Pursuing My Biomedical Science Degree
I have always had a curiosity about the complexity of life and how it all works. Ever since I was a young child I have laid awake in bed thinking about how bizarre it is to be alive. This is why I think that biomedical science is the right course for me. I believe it will allow me to further explore topics I find interesting and open doors for me to be able to use my knowledge to improve the lives of others through research and testing.
