Major Concentration
The area of biology that I have chosen to study in is Marine Biology. There are many, many reasons as to why I chose this field as the one for me, but I suppose I should just narrow it down to the most important. First of all, I love animals. I chose the marine animals because I have always loved swimming and because I have always been drawn towards whales, sea turtles, sharks, and even jelly fish.
Club and organizations interests
The organizations that I am interested in joining while I am here at Tennessee Tech is the Marine Biology Club and Beta Beta Beta. Steady involvement in student organizations isn’t only a great way to meet new people but also looks really good on a resume showing that you actually did something while you were in college. It is also important to spread awareness throughout the community about your club, the club’s goal, and information about the club’s officers and members. The more good you spread with your club and the more good you make for others will in turn help you out personally.
Three organizations that I would be interested in interning for are:
