Aspiring neuroscientist looking to do lab work to find out more about the relationship between ourselves, our behavior, and our brains.- - -In my middle school program, we had a massive assignment every year in English class - a twenty-minute informative presentation about any topic that we wished to teach to our peers.After picking up a book about color at my school's book fair, I decided that my presentation in sixth grade would be about how the brain works to allow color vision.My presentation in seventh grade was about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a famous personality assessment involving sixteen distinct personality "types."In eighth grade, I taped posters of the brain to my bathroom mirror, some brain areas meticulously hand-labeled where the labels were sparse, so I could study them while brushing my teeth. (They are still there today.)That was just the beginning. And my curiosity hasn’t stopped - it’s grown.I want to know what makes people tick… without putting them into boxes, like the MBTI. I choose to celebrate everyone’s individuality and unique qualities, and I find myself questioning what exactly is going on “up there” in each individual, in each three-pound mass of gray and white matter.I can’t wait to burst into research with my determination, drive, and sense of wonder, and to contribute to the ever-evolving conversation of the biological and neurological bases of behavior.
