In 5 years I hope to be graduating college at Oregon State University, majoring in biology
with a potential minor in genetics. I have always known that my career will be in the
scientific field, by majoring in biology I know I will have a lot of options career wise.
Recently I became interested in the field of reproductive medicine, I have personally
always wanted to have a family of my own in the future and I know that it would be
devastating for me if I’m not able to have children. The ability to give people in that
situation a shot at a family would make me feel as though I’m making a difference in the
world, and that’s my overall goal in life, to make a positive impact on the world around
me. That led me to consider adding a minor in genetics. I would

Ever since middle school science class I have been enamored with all things science.
Every career path I’ve considered pursuing was in some scientific field, forensic
technician, pharmacist, osteologist, anesthesiologist, and currently a geneticist. Having
taken accelerated science programs such as honors physical science, honors biology,
AP biology, and anatomy and physiology has taught me to question things,
self-evaluate, and do things in a scientific manner. They also encouraged me to pursue
my love of science and discovery. I have been very fortunate to have teachers that love
their field just as much as I do and have mentored me to become an exceptional student.
Taking an anatomy and physiology course gave me much more than a deeper
understanding of the human form, I also got a better understanding of how dissections
are conducted. This is important to me because for a while I was unsure whether I would
be able to stomach dissections in medical school and that doubt led to me considering
smaller fields of science that wouldn’t require me to attend medical school. After taking
When I entered college at LSU, in the fall of 2009, I was undecided in my major. I did this purposefully because I wanted to give myself the opportunity to have one full year to try out a variety of classes and truly allow myself to find my passion. It was during my second semester at LSU that I took KIN 2500, a human anatomy course, and felt the feeling I had been hoping I would fe...
Now if I were to get my Bachelors Degree it would take me about four years and the tuition would be more expensive but i would have to go to a different college. All degrees and colleges have different classes but if I go here then I would be taking Biology, Psychology, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Comp I and II, Government, and American History after 1877 plus many more (Nelson, Sherryl. Personal interview. 1 Dec, 2017). My career is considered a bachelor of science (B.S.) (“Colorado Technical University”). That means I will be working with the Sciences depending on my
It was not until my sophomore year at Michigan State University when I found the career path of genetic counseling. I was instantly attracted to studying genetics because the human genome astonished me and enabled me to work with the two things I love – Genetics, and caring for those in need. My main motive in studying genetics is the desire to contribute to the growing medical fields and give my utmost help to our society to overcome genetic diseases. I will graduate with a major in Genomics and Molecular Genetics with a minor in Health Promotion at Michigan State University Lyman Briggs College. This sustained and comprehensive genetics major makes me distinguished among other applicants since my understanding of genetics and genomics is much more in-depth and my dedication to pursuing a genetic counseling career is my end goal.
Desiring a career in the medical field, I am currently studying to be a Obstetrics and Gynecology Nurse or OB/GYN nurse. OB/GYN nurses specialize in the health care of women. The focus is mainly on helping women through pregnancies, labor, childbirth, and postpartum care; they provide care for women throughout every stage of their life("Obstetrics and Gynecology Nurse (OB GYN)"). The care provided by an OB/GYN nurse is critically important during the fickle months of a pregnancy. The nurse also provides support to the soon-to-be-moms as they may have a wide array of physical and emotional change throughout the duration
A deep understanding of the human body and how it works is necessary to attain a career in health science, which is the ultimate goal of many students in the sciences at Chatham University. Consequently, many students seeking careers in the medical sciences are required to take the anatomy lecture and laboratory course. The classic anatomy course consists of learning anatomical terminology, the identification of structures, including their location and landmarks in the body, and their functions so that students can apply that knowledge first in class and later in practice. The laboratory portion of anatomy is a crucial component because structure, function, and context are the driving forces for success in the class. Students majoring in the
High School has helped me to refine this passion to the field of biological sciences with my particular interest being molecular genetics. My peers called my "crazy" for undertaking all three science subjects in my HSC course, but for me there really was no other choice. I have excelled in biology with a trial exam mark of 97%. Within the component of advanced molecular genetics of this course my mark of 100% reflects the love and passion I feel towards this subject, and I am extremely proud to be ranked number one in a very competitive class of sixteen. While biology has been my favourite subject I have also excelled in Physics and Chemistry ranking first and second in these su...
