This student joined their high school's Environmental Science, Engineering and Technology academy and Go Green club in 9th grade, sparking an interest in environmental science. In 10th grade, they received an award to study at the Teton Science School in Wyoming, an experience that significantly impacted their decision to pursue environmental science as a career. They have since taken AP Environmental Science, given speeches on environmental issues, and now shares their experiences with underclassmen as an ESET Ambassador to extend their knowledge and passion for environmental education.

Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom.
Upon entering ninth grade, I decided to join the Environmental Science, Engineering and Technology (ESET) academy in Carson High and be a member of the Go Green club. Each year, ESET has granted me numerous opportunities that have guided me and shown me direction. I was exposed to a variety of resources shown to me by teachers and students that allowed me to explore deeper into the world of environmental science. In the tenth grade, I was bestowed an Environmental Fellowship Award to go to the Teton Science School in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for a week. In the course of seven days, I observed the environment and learned more about what it would be like to work in the field as an environmental scientist. This experience opened a multitude of doors, giving me networking opportunities and significantly impacted me in deciding what career path to follow. It led me take AP Environmental Science, where my passion for the natural environment increasingly grew. Through this class, my knowledge grew as I absorbed information about the climate, energy, and how humans affect these processes. I was inspired to make a difference in environmental issues and have since given speeches and presentations about subjects that affect humans as a society. In junior year, I attended an Earth Day seminar at Mayor Garcetti’s house where I spoke with passion about environmental education. After exhausting all available resources for ESET, I now share my experiences and teach underclassmen about these opportunities as an ESET Ambassador. I create speeches and presentations for the underclassmen in an effort to extend my knowledge and share my passion with them. I have gained valuable information through all of these experiences and have a more concrete idea of my goals in the future. Collectively, they have taught me more about myself and has made me excited to be an environmental scientist whether I'm in the field or in an office.
