Why Do I Want to Be a Scientist

Why Do I Want To Become A Scientist?

Albert Einstein- a known person in the field of Physics who formulated the Theory of Relativity and explained the Quantization of Light.

Dmitri Mendeleev- a known person in the field of Chemistry who constructed the first Periodic table of elements.

Agapito Flores- a Filipino who invented the Fluorescent Lamp.

The names mentioned are people with different life backgrounds yet they have one thing in common, they are all passionate for Science and discovery. They were just normal people but because of their contributions, they became famous. Their legacy did not only bring them honor and fame but it also helped a lot of people.

They were the people who inspired me to be a scientist. The thought of doing something that I love for the common good gives me an overwhelming joy. I want to be a scientist not just for the title but for my dream of helping people with what knowledge I have. I want to live with a purpose- be mentally active and socially concerned.

I want to become a scientist just like the names mentioned above because like them, I am curious. I am not content of just learning what the school offers me; I want to venture out of the school walls and discover information which is yet to be found. I am someone who stays hungry for knowledge. I do not consider myself as a know-it-all person but rather I consider myself as an empty vial; there is still a lot of information that I need to know and contain. I want to become a scientist because a scientist never gives up on knowledge; a scientist will pursue working until he comes up with well-supported information.

I want to become a scientist because a scientist does not only experience daily living but rather analyzes things that happen. For example, a normal person would just have a simple reaction to a hot sunny day; he or she would just say that it is hot. A scientist, on the other hand, would not just say that it is hot but will also analyze why it is hot....
