Make this essay sound more personal from a student’s perspective and make the vocab less pretentious. I want this essay to have an extended metaphor about playing minecraft during the covid pandemic/lockdown led me to a realization about my interest in the healthcare field/biology. I don’t want the essay to just start off with comparing minecraft and the healthcare field, I want it to gradually build up the connections in the essay.
EX: a 14 year old playing minecraft for fun and now as a 17 year old, I realize the connections between minecraft and biology/healthcare system.
Minecraft enabled me to become more interested in:
– molecular levels
– exploration
– building in minecraft led to a new level of creativity
– “Minecraft has a functioning ecology, with chemistry and physics aspects interwoven within the game that can be used to develop the scientific literacy of players.”
When editing this essay, I want it to sound like how a person would normally communicate to another person. (This is what I mean by not sounding too pretentious in my essay with huge vocab).
