Personal Narrative: My Interest In Genetic Engineering

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

Genetic Engineering is one of the current hot button topics of our world today and its also the fundamental theme in widely know novels such as Brave New World and My Sister’s Keeper. But what exactly is Genetic Engineering? What exactly does Genetic Engineering entail? Genetic Engineering in its self is a mammoth and board field, yet not many people actually know or even understand the diversity that Genetic Engineering entails.

The changing of Genetics has been around for awhile now, ever since the 20th century it is a set of beliefs and practice that aims at the improving the genetics quality of a human population . there was this mad scientist who stayed in a wooded house, that looked as if it was haunted , in the woods , he had been bullied all his life and once was even called “different and too ugly for society “, but when he got the head coaching job at YCHS every changed .

Even as a young girl, I have always been fascinated with how the world works and the gears that make everything flow in perfect harmony. Because of this, I have taken 7 credits worth of science courses during my high school years and have also participated in many extracurricular activities in the name of science. Other than science, history (specifically ancient and medieval) and music have been interesting academic subjects to my brain and heart. I enjoy lectures and learning about how the world has developed, both scientifically and socially. Due to specific events I have experienced throughout my life, my career goal is to become a geneticist to better understand genetic disorders and how I could possibly treat them. The anatomy and internal

With this degree combination, I plan on becoming a surgeon, but also develop state-of-the-art medical devices and treatments for my field. While primarily working as a surgeon, I would utilize the biomedical engineering background to determine the feasibility of hypothetical treatments and develop my own ideas. Biomedical engineers are often only involved in a single aspect of a patient's treatment, which may involve multiple treatments and lengthy recovery. A surgeon would be able to monitor the patient throughout the entire process to better determine what is physically possible for the patient to endure a new treatment. The combination of degrees would permit me to be more effective in determining what is possible and what is improbable for certain types of

A main reason I choose to major in biomedical engineering is because it focuses heavily on the subjects of biology and physics, both of which I find very interesting. I have always loved physics, so naturally I thought of going into careers paths where physics was a main aspect would be a good idea. I was also enthralled in astronomy back then, so I ultimately gravitated towards choosing a career in astrophysics. However, this changed in 11th grade when I took AP biology. This class sparked a new interest in me for biology and life in general. I became

I will want to know about my personal genetics if I have some potential diseases for an early prevention to reduce any risk of developing of them. In my father side, my grandmother, two uncles and two cousins had died of stomach cancer. Since I was a child I suffered digestive disorder, for that, I have the fear to develop this kind of cancer. Knowing more about my personal genetic analysis allow me to take preventive measures to improve my well-being such as, what kind of medicaments or diet I can make.

Two weeks ago I was shot by the villain named, Injector. he injects any serum through a bullet that gives you any sickness or powers. So he shot me with a power bullet, which was for his brother, that gave me super speed. Super speed has come in very handy, like getting to work on time and getting ready in the morning. But when I was shot i got sent to the hospital for care. a scientist, named Barry Allen, he took me to his lab which is named, S.T.A.R. laboratories. He had two other scientists, named Cisco and Katelyn, Both love science.

The experience I will get from the program is an inspirational and unexpected view of the continent that I may visit during the short period of time. This will connect also with the biomedical program I’m in it will show a way of aspect of helping others. Africa is an rich continent but so many people are poor and their governor failing to fight against corruption just like the state I live in Louisiana and its poor it’s in debt. It also connect with the knowledge African people have to start their own business to provide for their family and I want to invest in starting my own business so I will be working for myself and make how much money I want to make. We have education crisis that we in school but we learn so little while in school

Essay
 
As the world is becoming more and more populated we have to think of new ways to sustain life by possibly using cloning and genetic engineering. This text is going to examine how James Cameron and Nancy Farmer portray Cloning, Genetic Engineering and how sustainability is evident. Cloning and genetic engineering can both be used to sustain life on our planet but whether we can put behind us the ethical concerns relating to them in order to sustain life is another story. All three of these evident themes have a very similar underlying message in both of these examples.
 
Genetic engineering means the modification of of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. Both James Cameron and Nancy Farmer use some form of genetic engineering

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated with science. Microscopes and simple lab kits were my toys. When I began college, I had every intention of becoming a research scientist. I spent semesters in the lab at Clemson University, enjoying my work but not truly finding that spark. However, during a summer research internship at Carolinas Healthcare System, I came across the term genetic counselor. After doing some research, I realized this was the career I had been looking for all along. The combination of science, along with my desire to help people, seemed like a perfect fit. The next few school breaks I shadowed multiple genetic counselors in pediatrics and cancer. In those few days, I found my passion as I was excited to learn about genetic diseases and how to interact with patients. I felt this is where I belonged.

During high school, we were forced to look at different careers and fields of study weekly. I had known that the STEM field was most appropriate for me. I was all in on being an engineer of some sort, but after taking an engineering class, I quickly changed my mind. Then I thought about math and physics. I did very well in math and physics just applied those skills. However, I found them to be quite boring after a while. So, within the last year, I have been looking more seriously into chemistry of biology. Chemistry was my favorite high school

Astronauts, police officers, and professional athletes are just a few of my dream jobs from when I was a little squirt. Well, reality finally hit me and I realized that I’m about seven inches too tall to cram into a rocket and head of to the moon. Lets just face it, I sure as heck am not running around in a outfit with a badge protecting people. Professional athlete, well I just won’t start with that. Once reality actually hit I came up with an idea of having an interest in a future career as a fishery biologist. Ever since I caught my first fish years ago, I have just been full of questions about fish and how fish work. To this day I am amazed on how these wonderful creatures function their daily lives. Fish are able to take your hook

Being a shy person is really hard especial when I have to do speeches in front of the class. I don’t like talk in front of a group of people, especially in classes. When I do my face gets really red, and I tried to talk normally, but somehow words come out faster than I expected. I have to explain everything again, by first trying to talk slower, but then it again words come faster than I expected. This summer I join a program called Genesys Works. Genesys Works is a program that helps young high school students find a career and are given an opportunity to get an internship at a company. The summer training is to help prepare for getting ready to work in a professional place. During the Genesys Works Summer Training program, I have improved

With a degree in mechanical engineering, I hope to have a career in either the energy or the biomedical field. I am interested in the biomedical field because I have the potential to design and work with devices that can help people live or make their day to day life easier. This field is growing rapidly, so the career possibilities are numerous. On the other hand, I am very passionate about the energy field and finding clean energy that limits the negative effects on the
