After high school, I want to achieve a few things: I want to get into, really, any university. I would love to get into University of Manitoba, or Guelph, but I would really be fine with any university that I would, potentially apply to. I will do this by applying to as many universities as I can, and making sure that I meet all of the requirements for them. I will also need to be prepared for any meet-ups/interviews they may schedule with me. After I am accepted, and have chosen a university (if I am accepted into more than 1), I will work very hard to earn a bachelor’s degree in science (BSc.). I will work hard by studying everything I need, showing up to class on time, and as often as I possibly can, and making a great impression on my teachers. …show more content…

I really started to like it in the eighth grade, when we studied biology, specifically the human body, and got to look through microscopes, and do labs. I was so interested, and thought it would be pretty awesome to do all the time, but this isn’t where I discovered my adoration for genetics, and science itself, it was a few months later when I started watching a TV show called “Orphan Black”. One of the main characters in the show, Cosima Niehaus, is a PhD student studying developmental evolutionary biology. She inspired me to dig more into science, and as I narrowed it down to biology, I started looking at more specific areas. I was into neurobiology, biotechnology, and then I stumbled across genetics. I was very fascinated with heredity, I didn’t, and still don't, know a whole bunch about it, but I find it so incredibly interesting, and knew at that moment, that this is what I wanted to do with my life. As I found out more about the career, I realized how great it fit with my personality, and learning style! I am an independent worker, and most scientists do research on their own, however although I am very independent, I like to work with other people, and just like any job, being a scientist requires you to consult with other people about potential research, etc. Despite the fact that my myBlueprint career spectrum survey results claim that I am an auditory learner, I do believe I am more of a kinesthetic, or hands-on, learner.

At the age of ten being raised by minority parents was very difficult for me at the time. At the age of ten I was forced for my English and Spanish vocabulary to be very proficient due to always translating for my parents. At that age learning both languages was annoying, frustrating, and difficult; however that experience shaped me to be a proficient bilingual nurse present and gain benefits by being bilingual. The benefits where the many open job opportunities with the increase pay.

In high school, I was a Biology Olimpiad student, I love Biology and I love tutoring younger students. I always had that love for babies and children, may be it’s because I never had a younger brother or sister. In 2009 I won a gold medal on National Biology Olimpiad. At that moment I recognized that hard work and discipline will lead you to the place you want to be. While studying Biology I always found human anatomy and physiology fascinating, how every second our immune system is protecting us from microorganisms and parasites, and how these cells are trained to be self-tolerant or how our brain rewires and heals itself and can compensate it’s damaged part, etc.

My interest in a counseling related profession and helping others spawned as a result of a lifetime of learning and curiosity; namely, mindfully molding my thoughts, actions, and habits into a perpetual pattern of unconscious and unpremeditated altruistic behavior. Furthermore, I have always aspired to determine the roots of all my emotions and master the behaviors of a trustworthy, loyal, courteous, and kind individual. Every day should begin with the thought, “What can I, as an individual or collaboratively with others, accomplish to relieve part of the shared and total human suffering of this world?” If such a mantra was revered by the collective consciousness of the human race, misery and suffering would be sharply reduced, if not eliminated

Ever since I was a child, I have always been fascinated by how everything worked, especially why people are the way they are. As someone who is typically very quiet and introverted, I spent a lot of time observing others and their interactions with others. When it comes down to what makes us who we are, it’s our brain. The experiences and memories we go through shapes our thinking and ultimately changes how we see the world and think. I’m not exactly sure what field of medicine I would like to go into, but I am sure of my love of science and working with people.
