My Passion For Science

My passion out of hundreds of careers in the U.S is to pursue a career in Nursing. I choose this career because l believes in the change that Nurse brings to help make the world a better place. To fully comprehend the changes Nurses are creating in our society today and why I ‘am passionate about been part of the revolution, one has to look at the role they play in enhancing healthcare service. Nurses play an essential role as the first line of defense for health wellness and information. In addition steeping into someone’s life at their lowest moment and making a difference to their overall experience is an incredible privilege. Mahatma Gandi once said, "the best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others. Hopeless

My love for sports and a strong thirst for knowledge is how I’ve lived my life to this point. At a young age, I began playing football and that sparked my competitive nature which has carried over to my academic life. Playing sports has not only sparked my competitive nature but also formed my leadership skills. Parents and teachers have told me numerous times that I am a great role model and younger kids look up to me;

My passion is to tell people that Muslims are not terrorist. ISIS doesn’t have religion, and they don't know anything about Islam because Islam is the religion of peace not war. There were lots of attacks that they did, and the recent one was the Paris attack. I want to start off by expressing my deepest sympathies to all the people in France. Any act of violence against innocent people is an act of violence against all innocent people.

There are a variety of things that I love and that I love to do, but I only have one true passion; that passion is with animals. Not only do I love animals in general, but I also love caring for and working with them. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a pet present in my life. I like to think that for that reason it is why I love animals as much as I do. For the most part, animals are friendly and can be like a friend when you need one. Animals are also incredibly cute, which is kind of a lame point to make, but it is still is an important part as to why I feel such compassion towards animals. As a child, I always had a special spot in my heart for animals. I can recall as far back as my first cat, Casper, who was like a best friend for my young self. He would let me play with him, he was gentle, and he was very friendly. He fell ill at an old age and I would wipe his drool and brush his knotty fur because it was hard for him to care for himself. My interest in the veterinary medicine most likely comes from this experience. Now I have two more cats, Phoebe and Luna, and one dog, Kasey. I like to think I have a great connection with all three, but I have an especially strong bond with my youngest cat, Luna. When I picked out Luna as a kitten at the shelter, I could see that we immediately had a connection. She was a very feral kitten and would not let anyone get close to her, let alone touch her, but she let me pet her. It was in that moment that I knew that

Athletics is one of my main interests. I’m always striving to improve my athletic ability (I’m doing a training plan over the summer), and enjoy watching many sports. Athletics is interesting, because it involves two very different things. Obviously, there is the ability side (Strength, Endurance, etc.). But there is also the emotional side to things. You train to push yourself, to just keep going, to not put things off and to never give up. These aspects of athletics can be applied to many parts of life and teach life lessons. This is one of the main reasons I love sports and athletics in general, because it teaches you so much. Some of my athletic accomplishments and teams I’ve made are here: grade 4-5 - Worthington P.S. track team (3rd in 800m and 5th in 400m), grade 6-7 - Davis Cross Country Team (42nd 1st year, 21st 2nd year), various runs/races 1km-5km, 12-present - Brampton Baseball House League (1st in Heart Lake Division) and age 7-present - Brampton Hockey Rep A/AA (4th place Brantford Tournament, many other tournaments > quarter

My true passion for engineering began when I came across the quote: "Technology are devices that make our lives better". Despite my first love of mathematics, my recent interest for engineering has come from two major influences. The first being my mathematics and physics teachers, both engineers by nature, who have helped me enhance the fundamental skills essential for engineering and embrace the importance of the field. The second being the learning about uses of technology in Computer Science, it taught me the magnitude of which technology contributes to our everyday lives has led me to intensify my desire to improve the lives of others.

From day to day, I live trying to figure out my purpose of being in this world. No child is born a mistake irrespective of the circumstances. I was born with a talent, although, yet to be discovered. A talent is a symbol of who a person really is. When I was younger, my dad put me through music school hoping that I would learn to play the piano because he wished he did when he was my age. I was not a big fan of playing the piano so I struggled most of the time. My fingers were so stiff and my instructor would request that I moisturize and massage them to make them more flexible. However, the underlying issue was my lack of interest and not my un-cooperating fingers.

Throughout my 14 years of life, I have always been a musical child. At a very early age, I was exposed to all different genres and artists, from Gwen Stefani to AC/DC. I easily fell in love with music, enjoying it and learning it. Although I have always adored music and have been shy to express that to other people, in the past few years I have been more open to sharing my talent and my passion for it, with other people.

“People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.” Zig Ziglar I was honestly about to quit dance and drop everything, I had lost passion for everything, till I heard the amazing new from Dr.Kirkland That was a real life changing moment, This was such a life changing moment. This was such a boost in my life… it opened my eyes and my passion for dance started to come back. I think from this is sometimes a person needs a little push in their life to start up the engine that has extinguished and start doing what you love. Everyone tried to push me and say “ why are you quitting? You’re such an amazing dancer!” or “ Don’t quit now… You have done so much” but that never really pushed me to continue to dance… It just made me think harder and ponder about my choices in quitting dance, but what pushed me the most was when Dr.Kirkland had said “ My dance instructor told me that you don't meet your students at the bottom… you make your students meet you to your high expectations.” That really pushed me and made me strive to meet Dr.Kirkland's high expectations and made me keep dancing.

When the word “math” is brought up in a conversation a majority of people cringe, it’s the hard truth. Math has been around since the dawn of man, and it is used in almost every career field. According to Merrilyn Goos, math “provides the fundamentals for everyday living” and is “a skill needed for many jobs” (2016). I, myself, have always had a passion for math ever since I was in grade school. I began to find math interesting when I could start applying it to various subjects in the real world, such as distance, area, volume, and velocity, to name a few. I decided to pursue mathematics in college, but I added a vital part to it, teaching. In high school, I was lucky enough to tutor my fellow peers through a National Honor Society program. When tutoring students from various grades, classes, and ethnicities, I found my passion for teaching. Believe it or not, I really enjoyed the students that struggled immensely with a subject. Nothing was better than witnessing the “light-bulb moment” when the subject finally clicked for one of these struggling students. Currently, in college my decided majors are Secondary Math Education B.S. and Mathematics B.A.

I constantly hold a grudge and accused others for my decisions in life. After visiting a counselor, I found the root of all my anger. At a very young age, I fell in love with sports. I started playing basketball because my mom was really good at it so I thought maybe I could be good in it as well. My mother was a single parent of three and could not afford extra-curricular activities.

Music is the most important thing in life. Or at least it is to mine. I play the violin along with a couple other instruments I taught myself. I went to the Denver School of the Arts for high school to play in their orchestra. I plan on studying music in college. Almost everything I do is connected to music, but it was fairly recently when I first started becoming really devoted to music. There are many kids who are born being an amazing musicians, but my passion for music had to be grown over time.

I am very passionate about everything I do in my life. Whether it’s academics, sports, reading, or any topic I might be into. But specifically, there are several things that define me in my life that is my compassion towards innocent animals, volleyball, and my family. Life is short and for the time I’m here I intend on making the best out of it for not only myself, but for others.

Writing helped me understand the ideas that were swirling around in my head and gave them substance. I often use writing to settle the rage within myself no matter the topic I always stay true to writing with internal purpose. Writing something down on paper is much easier for me, it’s as though my hand leads my thoughts. It’s wonderful to escape, and through writing, I get that feeling. If it were not for me taking speech and being given the assignment to write about something that affected my life, I would have never found my passion for writing.
