FinalistBio
I’m trying hardest to become a Professor that can share their love of chemistry by teaching. Being the first in my family to be able to attend college is not something only I’m proud of but my dad as well since immigrating from Turkey gave his future children a chance that most couldn’t have. Even though I have a disability that makes going to school hard sometimes, I still push through so I can make my dream happen.
