Hi! My name is Esme Montes and I am an incoming senior at
UCLA in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology. This summer I was accepted
into the CARE SEM SPUR summer program to conduct research in a lab. So far, I
have learned so much in these short two weeks that I have been attending the
program seminars. We have had a couple of guest speakers come and present to us
some information about their experiences in graduate school and what their journeys
have been like. Hearing them speak has just encouraged me so much more to
pursue my PhD career. The program has also brought in people that are in the acceptance
committee at UCLA’s programs and shared what they are looking for in incoming
students and how much work it really takes. This also made me realize what it
took to become a good candidate and has made me hungry to succeed and pushed me
to focus on my end goals. I also have met so many amazing and intelligent
people from around the world and have learned so much from them. I cannot wait to see what the remaining weeks
hold for me and how much more I will learn.

this beautiful fountain everyday!
This past weekend I decided to explore LA for a bit and
ended up at the Getty.
