I totally struggled with my why major essay at first. My first draft made it look like I was destined to study biology since I was five. But that just wasn't true! After a lot of thought, I realized it all started with a weird summer camp I went to where I got to dissect a frog for the first time. I was grossed out, but somehow fascinated.
That moment made me curious about how things work, which led me to want to study biology. In my second draft, I added this messy part about my initial reaction and how it shaped my journey. It felt way more authentic and relatable.
