Abstract

My project “Genetic Diversity and Conservation of Old-Growth Cross Timbers Forest” has been undoubtedly the best learning experience of my undergraduate career. The project did not go at all like I had planned, but it gave me a taste of realworld scientific exploration and allowed me to practice some of the things I’ve learned in class. I’ve adapted to challenges, changed my plans, overcome obstacles through creative thinking and sheer diligence, and collaborated with colleagues who are working on the same organism. These skills will be invaluable in my future career as a research professor. I will see this project through no matter what road blocks are still ahead, and I hope to wrap things up by mid-summer at the latest.
