T Brain Bee Contest: A Short Story

Neurology is one of the most unexplored fields in medicine; however, more recently there has been a spike in the amount of research being done in this specialty. This is because people are becoming more interested in neuroscience, including myself. I attended a pre-medical vocational high school, which exposed me to a greater amount of knowledge pertaining to the basics of anatomy and physiology, along with hands-on opportunities in a medical setting. It was here where I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine; however, due to the fact medical field is very broad, I had no set specialty. This changed when I was exposed to the cruel manifestations of Parkinson’s Disease. During, sophomore year of high school, my grandfather passed away due to complications of Parkinson’s Disease. The way that a neurodegenerative disease was able to overtake a person in the manner that it did was shocking, and while it brought me great grief initially, it later intrigued me. I took up an interest in neuroscience and began to do my own research which culminated in various projects and applications throughout the remainder of my time in high school. These experiences have culminated in my decision to work toward a Cell Biology and

The process to enter this group starts with getting access to the Center for Neuroscience building. The door is always locked and only members of the community have access, granted by the PIs, to enter. This observation reveals how selective the community is. Once inside, the building resembled a maze with identical walls decorated with posters. The 40” by 60” posters are an example of a genre employed by this community (Artifact 1). Every wall is covered in colorful posters with published scientific work from members of the community. As I walked to Dr. Gray’s office, the posters in the perimeter only had work from his laboratory. The same trend appeared for other labs. This suggests that the laboratories have designated spaces where they can highlight their contribution to the overall goals of the CN. The posters serve as a method of communication among the members since they can easily read each other’s works and provide

National Beta Club is a society of gifted individuals with an array of talents and passions, this esteemed organization has held a deep meaning in the hearts and minds of all contributors. Such as within myself, not only have a felt I have grown in my education but also as a person. Being in this program has given me the resources and the family based team it deemed necessary to develop my skills into what they are today, and with those that I have learned I continue to advance. With these miraculously progressing achievements, and much more Beta Club will succeed to be the base of others education.

“When groups are planned so that each member's strengths have authentic importance to the ultimate success of the group's activity, this creates a situation where individual learning styles, skills, and talents are valued, and students shine in their fortes and learn from each other in the areas where they are not as expert.”(Willis)

The brain is one of the most fascinating organs of the body because it is the control center of the body. In 2009 my older sister suffered from a brain hemorrhage and I was shocked to see her hooked up to so many machines. However, it is a miracle that she has recovered almost 100 percent and from then on, I developed a passion for learning more about the brain. By attending SNP, I hope to gain insight on the decision making process and exactly what occurs in the brain that makes each of us who we are. In addition, the program will widen my perspective on neuroscience and allow me to learn more that will set me on a more focused path to achieve my goal of becoming a medical professional in the future. I believe that SNP will not only provide

This past year, I have been apart of Naperville Central’s brand new Special Spaces club. When my friend approached me and asked me to join, I agreed even though I had no clue what I was involving myself in. In retrospective, I can honestly say that becoming a part of Special Spaces has been one of the most meaningful, fun, and fulfilling experiences I have had in high school.

The beginning of the chapter two included a section that discussed the dilemma of trying to introduce what is learned in the classroom in the work place. I recently just experience the difficultly of trying to utilize material I am currently learning in my EDPH 502 Individual Learning Differences course, at my fieldwork site. I tried to give feedback to my supervisor of how to improve the Puente program and was given a practical response of the program lacking the resources and a full time staff to monitor sections of the program can be improved at the moment. Collaboration was another topic in Chapter two that connected to me at my current employment as a Student Program Advisor for the USC Trio Educational Talent Search (ETS) Program. Ardoin (2014) mentions how an individual has to be patient when searching for a collaborative project. At the moment I am working on assignments that were given to me, but it was only a few months ago that I was asked to collaborate with other colleagues of mine on a project. The inclusion of being asked to assist with a group project allowed my opinion matter and

I have always been a firm believer in self-exploration and diversification. Though I started my medical career in Pakistan, I moved to US to learn and experience the medical distinction. I started appreciating the value of evidence-based medicine and best practice guidelines in the western medicine. I always desired to be a critical care physician. I got chance to learn and experience Neurocritical Care for the first time at UNM. This experience facilitated my special interest in Neuroscience. Recently, I completed my basic training in Neurology and am one step closer to my fundamental goal of getting the best available training in Neurocritical

The American Association of Neuroscience Nurses is a codependent unit whose members endeavor toward a common purpose of achieving stated goals (Cook, 2016).

From this club I’ve learned people assemble and assisting each other on a project, can be very refreshing. Our club works together, getting certain things accomplished. However; all of us learn the same thing at the same time. I’ve also learned you don’t have to be rewarded for every good thing you do in life, sometimes the most rewarding things are just doing it in the first place. And I participating in theaters and know that I am a helpful person when it comes to helping people remembering their lines. And also I worked at the church café and learned my leadership skills there as well I have also applied it everywhere I go.

It's one thing to be a part of a well-established or even a nationally recognized club, but it's a whole other world to start a club with nothing but an idea and your fellow classmates. I personally had to recruit members, design posters and school announcements in both English and Spanish, and plan meetings, which can be very overwhelming as I didn't have anyone to give me guidance. However, despite all of the difficulties, it's made me realize that this is something I would like to attempt again in college.

Honey bees have been dying due to diseases and poor nutrition. Also the pesticides that farmers put on their crops add to this problem. The problems started to happen when bees started to have poor nutrition and this caused them to get diseases. The bees started to die out and there were not enough to pollinate the flowers. It affects us in many ways too. “But for the past decade more bees have been vanishing.” by Lindsay Lowe, paragraph 8. The government is working on solutions to fix the honey bees problem. There are problems and solutions so now, let's talk about why honey bees are important.

Vanessa Johnson was not your average 9th grader, she considered herself way above average. She attends Princeton Prep High School, in Connecticut, and enjoys her daily life amongst her friends,not so much her family. She lives in a grand stone house, the most expensive in the neighborhood. She struts through the hallway, her long chocolate brown hair trails her as she walks. She calls herself the queen of the school, because she most definitely acts like she’s the queen. Vanessa doesn’t pay much attention to her family, and what truly matters to her is her reputation and popularity at school.

There was once a bee that lived in a house. It didn’t live in a hive like normal bees. It didn’t even have its wings (we will get to that later). It walked around like people, or as one could say people who walked like bees. The thing about this bee is that this bee suffered a horrible disorder. For he was shunned by his fellow bees. Not only the bees hated him he was also hated by all of the other insects. Specially the ants. They hated his stripes. No one knew why. Maybe they were jealous of his colours.
