Diabetes is a disease that can be devastating to some families, but it is not that bad as it seems. With the correct amount of exercise and moderation, it can be maintained with several different methods. A large part of the United States population has a form of diabetes. Today, there are many treatments that improve the lives of those living with this disease. With the correct understanding, it can be manageable and change the lives of the diabetic and his/her family. Some people may think of this as a bad thing for children to have but with the proper management and exercise, it can be maintained as well as bring a family closer to one another. As a brother of a type 1 diabetic, I know how hard it is to live with it and how to

One might ask himself why any society comes to fall. With set laws and regulations regarding what and who is right and wrong, a society should remain stable. The problem is that this system only functions properly when all citizens of the society follow the same set of regulations. When citizens are held under or hold themselves under different standards, the system is upset, such was the case in Animal Farm. After the rebellion, the animals agreed on a set of seven rules to collectively follow going forward.

Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born on August 9, 1993 in Newark, NJ. Houston began singing at 8 , at her family's catholic church. At the age of 12 , she was already singing back up vocal for big stars such as Chaka and Lou Rowls. When she was 17 she added modeling into her array of talents by staring in magazines like “glamour” and “seventeen” . But afterward Houston decided to go back to singing because she found modeling “degrading”.At a showcase performance in 1983, Arista Records president Clive Davis heard Houston perform. Davis offered her a management contract which Houston accepted. She then began seriously singing alone and with her mother in bigger setting. Though they performed together, Houston said that she thought her mother was

I chose to major in biochemistry because it combined my interests in biology and chemistry, and the courses required for the major offered me many perspectives on examining life. Although I knew when entering college that I wanted to be a physician, I wanted to look into how a physician fit to the rest of society and whom they interacted with. I partially achieved this by volunteering and shadowing at California Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) in downtown Los Angeles, California, where I have been in the surgery, labor and delivery, emergency, trauma, admission, pediatrics and radiology departments. I was able to gain more perspectives on how a physician interacted with other healthcare providers in a hospital setting. I will continue to volunteer at CHMC at least once a week throughout the 2017-2018 academic year.

I am writing on behalf of Laura Rezac. Laura Rezac was a phenomenal student in my Advanced Human Physiology 1 class, and went on to take Advanced Human Physiology II, the elective Physiology class that I had the pleasure of teaching – both classes she received an outstanding grade. Laura is a diligent, hard-working, and inquisitive student who consistently strove to further her educational development. Whether it was asking critical questions, further researching physiological topics, or attentively working on the group lab projects, there was never a question that Laura did not love to learn and further her education.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in physics in 2009 in Vietnam while I witnessed two deaths of my two 65 years old uncles due to medical related errors. Their unnecessary deaths at that relatively young age struck all my family members. I asked myself whether, if someone in my family had worked in the health care field, it might have been possible to save my uncles’ lives. As a science major student in Vietnam, I felt an urge to apply scientific knowledge to improve the situation. Over time, I came to realize that, in order to make a difference, I would need to gain a deeper background in understanding the mechanisms and the principles behind the field of medicine, a pharmacy major.

It became clear to me in the summer of my junior year of high school that I wanted to pursue the science of biochemistry. It came to me in the wake of my grandmother having a stroke. Being raised by my single mom, my grandmother was always there to help, and we had developed a strong bond. That night I watched as the doctors and nurses worked together to keep my grandmother from dying from internal hemorrhaging. They used strange machines that I had never heard of before, buzzing around every few minutes to check on her.

Sincerely, I commend the hard work of people involved in the insulin discovery. It has really helped to manage the lives of patients with diabetes. I like the way Garrett’s dad motivated him to not see himself as a sick person but as a strong and healthy young man. This alone I believe gave him hope and encouraged him. As a parents, it is very important that we keep our children safe and protected at all times. They went through a lot to make sure they did not have any complications as far as maintaining blood glucose was concerned. They also stated the need to have an inter-professional team to deal with chronic and complex case such as diabetes. I recall the issue of Garrett’s dad calling in for a syringe order from the physician, this could

As a result of the opportunities and experiences that I have had, both directly and indirectly related to medicine, I have never been more certain that this is the right course for me to study. My eyes were opened into the complexity of the human body when I began studying A Level Biology. It continues to amaze me that there is a complex network of biological and biochemical mechanisms, in a state of constant electrical and chemical activity, that work round the clock to ensure that the body can function. This, combined with my love for chemistry, inspired me to undertake work experience in a biochemical lab, as I thoroughly enjoy expanding my understanding of science. My confidence flourished as I used logical thinking and problem solving skills to assist PhD

“I no longer considered myself a person with diabetes; I was a diabetic…the disease was all that I was.” Those are the words that I chose to describe the vortex that this disease had pulled me into as I relayed my story to a reporter in 2002. Why was I inclined to expose that which I had kept hidden from friends, family and business associates for so long? It was because my reality had changed dramatically due to groundbreaking Canadian research and I now had the energy to help people understand the desperation that diabetes can cast upon a family and offer a glimpse into the freedom that scientific investigation could someday provide to everyone. In 2002 I became one of the initial group of 35 research recipients to take part in human

Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, or IDDM, is something that I have always had an interest and passion for. At the age of twelve, I was diagnosed with IDDM. At that time, my life changed drastically. I went from being what I considered to be a “normal” twelve year old to “different". The things that I have done and learned throughout the course of my life with diabetes, has allowed me to better relate to my patients and help them out during their time of illness. I am blessed and thankful that I am in the healthcare field and able to comfort my patients the way that I am.

Mothers often wonder what the effects of the chemicals that are present in everyday products like plastic and aluminum, and inside of things like cleaning products and the meat we eat, and how it may hurt their families. No matter what product one may use, there seems to be no escaping the dark cloud of dangerous chemicals associated with it. Dana Nachman and Don Hardy, directors of the The Human Experiment, released in October of 2013, try to find the correlation between chemicals humans are exposed to in almost any product and the harmful long-term effects it has, as well as try to push “green” products that are free of these harmful chemicals. The directors adopt a very anxious tone, due to the fact that these chemicals are affecting millions of people everyday. Nachman and Hardy begin building their argument citing convincing facts and statistics and appealing to pathos as well as logos by showing real accounts of stories from outside sources, as well as a strong negative diction directed toward the industries producing with harmful chemicals.

The decision toward medicine has been reinforced with courses and academic experiences that have developed inside my dreams an intimate curiosity of passion about human health and rights. Courses as Physiological Psychology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Biochemistry, opened paths in my life to internalize about how physiology affects human behavior, how our body works, and how drugs and food affect our body at molecular level. This academic compendium, bring me the knowledge
