Marvin Lee Miller who achieved success in academia as a research scholar feels mentorship of the young and adults can go a long way in honing their skills thus helping them come out with flying colors in higher education at Santa Ana College, and especially at UC Berkeley.
He is of the view that every youngster requires a mentor. Though Marvin Lee Miller grew up without any mentor to guide him, he at a later stage changed after being engaged in higher education at Santa Ana College, and especially at UC Berkeley,
Now a role model to the students and researchers at UC Berkeley due to his achievements in scientific fields even after facing several ups and downs of his early life, Marvin Lee Miller today occupies an important place in academia.
Instead of discouraging him, these ups and downs coupled with multiple hardships turmoil emboldened Marvin Lee Miller to create what he is today. He believes with proper mentoring, many other students can also become like him.
Such mentoring, he said, can teach hundreds of students, adolescents, and youths to develop their personalities and enhance their sense of personal responsibility and the value of applying themselves in different research and other constructive works.
Marvin Lee Miller cites his own case of how mentoring taught him to turn his interests in biology into actions that benefited him. His passion for biological science led him to join UC Berkeley where he proved himself as a learner and a researcher.
He went to UC Berkeley after completing high school and a brief stint at Santa Ana College. It was fruitful. After joining the program there only with a theoretical understanding of the foundational principles of biology, Marvin Lee Miller worked hard in Berkeley’s laboratories.
This helped him immensely to gain a greater applicable understanding of these principles of biological science. Marvin Lee Miller has always been passionate about research in biological science. He spent two years working as a volunteer for an oncology study at UC Irvine.
He was involved in skeletal muscle research at UC Berkeley in 2019. He is completing his major in Molecular and Cell Biology. Here, it must be mentioned that Marvin Lee Miller mentored others at UC Berkeley thus emerging as a role model.
While at UC Berkeley, Marvin Lee Miller found several research avenues opening up for him. One of them happened to be an oncology research study. He started doing it with Dr. Xiaolin Zi and his ongoing current cell culture study with Dr. Jose Pablo Vazquez-Medina.
Such studies and research under Dr. Zi and Dr. Vazquez-Medina greatly helped him to understand the intricacies of cell and tissue engineering. Such research studies also gave Marvin Lee Miller the chance to make himself a part of their publications.
This, in turn, encouraged Marvin Lee Miller to get his own publication in the Ronald E. McNair Journal during his research on the GPR81 lactate receptor.
Marvin Lee Miller indeed is a role model for hundreds of people, especially the youth. He set an example of earning Associate Degrees with hard efforts and received a number of Honours and Awards from the prestigious Santa Ana College in Santa Ana California.
He is the person who proved that a downturn in life should never discourage people from reaching their goals. Such ups and downs should further embolden them to move ahead to fulfill their ambitions as happened in the case of Marvin Lee Miller. He, indeed, is an example of success braving all odds of life.
