What made you choose to become a Microbiologist?

The interviewer is interested in knowing about what in particular motivated you to choose this career. Think back to what might've initially influenced your desire to take this career path. If you can, try to use this opportunity to tell a brief story that will give your interviewer some insight that can be both personal and memorable.

"I chose to become a microbiologist because I have always been curious about the effects of microorganisms on the environment and its inhabitants. I want to be a part of the solutions to our environmental problems. When I was a kid, I was always fascinated by microscopes and living things that were too small for me to see with a naked eye. As I've grown older, I'm still just as fascinated and now know more about how many of those living things impact the world around us. Being on top of the issues related to this area and finding solutions for them is all very exciting to me. The ever-changing landscape of the microbiology is fast-paced and keeps me engaged on a daily basis."
