I was really interested in Greene's article about putting science back into our lives and as I read others accounts of their education with science, it really just brought out the main reason I came to Bryn Mawr. In middle school I used to be amazing at science and I went to high school excited to try better science courses. From age five I wanted to become a doctor, but in high school the classes didn't seem to help me and I fell off the radar a little bit. When I visited Bryn Mawr with my dream of being a doctor still intact. The tour guide opened up a lab room and she touched the lab table and asked the group if we noticed anything. We didn't really know what to say and she quickly said how the lab tables were lower to fit the average heights of women.
I just remember thinking to myself that every small detail would help me bring science back into my life because it was once a really strong interest and in high school my interest started to fade. I know I went off on a really far away tangent from the articles but that was all I could think about when I read Greene's article. The soldier read a book of his and it helped him cope with his life, and Greene in return realized that even small things (like writing his book) could have a bigger affect that he ever thought. I just hope that my years at Bryn Mawr will bring science back into my life.
