"I chose to pursue a career in biology because I have been fascinated by living organisms since taking a science class in 7th grade. I enjoy studying living organisms to help develop biological knowledge and understanding of living processes for several different purposes, including treating disease and sustaining the natural environment. My dream job is to work for your company as a biologist and assist in performing DNA Sequencing reactions on the 3730XL DNA Analyzer."
