Mahalia is a highly motivated, and mature student. Since little, she has always been an organized and reliable student. All throughout her school years, Mahalia has been very focused on her school work. In 9th grade, Mahalia decided that she was not being challenged enough in her science curriculum. Therefore, she requested her science curriculum to be focused more on human anatomy and medical science. Thus, with my help, Mahalia and I sought out the best human anatomy and medical homeschool curriculum we could find. Therefore, that is why she has Medical terminology, Anatomy, and Anatomy, Physiology, and Disease, as a few of her science credits. For the whole time that I have taught Mahalia, she has always proved herself to be a highly motivated student. Likewise, she has always been greatly interested in medical science. For this reason, I encouraged her to keep up with her studies in science. Since she has such an interest in medicine, Mahalia decided that she wants to become a doctor. Therefore, she has taken on the hard task of trying to go to medical school to become a doctor. While Mahalia excels in science, she also has many other talents. Such as, her natural talent in art. She was so skilled at art that she was accepted into the Fine Arts Center …show more content…
While there, she said she learned so much about what doctors do, and how amazing their jobs were. At one point of her volunteering at Greenville memorial hospital, Mahalia volunteered for 16 hours a week. Also, Mahalia has volunteered at the Greenville Humane Society, helping to work with rambunctious puppies and kittens. Another program that Mahalia joined is the AHEC health career club, which she attends once a month. At this club, Mahalia learns about all of the diverse careers in health care, does practice quizzes on medical terminology, and learns about different medical
Alhashim has very wisely utilized her time after graduation to gain exposure to the medical field, and have deemed to be prepared for the rigors of medical school based on her experience as a medical scribe and outstanding achievements during her undergraduate studies. Dhoha graduated as magna cum laude from Bowie State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology and Chemistry, demonstrating her thorough understanding of the sciences. I am certain that Ms. Alhashim will be a great asset to your incoming class. To conclude, I would like to restate my strong recommendation for Dhoha Alhashim, as detailed above and based on my experience working with her, I can without any hesitations recommend Dhoha Alhashim into your incoming
Since we teach students from diverse backgrounds, I hope to gain insight on the understanding of the general population regarding the various topics in medicine, which will enable me to not only to educate these students regarding any false information or gaps in information they may have, but also learn of the common misconceptions in our community, so that I may be able to effectively educate my patients and their families in the future. All in all, I look forward to investing my time and talents in the mini-med program that aims to provide medical education to the next generation of citizens in our
The Latin American culture about what happens in public. The author from the reading “Caudillaje Civilization’s Rational Virtues” makes very interesting points about Latin American Culture, these points that that I find to be quite true. In the reading he gives a scenario about two men meeting each other in public and embrace each other, but in real life they actually hated each other to an exponential level. The way that they acted in public was because of the Latin American culture, everything is public. They all have to make it seem as though their lives are perfect, and everything is going well. “ Latin Americans pay careful attention to the norms of social etiquette, correct dress, and proper speech.” (97).
I had the pleasure of meeting Kaylin this fall semester in my Anatomy and Physiology course. She is a high school student attending Wright State University to advance her education. She has successfully completed the first semester of a two-semester sequence in which she plans to finish the second part of the course next semester starting in January. Anatomy and physiology is a rigorous course and requires a great deal of face time in lecture and the lab. One attribute that has impressed me is that Kaylin is doing better than nearly 75% of her peers which are older and one would think better prepared.
