Abstract

Michael is a Chemistry student from Middleboro, Massachusetts, who is very passionate about science and fine arts. He is a talented musician who has played several different instruments since he was six years old. Michael also invests time in drawing and writing. He is in his Junior year, is interested in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals, and hopes to teach chemistry one day in order to share his passion for science. Michael says that this paper was actually very important to him as he reflected on some of the challenges that he was experiencing in his life at the time. “The essay explored the necessity of ideas that challenge the status quo: something that I was faced with after leaving my hometown for school.” Michael also says that “eventually, through civil discourse with others, and a broader understanding of the world around me, I found I was more accepting of the new ideas I was being exposed to at the university.”
