Ccontinuing Education and Environment - Personal Statement Example

            Natural science is more than a good choice. It is a dynamic and contemporarily relevant discipline that pervades various facets of human life. It is a broad-based science education and will provide me with the theoretical foundation to be an instrumental contributor as a competent and qualified worker for future employers. I look forward to being a proactive citizen of the human race that is committed to protecting, preserving, and ensuring the sustainability of the natural resources of the environment. As one of my research findings revealed, natural science provides an integrated, quantitative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems.

            As I have been made aware, there are diverse disciplines within the Natural Science course that interested students can specialize in. I am actually interested in all disciplines as they are all interconnected and could provide a more holistic and comprehensive development of knowledge and abilities if taken in their entirety.

            As a potential candidate for the position in future organizations that have core competencies and requirements for graduates from the Natural Science course, I have envisioned beginning as an environmental technician - gaining hands-on field experience, leading to field supervisor or site foreman. I plan to utilize my quantitative and analytical abilities gained as an auditor; my communication and management skills gained as an accountant; and my interpersonal skills gained as a floor coverer.

            Majoring in Bachelor of Science in Natural Science by August 2011 would enable me to obtain a solid foundation and reinforced understanding of the diverse principles and potential relevant applications of environmental science in our contemporary times and in addressing environmental problems in the future. The foothold would enable me to be professionally competent and qualified to critically analyze impending problems to suggest and recommend appropriate solutions. The knowledge, skills, and abilities that are honed are instrumental in achieving defined career goals and in ensuring that personal, professional, and organizational goals are congruent with each other.

            Finally, I am an avid promoter of continuing education. There is always a need to pursue further higher learning to expand one’s current knowledge of events that pertain to the course. Five years from now, I plan to be a site or team supervisor in the environmental science field. This can be achieved by gaining experience at the entry level and improving my skills through the organizational hierarchy. I am interested to delve into any of the following fields: hazardous waste management, soil remediation, or environmental planning. Future higher education that would further hone my knowledge, experience, skills, and abilities in this endeavor would be pursued to ensure that I would continue to be an instrumental contributor to the promotion, protection, and prevention of the destruction of our environment and natural resources.