Our vision for these lessons was to give the middle schoolers a candid perspective on the medical field, letting them know not just the benefits of becoming a doctor, but also the trials and tribulations they must undego. Furthermore, we wanted them to explore anatomy and medical procedures hands-on, rather than through books or videos. They were to learn how to suture on meshes that accurately simulated real skin, perform CPR on mannequins that gave real time feedback, measure and chart vitals of their partners, and cut into and explore organ specimens that reflected the structure of their human
Devika has faced many obstacles in her path to becoming a surgeon.Failing the second semester was one of her biggest failures which caused a delay to reach
Since high school I was mesmerized by the mystery of the human body. I always wanted to study the structure of the smallest cells. Nevertheless, my admiration for the noble work of doctors in helping people and relieving the suffering of others was one of my primary reasons for wanting to pursue a career in medicine. Being born in a family that has always encouraged utilizing our inherent gifts to the fullest extent, I have excelled in every academic venture I have undertaken. My ambition to become a competent physician culminated when I was selected in the top 200 among a 100,000 applicants to attend the best medical school in my country, the University of Khartoum. Oliver Twist always asks for
Medicine has been a part of my life since as far as I could remember. The interest in this field sparked me at the moment of first experiences with the settings of a simple doctor’s office. Everything and anything that has to do with some sort of science always tends to attract my curiosity. In the seventeen years of my existence, although there is still more to learn, I believe the experiences and activities I have participated in make me a good candidate to become a successful general
Since my unsuccessful attempt to gain entrance to medical school medical school I have taken upon myself to strengthen all aspects of myself that could have, in any way, been viewed as inadequate to the decision boards of medical school admissions offices. I started this quest by changing the location of my residence and enrolling myself in one of the most respected higher learning institutions in the nation, The George Washington University located in Washington, District of Columbia. Here I have been pursing my passion for medicine, in a preparatory capacity, studying Anatomical and Translational Sciences.
Anatomy and Physiology courses are dense with terminology. Students struggle learning the vocabulary in addition to linking structure and function, explaining concepts, and making broader connections. To help facilitate understanding, instructors often turn to classroom activities that promote active learning. (Michael 2006, Lujan 2006, Jensen 2015)
Dr. Lauren Wendt always had a great passion since childhood for science and education. Lauren’s passion in science and education begun when she was young and continued throughout as she became a swimming teacher, followed by teaching children and then finally tutoring younger peers. Due to this passion, Lauren after graduating high school in 2000, went onto studying Bachelors of Physiotherapy in 2001. Nevertheless, after the completion of her 1st year in bachelor of physiotherapy, she thought it was not her real passion. Her real passion was science and education both combined together like a double helix strand. Henceforth, she followed her passion and went onto doing a dual degree of Bachelors in Exercise Science and Bachelors in Secondary
Hezekiah, unlike his father, took it upon himself to ask God for a sign during this time of preparation for a possible Assyrian invasion (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). In Isaiah chapter 36 we find that Sennacherib threatens Hezekiah and the people of the city stating that God can not save them from this invasion that had been ordered for them by the King of Assyria (Isaiah 36:15 King James Version). It was then that Hezekiah went to the temple and prayed the most humbling pray asking God to save them. God sent word that would ensure Hezekiah and the city of Jerusalem would be safe from the enemy as he had plans for Assyria.
Before beginning my university career, I imagined, with astonishment, the amount of knowledge and mysteries that housed the medical field. Soon, I realized that the knowledge of medicine was beyond my imagination, thus, increasing my admiration for the complexity of the human body. During my second year of medical school, I was fortunate to take pathophysiology with one of the most brilliant internists in my university. The subject left me fascinated, since it integrated the knowledge of the basic sciences in understanding the mechanisms of diseases. In the end, I wanted to continue being involved in the discipline, so I joined the Department of Physiology. I revised my previous courses and became a laboratory instructor of Physiology and Pathophysiology. This decision was decisive in my training because I discovered aspects of medicine that awoken my interest the most – basic sciences, analysis of clinical cases, suggestive diagnoses, treatment plans, and teaching activities. These interests were consolidated
During Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle brings forth an argument on what every person should aim to achieve in life. Aristotle argues that in every action that people do should aim to achieve happiness and a flourishing in life. (Nicomachean Ethics, 1097a-b). Through life’s activities, one should aim to always look at the highest good of flourishing and keeping that in mind while carrying out their life activities and choosing the activities in life will benefit them the most. In his writing, Aristotle specifically gives one definitions of happiness, “Happiness is a certain sort of activity of the soul in accord with complete virtue” (1102a)
I, Gabriella Fontinelle, was born and raised on the wonderful island of St. Lucia, Helen of the West, where I attained my best attributes of being diligent, generous, dynamic and confident. I have always dreamed of one day becoming a medical doctor and I aim greatly to achieve such. The memories of growing up in St.Lucia are indeed some of my best, from primary school recess times to secondary school sports activities. After successfully completing primary school, I was accepted into one of the St.Lucia’s four Comprehensive Secondary Schools (Vieux- Fort Comprehensive Secondary School). After completing three years at the Secondary, I choose to continue my two remaining years completing the science stream. The science stream consisted of subjects
