Biomedical Studies Personal Statement

When I first began college I was unsure of what career path I wanted to pursue, but I knew whatever I chose would lead me to a challenging and rewarding career. My first semester I enrolled as a biology major because of my interest in science and desire to work within the health care field. This same semester I also happened to be taking a nutrition class as apart of my general education, and I was introduced to the science of nutrition. As the semester progressed my passion for nutrition grew, while the feelings of uncertainty I had about my future career path began to dissolve. I was drawn to nutrition once I began learning about the effect that food has on our health, and realized I could help people suffering from diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, which are so prevalent today. I knew that choosing to major in dietetics was going to require an immense amount of hard work and dedication, but I decided to accept the challenge and pursue a career in dietetics.

It is my hope to eventually become a prosperous biomedical engineer. Even within biomedical engineering there are many distinct fields, and I am most interested in rehabilitation biomedical engineering. I would like to be somewhere where I can help those with disabilities to become proficient in anything they aspire to do; Additionally, I would like to be a part of the design process, although I have an interest in research as well.

I was very unsure of my major until I was bombarded with questions my freshman year such as “Where do you see yourself in four years?”, “What are you planning on majoring in?” These questions seemed to linger in the back of my mind for my entire highschool career. It wasn’t until senior year, that I realized that biology was my passion. Beekeeping was what initially sparked my interest in biology at a young age. However, health science courses offered at Swain County High also influenced my decision in picking a major. After taking health team relations my freshman year, I was drawn into the health science pathway. Which had a major impact on my education and individual interests. Whether I was dissecting a cow’s eye in anatomy and physiology or learning about the diseases of the human body, I was very constantly captivated in class. I think it was important to learn hands on rather than googling images of what a cow’s eye looks like because of the experience it allowed me to have. Without beekeeping or my health science courses, I don’t think I would have established my

hen I first started college here at the University of Southern Mississippi, I was undecided on what I wanted to do in the future. I have always been very passionate about working in the medical field and knew that was something that I could see myself doing in the future. I first started out majoring in Biology, because I wanted to be a Physical Therapist. Throughout high school my career interests switched back and forth from physical therapy to nursing. I decided to major in Biology because I was very interested in science and knew there would be plenty opportunities to learn more about it. During sophomore year I continued thinking about nursing and eventually knew that my heart was leading me towards changing my major. After I changed

Going into college there are so many careers to pick to pursue. Many people already have their path already set, but many people come into college ready to explore their multiple options and see what fits them best. However, I knew where my educational journey was taking me before I knew what college I was going to. I wanted to pursue my passions and help every child I could along the way. Becoming a Pediatric Hematologists and Oncologists was not the easiest decision, nor was it my first decision. However, once I further explored this career, there is no other medical career I could see myself in. Now that I have decided my career path, I have decided my career goals, the requirements to be successful, and the approach that I will use to accomplish

I’m interested in a career in the medical field and health care services, but I am undecided whether I want to practice medicine or go into medical research. With this program, I explore the research side of the medical field. Since I was young, I have been fascinated by the seemingly endless possibilities in genetics and stem cells, but more specifically, their application to the human body. Studying the countless diseases and birth defects, genetic therapies and manipulation of stem cells reveals the endless potential to improve health care. From treating predisposition to diseases and cancer to growing new organs, the fields of genetics and stem cells is growing quickly, and I want to join and help advance them.

Attending Robert Morris and pursuing a degree would require me to not only build upon the skills that I have already acquired, but to develop new skills as well. I am interested in pursuing a degree in biomedical engineering, because I want to be able to create things that will positively impact the lives of people who need help the most. This degree would require me to be able to put the needs of others before myself, to be humble to accept the ideas of others, and to have the ability to act proactively towards the future, rather than completely focusing on what is presently occurring. When I first entered high school, I wanted to enter a majority of the clubs to gain new friends and see what interested me. I saw extracurricular activities

My interest in Biomedical Sciences first began when I studied Biology GCSE in school. Throughout my primary school years I had read books and encyclopedias regarding the human body and its various components. Society alone depends solely upon such expansions, therefore the urge to contribute to a life-changing profession has long since ignited my interest in a biomedical science course. Alongside the need to apply a Biology built science to medical use, the opportunity to be educated further on the complexity of the human body has given the motivation to steer me towards a well-regarded specialty such as this. During my first year of sixth form I had done work experience in a nursery named Scallywags Nursery.

My interest in biomedical engineering (BME) started when I started to learn about prosthetic legs. I was intrigued to learn that prosthetic legs existed and were being used for running and playing sports. After doing research, I discovered that engineers were the ones who improved prosthetic legs over time and designed them to perfectly fit the person who was received them. I want to study biomedical engineering because I would like to learn more about regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

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.

I have enrolled and plan on attending the University of Oklahoma. I intend to study at the college of engineering and specifically in the field of biomedical engineering. I have been drawn toward the medical field my entire life and have been interested in being a physical therapist or doctor. As of late, being very included to upper-level math and oddly enough enjoying these classes I’ve been introduced the field of engineering. Naturally, I was drawn toward biomedical engineering as it peaked my interest in both fields that I have a passion for. Going into my senior year I was fairly sure Biomed was the path I wanted to take, but my AP environmental science teacher made me sure of myself. She recruited me to join her school sponsored “Invent

While some parents may have told their kids to eat their spinach to grow strong like Popeye, my parents emphasised creativity; I grew up on a steady diet of innovation. When my parents batted away my persuasive arguments to get a cell phone, I created a contraption to strap my laptop to my chest so I could listen to music. In a burst of desperation fueled inspiration, I’ve used a straw instead of a valve to pump air into my bike tires. Currently, I’m using big data to design a methodology to identify the ideal number of independently occurring words inside a novel.

My 4-letter code is INTJ, Introvert (19%), Intuitive (3%), Thinking (31%), and Judging (9%). The name for this code is “The Scientist”. It says that many INTJs end up in engineering or scientific fields. I am planning on going into some form engineering field. I agree with the introvert statement, I prefer to spend time just working on my own projects than being around people constantly. The personality page said that INTJs tend to lean to the sciences and engineering fields, and I am looking into getting an electronic engineering degree once I finish my CINT degree. So, overall this test seems fairly accurate.

Ever since elementary school I have always been interested in science and math. They were always the subjects that came easiest to me, and as a result, I enjoyed them the most. I am often the person that my peers will come to for help, or the student my teachers expect to make the highest grades. Recently I have been exposed to more uses and applications for the subjects I love. Now that I am able to see where I can utilize my knowledge, I believe I have found my calling for the medical field. More specifically, I am especially intrigued by the new field of biomedical engineering where engineers can create synthetic devices that replace damaged or diseased tissues and organs. As I grow older I am sure my interests will change, but only

I was cloudy regarding what I wanted to do in college. It is hard to wrap around the fact that choosing a major will affect how
