I can never forget the time I wrapped slices of raw onions onto my grandpa's foot. I looked up at his strained face, and very calmly he said to me, "It burns, can you please take it off?" My dad, next to me, told me to ignore his requests. He studied Chinese medicine, and this was an Eastern remedy to lower blood pressure. My grandpa had recently had a spike in blood pressure, and it was terrifying to realize that I could have easily lost him to a heart attack or stroke.
My current area of interest is in the engineering and the biomedical field. After experiencing the rigorous AP Chemistry course, I was able to find my passion in the field of medicine. Furthermore, I had already developed an interest in engineering from my previous engineering courses and clubs, so a deeper understanding of what I wanted to do was discovered in a chemistry lab. Being involved with the Technology Student Association at our institution, I learned several different skills in a variety of technical fields. This led to my conclusion that I wanted to become a biomedical engineering. This field of engineering incorporates both the medical aspect and technical aspect of what I want to become in the future.
Living in a modern society, technology continues to advance in ways that many would think impossible many years ago. Technology continues to aid the human race in many ways; such as making communication possible across continents within seconds, helping develop new medicines for previously incurable diseases, and completely tasks that would take hours to do by hand. However, technology does not just develop on its own as an intelligent being, but it continues to be molded by those that work in the field of computer science, computer engineering, and computer programming. Each level of the computerized fields has its own field of work, and each aids technology advancement in its own way. Computer programmers train to correctly perform their duties, understand the tools and language, and sharpen their personal qualities. Becoming a computer programmer is not an easy task and takes eons to perfect, as the code is forever changing to adapt to our needs.
Many great inventions have been made through research in biomedical engineering, for example, genetic engineering, cloning, and insulin. After insulin has been invented, there are still a lot of problems with the purity and the quantity of the insulin produced. Biomedical engineering devised a way to produce large quantities of insulin with a higher level of purity, which has saved a lot of human lives. Although biomedical engineering just been officially founded 200 years ago, its practice has been with us for centuries. According to The Whitaker Foundation website, 3,000-year-old mummy from Thebes, which uncovered by German archeologists, with a wooden prosthetic tied to its foot to serve as a big toe is the oldest known limb prosthesis and Egyptian listen to the internal of human anatomy using a hollow reed, which is what today’s stethoscope. No matter what the date, biomedical engineering has provided advances in medical technology to improve human health. These advances by biomedical engineering have created a significant impact to our lives. I have determined to become a biomedical engineer. Biomedical engineering will have a good prospect because it will become one of the most important careers in the future.

I have always been good at biology and mathematics. This is one reason why one of my many goals is to major in biomedical engineering. I am very excited to start studying biomedical sciences, and hope to use my newly learned skills in the medical field. Achieving a college education in such field will pave the road for my future career, by teaching and instilling knowledge that would not have been learned otherwise.
For as long as I can remember, I have been extremely passionate about the sciences. Whilst studying the sciences separately at GCSE, I developed an affinity towards biology and chemistry, and so chose to continue studying them at A Level. I became especially fascinated by the fact that the human body is made up almost entirely of chemical elements. These chemical elements form the genome and control every aspect of every living organism and by forming different sequences of elements and different bonds, unique molecules such as antibodies and proteins can be produced as a first line of defense for the organism. After trying to decide between biology and chemistry as separate subjects, I chose to pursue biochemistry as it combines my favourite
My interest in computer programming sprung from my experience with mathematics, robotics, and my discovery of Project Euler. The math I enjoy isn’t the computational math found in some typical math classes; the type of math I enjoy most is problem solving. Throughout middle school and high school, I have been a part of my school math team, which instilled my passion for solving difficult problems. After joining the robotics club at my high school, I learned some basic principles of engineering and was introduced to the very basics of programming. Despite the little time the robotics team devoted to programming, I continued to explore programming even more and found algorithms especially interesting. In addition, finding Project Euler inspired
“Doctors treat patients; Biomedical Engineers discover treatments.” Said a guest speaker in a biomedical engineering course I attended in Malaysia. These words opened my eyes to the possibilities of biomedical engineering. To me, biology is a map of systems that connects to form a cohesion diagram. Applying biology in engineering provides me with room to experiment and create which is something I found in every class in this course.
My passion for Biomedical Engineering (BE) stems from my interests in physics and biology. To help me finalise my subject choices for university I attended a BE taster day at KCL, which really increased my appreciation for the nuances of the subject and its multidisciplinary aspect. I am astonished by doctors' ability to locate a tumour in the brain with non-invasive Imaging techniques such as CT scans and plan from start to finish how the surgery should take place. This prompted me to read around the area and I became captivated by Dr Bellamkonda's research. He is currently working on therapies for GBM brain cancer, controlling the movements of the tumour making it much easier to treat and thus standing a chance of raising survival rates from
