I've learned that "researcher" is more than just another adjective used to describe myself; it represents the work I collaborate on with others, and the hands on experience that allows me to take what I learn in class and work determine solutions to problems. Being a researcher requires me to search for further information, and know when to ask for help from my advisor and other peers and faculty. Being able to take what is known and apply it to a problem or use theorems to set standards is one of the main reasons I value my work.