Throughout most of my life I have had an immense passion for medicine and more specifically in neuroscience. It is this interest that has motivated me in my endeavor to go into the field of neurosurgery. The combination of my yearning to help people on a smaller individual scale and my interests has made this aspiration of mine surefire since the age of twelve. However, before I discovered my love of medicine, I had an interest in the field of science in its entirety. My young mind was curious and I found a more particular interest in a subset of science that all children marvel at, in the form of dinosaurs, paleontology.
When the day came, I couldn’t help control myself that I decided to get to the hospital an hour early. I followed the doctor inside multiple patient’s rooms and experienced how he diagnosed the problem and derived a treatment plan on the spot according to the patient’s condition. This shadowing experience taught me a lot about the work setting and the personality of a doctor, and also provided me with insight as to what medical professionals experience in the real world. Anatomy, on the other hand, went very specific about how the different parts of the body function together to perform daily tasks. This class had many hands on learning activities which strengthened my understanding
Also the former group in that study had better appreciation of the need for clinically concerned anatomy teaching method and dissection. This finding is in line with our study where 74% of them opined that the present emphasis on dissection should be continued unchanged. Such methods enhance the lucidity of understanding the three-dimensional relational mind map of the regions of the human body among the students (21,
This field of study is most compelling to me ever since my step father who has a major in biology helped me in my first biology course in high school. Since, I discovered that I wanted to attain a degree in biology it made me question what I wanted to do with this knowledge in the real world. Coming from a large family where almost every adult has pursued a professional career through a higher education, I’ve had the pleasure to experience and understand what it means to be a part of their chosen professional career in the work force. The adults in my family have very different and diverse occupations that I have been able to learn about, each of their professional careers have intrigue me in a unique way. However, out of all the careers out there and at an opportunity to pursue, the medical field has been the most interesting to me.
My exposure to the rich and diverse marine life throughout my childhood and early adolescence, gained by travelling to various tropical destinations, has been the instigator for my interest in the marine environments; as a result I have been infatuated with the complex ecosystem that is the world's oceans. The idea of the undiscovered regions of the ocean holds particular interest, as they could hold various new species and ecosystems that may offer new information with regards to aquatic evolution and sustainability. Moreover, Phytoplankton is of fascination, in the way they use geothermal energy in chemosynthesis. The ocean intrigues me from a purely academic standpoint, as very little is known about the oceans, and in terms of discovery,
Science has been one of my most sincere interests and one day I hope to pursue a career with a scientific focus. After I graduate from college I aspire to become an anesthesiologist. When most adolescents are asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” they either elude the question or respond with “I don’t know.” When people asked me, I was the latter type of person.
I am always fascinated at the many branches of Biology. The study of life is an idea that always manages to spark my curiosity, and it drives me into the enthusiastic research of the latest advancements into the field of science. Since my early years I found myself collecting plant leaves and looking at them through a microscope, and being baffled yet admiring of what I saw through the lens. Throughout my High School experience, I read articles ranging from creating 3D - printed limbs, organs, and tissue for people, to creating an anti-lymphoma vaccine that was made with tobacco leaves carrying RNA from cancerous B-cells. I follow newspapers for the breakthroughs in the cure for cancer, and I attentively pursued the Ebola outbreak in western
When I think about it, my interest in Biology all started when my mother told me that she was expecting identical twins. At the time I only had a very basic understanding of reproduction and I remember being utterly baffled, thinking 'How can there possibly be two?' Being inquisitive, I began reading lots of multiple pregnancy books and gained a greater understanding of how the zygote must split in two in the very early stages of pregnancy. I am still very interested in this area, as what causes the split is still a mystery amongst scientists. Nowadays my interest in Biology is much wider, for example the GM crop debate, stem cell research and of course evolution of life on Earth.
As for science, I have always had a passion for it, always been interested in finding solutions to problems. Whether that be STEM related, people related or otherwise. You give me a problem, most of the time ill attempt to d...
