Why I might like this program • I would enjoy this program because I enjoy various science topics. I would be eager to continue studies in the field of science at the post-secondary level. As I am interested in topics such as ecosystems, animal behavior, the functions of the human body, and the functions of cells; I believe this is a program that I would thoroughly enjoy.
