Biochemistry final paper
I think that one thing that attracted me to biochemistry was how essential it is to the growth and prosperity of human life. I chose to go into the field of biochemistry to further my education regarding medicine. Pharmacy is something that I have been interested in since I was a little girl, I knew that whatever career path I went into I wanted to help people. My dad encouraged me to attend a camp during the summer where I met with engineers, pharmacists and other doctors; and ever since then pharmacy has stuck with me. When I was about 10 my grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer. At the time, he was diagnosed, he had stage 4 lung cancer leaving him with no other options other than radiation and medicines to try and slow the spread of the cancer and limit the pain he had been experiencing. I was with him a majority of the time he was sick and saw the way different types of medicines affected him. I knew that there had to be some way that this awful disease could be stopped and the suffering it brings to the patients and their families can be ended, that someone will discover a cure to treat and prevent this deadly disease that also happens to be the leading cause of death among the cancer groups. I decided from then on that I wanted to do something to make a difference in people’s lives and try to prevent people from experiencing what my grandfather had to endure.
When learning about Biology in high school I really enjoyed the subject and
1. An understanding of chemistry is important for an understanding of biology because biology needs the models of chemistry to better describe life.
1. Define science – Science is the development of concepts about the natural world , often by using the scientific method
11. Define the following: Genetic drift: unpredictable fluctuations in allele frequencies, reduces genetic variation over time through such losses of alleles
From there, I began to explore more of what a career in pharmacy would mean and take the steps necessary to pursue my dream. As I reflect on the past and look forward, becoming a Doctor of Pharmacy is still the clear answer to achieving both my immediate and long-term goals. My immediate goal is to work towards additional education to be better equipped to utilize my undergraduate degree. In particular, I have a strong interest in applying my knowledge of biochemistry to the area of pharmacy in order to better understand how different medications work, how to help patients understand their medications, and how to solve problems to better care for patients. Ultimately, through achieving a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, I desire to develop a meaningful career that would allow for life-long learning and impacting lives.
Biology 102 introduces students to the concept of evolution, the principles of evolution, natural selection, and major kingdoms of living things organisms. My major is nursing and taking this course is a prerequisite and is required for my major. Taking Biology courses will help me be better knowledgeable in my chosen field. I took biology 101 last semester and we learned about cell and organisms. These are fundamentals things that someone who plans to have a career in the healthcare field needs to know. Also these courses are prerequisites for other science courses I have to take such as microbiology, human anatomy and physiology. As a future nurse these are information that will come in handy everyday. I have three years left in my undergraduate study and more

What a relief!!! Yesterday was our midterm exam and I am feeling great about it. I have not felt this way since last semester when I took a lower level genetics course after I already took the more advanced genetics course a semester prior. I am pretty sure I got an A on it (hopefully). I wish I could say the same about another midterm I had earlier this week. I just hope I passed that one. I could really use the good news. I was really surprised the test had nothing on the Leopold reading, which was my biggest concern because we never really discussed it in discussion section, so I didn’t know if I had the concepts right in my head. I hope we get a chance to discuss it before the final exam.
The career that I am interested in pursuing is a Pharmacists. The number one reason I have decided to become a pharmacist is because I want to help and assist others. The satisfaction of me helping a patient get better quickly is the motivation that drives me. The second reason is the act of working with other health care professionals. Pharmacist have to communicate with other professionals as a team to avoid errors. Communication and connection is a major key in today’s society, in which I like with a passion. The big career dream began when my older cousin sister became the first in the family to graduate from college with a college degree. Her getting a well-paying job and taking care of my aunt and uncle led me to work hard and achieve pharmacy just like her. HCC will help me pursue my goals by helping me get high grades and achieve a high GPA. By me getting an Associates in Science I would then transfer to a big university like University of Houston to continue for higher education.
