Seminar reflection
During this semester the Rise students had to attend different
seminars. These seminars were given by different off-island universities like North Carolina, Tuff University, Michigan state and many more. They offered a variety of topic, from neuroscience to drug delivery. Each student need to attend at least four seminars, in order to increase their knowledge as a scientist.
During the seminars each speaker would give their experience as a
researcher. Their experience made me identify with them and wanted to pursue even more a research carrier. It made us realize that they were in the same position that we are right now and that they took chances in order to accomplish their dreams. They told us to take chances and give our best because that what gonna paid off later on. It made us believe that our dreams as a scientist can come true if you work hard.
These seminars make us grow as scientist and increase our knowledge
in different areas. They showed us different techniques used by them, and that will be used by us in the near future. This way we can pass on our knowledge to future generations and just as the speakers were, be a role model to them. As professionals they guided us, telling us what would be
better for us and how much effort it requires. These seminars also gave us the opportunity to be interviewed by the universities.
Each university gave opportunity to students to be interview in order to
recruit for a summer research internship. During these interviews we could practice what we learn in class about how to perform an interview. The advice gave by our teachers help me to be chosen by North Carolina State University for summer research. These seminars made all of us grown as a scientist in so many ways. We acquire a ton of knowledge that would be helpful in our future. The speakers taught me that it not gonna be essay but if work hard it will be possible. This experience made me value all the opportunities that life offered us, specially the opportunities offered by the Rise program.
