University BioChem Personal Statement
University Personal Statement
For as long as I can remember I have been immensely fascinated by the mechanics of life. Even as a child I took apart my toys to better understand how they function, before trying to piece them back together. However, upon entering high school, my interests shifted onto biology specifically. I was intrigued as to how the body functions day to day and fights of diseases.
To better comprehend what biomedicine entails, I volunteered to aid at Sunnybrook hospital for two weeks. With the supervision of a nurse, I made beds, delivered food, and even got to observe doctors treating patients. Such as administering needles, stitching wounds, and blood tests. This only fed my passion to engage in a job with the sole purpose of bettering health care in our society. Amidst this biomedical involvement I also partook in a stimulating procedural check up on my brother, with the supervision of my family doctor. Who knew of my passion in biomedicine. Back when I was nine, I found a pigeon whose right left was barely hanging on. I captured it and took it to my grandfather, we went through the exciting process of amputating and bandaging it. Within a week it was flying and well. These experiences definitely gave me insight of what to expect and have made me ever more curious.
Alongside these experiences, I have a love for science in school, represented by my determination in applying myself. Independence and creative thinking are crucial skills acquired in sciences. Both Biology and Chemistry contribute to an analytic facet of learning. Functions and Calculus help progress logical problem solving, which is vital in any health related profession. Furthermore, I also take pleasure in learning a wide array of biomedicinal information. I am always zealous towards expanding my scientific intelligence. I feel frequently reading biomedical articles about new discoveries and scientific breakthroughs in medicine benefits my already flourishing interest
