Hey I’m Rachel, I’m a senior majoring in telecommunications and minoring in English. I’m from Berwyn, PA and I love all things pop culture and travel. The closest thing I do to scientific research is watching Grey’s Anatomy and the Discovery Channel.
I have been surrounded by science people for the last two years as my roommates have been veterinary, biology, and forensic science majors. However, science is just not really my thing. I understand the basic science behind telecommunications technology and bits and pieces I have picked up from my roommates however, it’s not really my thing. The periodic table doesn’t exactly capture my interest and I’m not a math fan either so I don’t relish learning equations.
That said, I know that science is incredibly important and I should make an effort to be aware of current events and scientific discoveries. Science is at the forefront of our economy and plays a massive part in our every day lives. I am hoping that in taking this class I will learn more about science today and make keeping up with new discoveries a habit. I am taking this class to try and make that happen…. and to fulfill my general education requirements so I can graduate (that’d be great).
