My name is Andrea Maliza, I am a student at The City College of New York, majoring in Biology. The sciences have had my interest since my early years and ever since kept amazing me. I love how science works especially human anatomy. While in college, I wish to exceed in all my academic skills as well as become a better version of myself, I wish to not be afraid to write my assignments with fear of getting a low grade but instead feeling proud of the work I am handing in. I hope to become very involved in the student body and build friendships with students who are aspiring biologists as well and who wish to exceed as much as myself. I wish to build bonds with my professors to make my college career easier and be able to network. After my bachelor’s degree, I am hoping to attend medical school in the future to become a pediatrician. I wish to help and attend those children in 3^rd world countries who don’t have access to health care by offering my services and providing children with the care they deserve. I want to be able to help those families in need by at least take care of their children and making sure they are healthy. With college, I also wish to demonstrate to my family that education is important, and educating yourself can take you places in life. I want my family to also realize that in life nothing is limited and that you can accomplish your craziest dream even if they seem very far and difficult to do so. I want to keep my word to my family and show them that my dreams and goals are serious and that it was possible with persistence.
