Biomed Academy Personal Statement

I consider science as my playground where I question nature’s rules and break them to witness phenomena. The possibilities that science can offer and what scientists can conduct keeps my curiosity active in learning how I can be part of the science community. When I was informed that my mother was diagnosed with Hepatitis C, I struggled to support her emotionally and felt unknowledgeable about the disease and her treatment. To understand my mother’s treatment and how she healed, I challenged myself to excel in every AP science course my high school offered to learn the foundation of science. Throughout my science courses, I drowned many times because the concepts were demanding. However, my passion for science and my mother’s condition kept me striving on. After various science classes, I felt passion was not enough and wanted to expand my abilities in a health environment. This led me to volunteer at an

My interest for science blossomed as a child, my mom is a lab technician and going to her job and seeing them learn all these astonishing things about a person from a simple tube of blood blew me away. In middle school I went to a STEM school, The Academy for Science and Design in order to allow that passion to grow, and from there I have participated in multiple science related research projects that I have been able to bring with me to national level competitions. In addition, in high school I am taking AP level science classes, such as AP Biology, in order to expand my knowledge. Soon I plan on starting to volunteer at the community hospital for an opportunity to gain real world experience in the scientific field. The thing I take most pride

As a young child, I recall always asking my father the silliest questions, and despite the rather irrational questions, he seemed to always have an answer. That curiosity has fueled me to become who I am today. Even more so, I have continually yearned to have the wisdom of my father, who, as a child, really seemed to have everything figured out. I was born on October 8th, 1997 in Elizabethton, Tennessee, and I have been living in Hampton, Tennessee, ever since the age of three. At that very same age, I also began attending Hampton Elementary. In addition to my inquisitiveness, I also have a passion for traveling and photography. While I have never since departed from the Hampton area, I have always had far more grandiose dreams than what this small town has ever seemed to offer; however, before I know it, I will be on my way to

Next, science is the light that keeps us out of the dark ages. If science did not evolve, we would have many unanswered questions related to real life, die with terrifying diseases, and starve without hygiene and nutritious food. Because science has an impact on every aspect of our lives, I am eager in exploring this immense field of study and improve society through healthcare. When it comes to STEM field and school, on top of maintaining good GPA and grades, I devote my time well to my extracurriculars. Starting 7th grade, my passion for opting the medical field has strengthened due to my influential pediatrician. This enhanced drastically as I started gaining many volunteering and shadowing experiences throughout high school. As a freshman, I started taking advantage of majority of the opportunities around me like joining HOSA (Health Occupations Students Of America), Steminism, NHS, UPMC Passavant, Senior Living Facility. Covering a wide range of areas in healthcare-- volunteering/shadowing a geriatrician, pharmacist, nurse, surgeon and more-- solidified my aspiration. However, when I think about the medical field, clinical is not the only side. Research plays a huge role in medicine because without this, we would have inadequate knowledge about science and also would not have access to all these sophisticated treatments. Bayer School Scholars Program is a great opportunity for students like me to

Even though I have been interested in Biomedical Science for quite a while, I only know the basics such as Human Anatomy, and simple health procedures. However in the academy of Biomedical Science, I will be able to gain many types of new information. I’ll be able to focus on my future. Many kids do not think about getting an early start. Most of them are undecided on what they would like to do in this one life they have been given. Abraham Lincoln once said, ”You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” This is one of my main mottos in life. Think ahead so that you’re not stuck on it in the future. I have been thinking ahead since 6th grade. I’ve known what I to do and I’ve known where I want to go. High Tech is the perfect school for me. Everything that I need in order to succeed is all in this amazing

The field of biomedical research has always fascinated me. I am most interested in your Department of Biotechnology. The almost-limitless advances in the field have opened up new and exciting opportunities, opportunities that I wish to participate in. Nowadays one has to have the perfect combination of theory and practical knowledge. Biomedical research is one of the most important scientific fields today and is beneficial not only to the individual, but to society as well.

As I study to complete a Biomedical Engineering degree at the University of Florida I know that I will gain extensive knowledge that will help me succeed in my post collegiate endeavors. Attending the University of Florida will further my knowledge on this field in both classrooms and research labs. By the end of my career at UF I hope to have the skills and knowledge needed to conduct research, work in a research group, and even lead research projects in the Biomedical field. Currently, I am planning on applying to medical school. The hard work and dedication that i need in order to receive a degree from UF will not only increase my chances of being accepted into medical school, but also of being successful as a med-school student, and eventually

I am a pre-med student pursuing a biomedical science degree which I aim to receive in four years. After university, I hope to attend graduate school where I can pursue an MD/Ph.D. degree. I strongly believe that conducting research is a valuable learning experience that would enhance my undergraduate studies by allowing me to expand and apply my knowledge. Furthermore, conducting research now would serve as a beneficial precursor for eventual graduate studies.

I have been interested in your second year Health Academy program. I first found out about the program through past year students who have been taken part in Health Academy. I am interested in being part of of the Health Academy group because the health field has been in my interest for a long time, and being able to experience the health work field, and I would enjoy learning more about the human body structure and function.

I would like to study biomedical science, because not only is it a very exciting ever changing area that is relevant on a daily basis to humans, I am very keen to be challenged and inspired and involved in the latest advances in medical research. With my love of science in mind, I decided to study for the Level 3 BTEC in Applied Science at college. Studying has helped me make a transformation from a youth to a young adult; I have taught myself to be disciplined which I feel can be reflected in the grades I have achieved.

The Masters of Biomedical Sciences at Duke University School of Medicine will help me enhance my professional and scientific knowledge toward my preparation into medical school. This program will allow me to immerse myself in a patient-centered service learning to further prepare me to tackle future rigorous medical obstacles in medical school and as a future physician. I’m looking forward to working with a diverse group of individuals who also have the same aspirations and values. Taking an oath to help the health of a patient you encounter in need, is a selfless act I aspire to obtain. I have the love and empathy to care for another human being which has provided me with the passion and tenacity to have empiricism this far in my medical journey

Growing up, I’ve always admired physicians and what they do for others. I’ve seen the way patients’ look when a skillful physician assists them with their problems. I’ve seen the happiness on their faces when they have been treated. This is a huge portion of my personality because I am devoted to helping those who need it the most. My ambition is to pursue the Biology Major, with a Minor in Chemistry, and then, transition into the Premedical Program. I have chosen this major because Biology is the heart of Medicine, which is the graduate program I wish to further pursue in my college career. In school, I admire the complexity and interesting details that are entwined within my Biology and Chemistry courses. It piques an interest in my mind

I was walking alongside my mother to a grocery store when I saw a war veteran with an amputated leg sitting in a wheelchair. Being a curious five-year-old boy, I asked my mother, ''Why can't that man walk like us?"     She replied, ''It's because he has no leg."    

Engineering is in my blood. My brother, father, grandfather, and great grandfather were all engineers. I believe that the engineering gene runs through the blood of the Iyasele family. My family, along with participating in science fairs and summer programs, led me to want to become a biomedical engineer.

One of the crucial moments in my life was the decision I had to take; as to what I was going to do next in life. Having completed my Advanced Level in 2013, I realized that it was not the end of my career as a student. I needed strong academic foundation along with other soft skills to meet the challenges and survive in this commercial world as a successful individual. In view of these thoughts, I was unable to make a firm decision as to what my career direction would be. After a month or so of various discussions with my parents, friends and other learned people I was able to reason out the best choice for me.
