mind you being nosy about things no one has learned about. A quote; “Curiosity-millions saw an apple fall, but Newton asked why.”-Bernard Baruch. That quote is true like people could see color everyday but some people that are curious ask how and why do we see these colors, they want to learn something new. It’s not too bad to be interfering with the world around you but you might not really want to be nosy about people that you don’t know and are around you. A scene Dar was curious in was when Toreg first showed up, Dar was half scared and half curious about him. He was curious about what he was wearing, what clan he was from, and what kind of things they use. It’s important to be curious when you want to show

It consists of undergraduates that focus on research and is funded by the National Institutes of Health.

If one has no desire to look further in life and discover new ideas or uncharted territory, they will eventually lose the voracity for their existence. The author even goes to say that the curious are the only ones with lives worth living and a tale worth telling.

I believe that one should constantly learn and seek new skills and information since it enhances one’s understanding of the world, provide opportunities, and develop skills. Committed to learning, I am willing to spend the necessary time to cultivate my mind in the quest for knowledge and I achieved this through diligence, perseverance, discipline, and by providing the best work possible in the workplace around me. This ambition to push for excellence would be a beneficial trait to have in the future, for I still strive to put quality into everything I do, even when I do not receive any recognition or praise, and this attitude would help me make rapid strides not only in my academic career but my life overall.

Curiosity has always driven me toward new experiences, such as attending school in Chicago to become a first- generation college student. I am thrilled to fulfill my curiosity and apply for a summer research program where I can begin preparing for my future career.

Curiosity is almost a necessity to lifestyle. It can lead the mind to learn new things. However, it can also be dangerous, it can lead your mind to wander past your boundaries and put yourself in danger. The protagonists in the short stories “Poison,” “A Sound of Thunder” and “The Most Dangerous Game” are flawed by one common theme-curiosity of the mind; this helps create the story for the reader.

This is a letter of intent for the TxBDC Advanced Research Scholarship I. I have volunteered with Dr. David Pruitt’s team for six semesters starting from Fall 2015.

These two traits help people in ways such as coming up with solutions to everyday problems. Some might say that curiosity can get people in trouble, but it helps people rather than hurts Those two traits should be encouraged because they both help solve problems and they advocate higher level thinking. To begin, intelligence is a highly encouraged trait because it helps solve problems

Being curious is a very complex idea where Ian Leslie describes how being curious is about asking questions that lead to more questions. Leslie’s passage describes how asking complex questions that do not have simple questions can lead someone down a journey to learn something that they did not intentionally mean to learn. What Leslie means by this is if questions are not asked then the possibility to learn new things is not possible. The beauty of questions is that they can lead to unbeknownst opportunities. Finding answers for a complex question will not always be easy. Defeating obstacles while trying to find answers to a question can be difficult and not giving up grows one’s mental map. Leslie believes that questions are stepping stones for learning something new. Leslie includes studies and research into Curious to explain how being curious is affected by how complex, surprising, and how much background knowledge someone has on something they are learning.

My research internship was an experience that stimulated my intellectual side. I learned a great deal about research design, procedures, and analysis. Along the way, I encountered several road blocks, but I knew that frustration was not a productive emotion. I sought the help of my mentors and told them the truth: that my data wasn’t making sense and I did not know why. We brainstormed ideas and I researched every night until we discovered that the problem must have had something to do with the low expression of the gene in the particular tissue. At Creighton, I will use my research experience to continue advancing the body of knowledge. Specifically, I would like to participate in the Summer Research Fellowship Program.

Passionate to know more, learn more, (he) sailed for France…in order to attend lectures at the Sorbonne” (McCullough, 2008/2012, p. 334). He felt this urge to learn more, so he sought and went after greater knowledge. He worked for it. I would like to repeat the quote by Abigail Adams, “Learning is not attained by chance. It must be sought with ardor and attended with diligence” (McCullough, 2008/2012, p. 334).

I have always been interested in people, more so than the average. That interest contributed to me being a quiet adolescent because I always wanted to listen to what others were talking about, how they said it, and how others reacted. In a homogenous community where certain ideals of race, gender roles, sexual orientation, and religion were upheld, however, there was only so much I could get from my surroundings, especially from those my own age. I wanted more and found it in the pages of National Geographic Traveler and the internet as well once my parents eased the reins of censorship. Those two combined gave me access to a world outside my small, Southern town and helped me realize just how shielded I was from the experiences of those who
