As I go into my final few months of high school, I have to come to the realization in what I want to do for the rest of my life. As I have taken AP Environmental Science in high school, I have grown fond of our natural environment and those organisms living within it. I want to be able to work with the environment for my career, and protect it. That’s why I decided to to go to the University of Connecticut to study environmental science. This area of study will be a good choice for myself as I enjoy to be in the outdoors and not crsamped up in a tiny office in some building. I plan on going into some environmental field after graduating college, whether that be with the federal government, a private organization, or even a school teacher to teach environmental science to the next generation of scientists.
