College Admissions Essay: A Career In My Life

Pursuing a career can take much more thought and work than can be expected; however the career that I would choose is brick lying. Although I had to give some thought and ponder on which way I want to go. I’ve come to the conclusion that brick laying the career for me , growing up and watching my uncle work as a Brick layer left me feeling like this wasn’t the job for me. The hard hat job came with long hard labor and many dirty clothes. Needless, to say I didn’t want anything to do with it. As I got older and seen the finish work, I became fascinated by the finished product and I knew right away that this was the career for me.

Now, as a senior in high school, I was given the opportunity to create a project to help my community in some way related to health sciences. I immediately formed a small team to organize a program to benefit my community educationally by giving middle schoolers the chance to explore medical careers and human anatomy, something I didn’t have the chance to do myself at that age.

Background: Every night as a kid, I would lay on my stomach with my mother on my flower-print bed, her reading the newest picture book to me from the batch we hand-picked every Sunday. Upon becoming capable of exploring literature independently, I selected more and more challenging books that introduced creative worlds to me, drawing me to the pages like a plant's kinesis towards sunlight. Later, I journeyed from the creative to the real through textbook reading. I gravitated towards mathematical and scientific principles that explained the world around and within me. They enthralled me, for I could apply these theories in everyday life, sometimes in small ways to improve lives.

For as long as I can remember I have always had an interest in the human body and how it functions. As a young girl, my mother noticed my interest in this and began to buy me human anatomy books. Since my mother worked in the medical field, she has inspired me and has encouraged me from the start. As I've gotten older, my love for the human anatomy has only grown. As a junior, I was able to take an anatomy and physiology class at Sanger High School. I was able to excel in that class with my prior knowledge and learned so much more. Along with anatomy, I took a Medical Terminology class. Both of these classes together greatly influenced me into choosing to major in Nursing. Taking the medical terminology class opened my eyes to see the many

I have always been fascinated with any topic relating to human health. As a child, I became obsessed with obscure diseases. I read anything I could find on health and freely shared my newfound knowledge with anyone who would listen, especially my mom. After reading “The Hot Zone,” at a 5th-grade summer camp, my family threatened to disown me if I would not stop describing hemorrhagic fevers and black bile during dinner.

When she walked into the room, she had a big smile on her face. She was Papaw’s favorite nurse. She smelled of vanilla bean lotion, had an a little bit of tang to her accent, and her hair was always in a tall bun. When she was done checking his vitals and had left the room Papaw turned to me, “She reminds me a lot of you. You could be a nurse you know, caring, observant, smart, and funny.” Ever since that moment I have taken every science class that introduces the life of human medicine to me. For example, I have taken human anatomy, biomedical sciences, and chemistry. I found that I am not only interested in, but good at science. The act of knowing is fascinating and rewarding for me. When someone is hurt, I feel that people always say “Go

One of my fondest passions is learning about the human body. I find the inner mechanisms of the human body to be extremely intriguing – the ability for so many intersecting faculties to form a cohesive, high-functioning organism is truly astounding. I am currently majoring in the Honours Behaviour, Cognition and Neuroscience program at the University of Windsor and throughout my time studying, I have developed a greater sense of not only the human brain, but the physiological and biological mechanisms involved throughout the entire body. I have been able to apply this knowledge throughout my experiences as a teaching assistant for multiple undergraduate courses. My role as a teaching assistant allows me to apply my knowledge of the human body

A long time ago I moved to Denton, Texas for school, attended Texas Woman's for 4 semesters than dropped out.

Since I can remember I have had a fascination in the biological field. From a young age, I have wanted pursue a career in the medical field because I have always have felt the need to try help everyone in my community. I have taken multiple science classes in the past, been part of multiple medical clubs, some part of the school, and another outside of school. The course that I took, and enjoyed the most out of all the courses that I have taken was during my junior year of my high school. That course was Anatomy, the study of the human body.The reason why I enjoyed taking this course was because it was the first time that I was exposed to the biological field. During this course, I was given the opportunity to dissect a cat.This was the greatest

Passion is necessary to excel. Once someone loses desire or motivation for something it becomes quite difficult to continue doing well in that field. I went through a crisis of lost motivation in my first two years of high school.

My greatest talent is I am very self motivated, and I never encourage myself to failing I always help myself to be better than ever. I am very skilled at helping myself do better on things I'm not good at, because I know things look difficult but are easy once it has been practiced. My greatest talent is designing on paper, I Had a really hard time drawing and designing a dress. I started with very basic ideas, then kept motivating myself, and knowing that everything takes time to reach it. Being around with students who had come with the same background as mine has taught me a lot of great skills such as being supportive. I had the ability to support students to be strong even when being in a country they do not know the language. Motivating

Throughout my years of high school, I have proven to be extremely hardworking. Since graduating eighth grade, I have worked endlessly to obtain money to support my schooling. My mother is a single mom, struggling to pay for my Catholic school education. I have continued to help to pay for some of the many expenses that come with my schooling. I will be paying entirely for my college tuition, which is what I have worked so hard for. My work experience and education have helped me to become the determined and hardworking person that I am today.

I was born in a dense, rural community where a strong emphasis in education was vital to appeal to American culture’s view of success. Children in my community were often tasked with the improbable duty of debunking the myth of the poverty cycle. To exacerbate my misery of such a soporific task being anchored from my shoulder, I would use written words to suffice those that fail to echo from my mouth. As a young girl, I was not interested in the literature of others; I choose to create my own literature through poetry, essays and a nonfiction book, which I failed to finish. Much of my childhood has been riddled with inner failure, but external success in my academics, which helped me graduate first in my high school class and win the Gates Millennium Scholarship. The temptation to give up was compelling, but that voice in my head pushed me to college.

However, rather than discouraging my love of reading with material I couldn't hope to understand at that age, my father had awoken an even deeper passion. I came to him with my books and demanded explanations for the words I did not know, and that demand for knowledge has not been assuaged since. Since then, I have been enamored with science, with its intricacies and the satisfaction which it brings through sheer understanding. There is nothing else like it, and it is my endeavor to continue learning until the day I die. Although my school does not offer true advanced or AP classes, I have chosen the most difficult science classes with the most infamous teachers I could. I’ve taken dual enrollment classes on computer sciences, medical terminology, and am scheduled to take a course on medical law and ethics next semester. Although all fields of science are fascinating, and I would happily study any of them for hours, anatomy and biology have always been of special interest to me. I plan to continue striving to understand the world around me, and to use that knowledge to improve the world in any way that I

Immediately following my new found desire to go into the field of medicine I began to study with great fervor, and according to my father, ‘poured my heart and soul ' into my books. Although I paid close attention to all my scientific course studies, biology in particular became my greatest interest. The more I continued to read about biology the more my thirst to understand the human body grew, which I discovered could not be quenched by reading books alone. I knew that it was critical for me to continue my education and pursue further training in medical school.
