High School Career - Original Writing

I started writing fiction in elementary school, and never looked back. Tucked away among old report cards and craft projects, my mother still has the multicolored notebook containing my first short story, written when I was in first grade. (It's a treat. I may share it here at some point.) So, when I say that writing in ingrained in me, that it's part of who I am, I mean it.

Think about your experiences of writing at college. Which types of assignments have you found helpful in strengthening your writing skills? Where do you want to improve your writing? What’s the most useful advice you’re received that’s helped you improve your writing. Be as specific as possible.

The field of bioprinting, using 3D printing technology for producing live cells with extreme accuracy, could be the answer to many of the problems we as humans face in the medical field. It could be the end to organ waiting lists and an alternative for organ transplants. In 3D printing technology lies the potential to replace the testing of new drugs on animals. However, the idea of applying 3 dimensional printing to the health industry is still quite new and yet to have a major impact. Manufacturing working 3D organs remains an enormous challenge, but in theory could solve major issues present today.

It may be the easiest thing to say that becuase I am from Spain, I should not be by any means a better writer than an American born student writer. In many aspects of life, I shouldn't, but as least as I like to compare myself to others, I may say that throughout my four years of English learning my growth has been exponential. Becoming a well rounded writer is arduous to achieve, however every writer including high school writers, usually have some skills within writing that they are good at. In my personal case, knowing that I didn't start writing until I was fourteen years old, I would say that I am pretty good at writing entertaining compositions, and in occasions, if my grammar is correct as well as being no run-ons, my essays can even

In a study conducted through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on “average 79 people will receive an organ each day; however, an average of 22 people die each day” waiting for transplants that cannot take place because of the shortage of donated organs (U.S. D.H.H.S). The average amount of patients waiting for an organ can reduce to zero with the continued development of 3-D printers. 3-D printing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The digital file is uploaded onto a computer software, and then the 3-D printer prints the digital file out onto different materials. The materials include plastic, resin, nylon, sandstone. The finish products become replicas of the digital file, and what was an idea is now a reality. Therefore, 3-D printers will one day be the future of organ transplants because over the past twenty years the technology industry has rapidly grown into the focal point in society. From advancement in communication, to the medical field, science and technology has shaped this world today. Thus, the American Government should invest more money into the medical field budget because the research conducted on new technology (3-D Printers) leads to more lives saved, and expands the opportunity of future medical breakthroughs.

My middle school writing career was a long and lengthy process with a bunch of struggles. I started writing in elementary school but did not really get into it until 8th Grade. When I really started to enjoy it I developed my writing style. Some of my strengths are/were writing my paper with little mistakes once I got a general idea. Also becoming fluent in typing was another plus. But there were areas that needed growth. One major place is that I have a lot of trouble getting my thoughts down on paper and I fall behind at least 3 days at the minimum. I also about half the time pick an organizer or an organizing method and I struggle with it so I fall behind even more.

Doctors and engineers have been working on another way to get organs a faster and more efficient way. Using 3D printers can help with their problem. They have worked on using a 3D printer to make organs that are a perfect match for patients. This can be very useful it can get an organ ready in a short amount of time helping the patient recovery faster as well. Organ transplants are hard to come by. One you have to be put in a waiting list, and people are usually on that list for a long while, just waiting for a perfect match to come. But sometimes it takes to long and some people die while still on the waiting list. But when an organ finally does come they feel bad because someone had to die in order for them to use it. So Dr Ali Khademhosseini is trying to use 3D printing to help solve this problem. His theory is he can make organs from a 3D printer, which can make the waiting list decrease faster and have people not have to die in order for a perfect match. 3D printers have been used to make Human cells, tissue, and blood vessels. But making something like a heart is much more difficult. Because you have to make the beating and pumps. (Mesley). There have been problems in the past that have just know started to show in some people. "Viruses aren't the only worry, and here too the past may serve as a guide. In 1956 injections of human growth hormone became a standard therapy for children failing to develop properly. The hormone was extracted from

In the past, the only way to replace diminished cells, tissues, and organs was from organ transplantation. An organ donor was needed, and the tissues would be surgically removed from the donated body and placed into the recipient. Due to the current research being conducted, it is believed that tissue engineering and organ printing can contribute to the process of improving and saving lives.

One way that technology is saving lives in my generation is by 3-D printing. This printing process has helped surgeons save the lives of their patients. In 2012 one team of surgeons located in Ann Arbor, Michigan successfully 3-D printed an artificial airway splint that saved the life of a three-month-old baby whom had lost the ability to breathe.

My career goal is to be a successful fiction author and to publish over two full series. I’ve chosen this career because I’ve already started writing and I love it. I think that I’d be good at writing because I’m really creative and I love to read, then scribble down whatever pops into my head. I’m always in the middle of writing something and my finger hitting the computer keys is not an uncommon sound. This makes me assume that I’d be good at writing as a career.

While in high school for most people, they don’t understand how important certain things may be for their future. Writing is very important for students in high school because it will forever be a part of their everyday life. No matter what career path a person choose, writing will be involved in some sort of way. Writing skills are important for high school students because it prepares them for college, creates professional writing, and helps them be successful after high school. With proper writing skills a lot more doors will open up, and more opportunities.

What exactly does the future of bioprinting have in store for this world? One could never be too sure. Despite the fact that artificial organs seem alien to a profuse amount of people, its current state in development justifies that bioprinted organs have the potentiality to do great things to those in

In the article “The next frontier in 3-D printing: Human organs” written by Brandon Griggs, published by CNN on April 5, 2014, Griggs explains how the new technology in 3-D printing is progressing from printing “toys to jewelry to food” and now, still developing, human organs. Although it seems positive to patients who are waiting and in need of organs, there are still some heated discussions as to the responsibility of producing and guaranteeing quality the artificial organs. Another

With the very limited supply of organs, 3D printing creates functioning organs without a donation from a living organism. The definition of 3D printing from Charles W. Hull, the inventor of 3D systems, states that “...thin layers of a material that can be cured with ultraviolet light were sequentially printed in layers to form a solid 3D structure” (Murphy & Atala 773). The sheer narrow sheets play a vital role in bioprinting. They allow the printers to develop functional, layering individual cells, proteins, and an extracellular matrix. The three basic types of 3D printing include biomimicry, independent self- assembly, and miniature tissue blocks. The creation of the 3D structure creates all the difference between these types of printing. Three dimensional structure approaches include, creating exact duplicates of the cells and tissues with extensive knowledge, using a developing embryo as a template or using microscopic tissues to assemble into a larger developed tissue (Kalaskar). In other words, all these paths to bioprinting end up with a 3D structure but require different knowledge and materials. They all contain their own sets of challenges.

The researchers realized that a human organ is a 3-D object with width, height, and depth that could be manufactured the same way car parts could (Harris, n.d.). There were multiple limitations to make a 3-D printer capable of producing human tissue or organs. A few restrictions were to find another material besides plastic that would last inside of a human and to make a machine that was capable of printing living human tissue without destroying the cells in the process.
