Having learned and grown through adolescence as an autistic child simultaneously possessing Asperger's syndrome, I consider myself a highly motivated, passionate, intelligent, and independent individual. Within my local community, people typically will not withhold immense expectations regarding an individual with learning disabilities, and substantial aspirations to be unique are discouraged and dissuaded. An everlasting portion of myself aspires to withhold my uniqueness and diverging qualities outside this community. I struggled through learning and adapting with a disability; however, through perseverance and dedication to commit quality and effort to my assignments and aspirations, utilizing this disability beneficially to aid my learning is a current capability. I retain an unyielding passion for developing my knowledge of the natural and physical world around me. These qualities continue to operate and function as motivation in addition to my disability. Overall, pursuing further knowledge in the sciences, such as knowledge and experience in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry, are what I desire to devote and commit to my career. Earth, humanity, and civilization are uniquely complex and constructed upon foundational scientific principles.
