Why I Want To Major In Biomedical Engineering

Growing up I seen my mom, aunts, uncles and grandfather struggle with the death of my grandmother. Everyday there was a new struggle whether it was getting up to go to work or eat. My grandmother died of breast cancer at the age of fifty two, it devastated my family. The question asked “Is why do I want to go into the medical field?” I want to go into the medical field because I want to be able to make a difference in this world. I want to do research to cure chronic diseases, I want to be able to tell a family that everything will be alright, and I want to be able to save a family the devastation that my family felt.

First of all I would like to be in the healthcare field because I would like to have the ability to help parents keep their children safe.I love children and I hate seeing them when they are sick. I would like to be able to help them live a healthier environment by helping them avoid illnesses and by helping them get over illnesses quickly. I would like to one day find a cure for an illness and save multiple children or

Thomas Edison -- the inventor of the light bulb -- failed 1,000 times before perfecting his design. Why should we raise a young person, a student no less, to a higher standard than America’s greatest inventor? The nation pushes people forward, telling each individual that they are not allowed to be unsuccessful. This causes a multitude of people unnecessary stress; there is no longer a “good enough,” one could always do better. However, one shouldn’t be required to always do better; according to Zinsser, we need to “take a hundred side trips . . . Faltering, drawing back, and starting again” in order to find our purpose. “Failure” isn’t a dreadful word -- it is a valuable one that holds no venom in its

There are many reasons why I want to become a phlebotomist. First of all, I have enjoyed my past experiences of working in the medical field as a CNA and USAF medical technician. As a CNA I mostly worked with the elderly. As a medical technician I worked all over the military hospitals to include the ER, Lab, and OB/GYN. I put my career on hold to raise my family. Now my children are of age and I decided it was time to get myself back to what I love, which is helping and caring for others.

When it came to choosing the profession for my research paper I eagerly choose biomedical sales. My father works in business development for a company that packages drugs. Because of this background and always hearing him tell me I would make a good salesperson helped show me down the right path as to my future career. But at the time I still wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. It was only until I went and interned under Dr. Jay Jansen, an orthopedic surgeon for Blue Ridge Bone and Joint did I figure out I wanted to be a biomedical salesman. I was able to observe many surgeries and learn much about the profession and other professions such as biomedical salesmen. I was fortunate enough to meet and have fruitful conversations with representatives

I did not find fulfillment with my education until I found architecture. Before then, I had always enjoyed studying art and design, but was encouraged to pursue a major that fit my parents more serious idea of education. This is why I spent my first year at North Carolina State University as an Exploratory Studies student, taking courses to try and enter the Biomedical Engineering major. Chasing a major that was not a good fit for my interests proved detrimental for me, as I lost focus over my school work and the courses proved difficult to keep up with. It was not until I had the opportunity to interview an architect working in downtown Raleigh that I came to the realization architecture was perfectly suited for me. The world of formative design and studio culture seemed like an education that was too good to be true. I was in disbelief over how the right career field had evaded me all these years. I took the opportunity to sit in on architecture classes and was sold.

My interest in biomedical engineering (BME) started when I started to learn about prosthetic legs. I was intrigued to learn that prosthetic legs existed and were being used for running and playing sports. After doing research, I discovered that engineers were the ones who improved prosthetic legs over time and designed them to perfectly fit the person who was received them. I want to study biomedical engineering because I would like to learn more about regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Officially, I am a second year student in the Integrated Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences program at McMaster University, specializing in Engineering Physics. More importantly, however, I am a problem solver who is able to come up with innovative solutions to complex problems, and who can help your company get out of a tunnel-vision mentality. The concept of Biomedical Engineering found my interest in its ability to unify my passion for helping people in need, with my skill of math and science. This became apparent through the impact medical devices have had on the lives of people close to me, as well as on myself.

I have always enjoyed fixing things. As a child, I found pleasure in helping my dad as he welded pieces of steel together, while doing body work on motor vehicles. The ability to see definitive results delights me. This sense of fulfillment summed up my time in the various surgery rotations. It was extremely rewarding to remove the appendix of a patient previously writhing in pain and see the genuinely thankful smile during a follow-up consultation, completely remove a cancer caught in its early stages or help a woman post-mastectomy to feel confident again after breast reconstruction surgery.

One of the crucial moments in my life was the decision I had to take; as to what I was going to do next in life. Having completed my Advanced Level in 2013, I realized that it was not the end of my career as a student. I needed strong academic foundation along with other soft skills to meet the challenges and survive in this commercial world as a successful individual. In view of these thoughts, I was unable to make a firm decision as to what my career direction would be. After a month or so of various discussions with my parents, friends and other learned people I was able to reason out the best choice for me.

It is often assumed that failure is a deterrent to achievement. Rather, failure should be seen as a motivator for a person to keep trying until the objective or aim of a particular mission is fulfilled.

Throughout my college education I have taken and will continue to take courses that relate to my Associate Degree in Science and my future career of being a biologist. I have chosen to become a biologist because I love to study life. To examine an organism in its natural habitat, amongst other habitats, is a way for me to examine a beautiful creation. Biology is also how and organism interacts with other organisms, how an organism behaves, and where the organism came from, amongst other concepts. One organism, in particular, never ceases to grow and increase. This organism is classified as Homo sapiens, in other words, a human. Humans are extremely complex and psychology provides further understanding of the human mind and how the mind affects the human body. The study of the human mind can also be applied to the study of the mind in different organisms which will have a positive influence on my chosen

My whole life I have always wanted to become a successful engineer, and graduate from the University of Cincinnati. Some of my goals in life are to go to the University of Cincinnati. Another one of my goals is to become some type of engineer. But as of right now I would like to be a aerospace engineer. To be honest I really don’t know what influenced me to want to become and engineer. But something about engineering always appealed to me for some reason. But lately my engineering teacher has had a positive impact on me and is really making me like engineering and the overall field. So I guess that Mr. Smith has influenced me into being an engineer. My plan b is to be an engineer too. But this type of engineering would just be easier to

I have my entire adulthood planned out. Wife, Kids, 4 dogs, a teacup pig, a shetland pony, and a chinchilla or an anaconda depending who wins the game of monopoly that we have been playing for a year. I want to have 2 kids, a boy and a girl. The dogs I want are 2 Grand Mastiffs and 2 Pit Bulls. I will have Large, Large, Medium, Medium. I want a shetland pony because they are the dog version of horses and I can strap a baby saddle to it and I won’t have to carry a baby around. Some say that that may be bad but i call it creative parenting. Oh I also want a teacup pig because they are so tiny and the baby will have a friend. When I get older I don’t want a job, I want a career. The career I want is to be a Biomedical Engineer when I grow up because I want to help people and to build things but mostly to help people.

I have always known the field of study I wanted to go into was the medical profession, but the challenge will be finding ways in which to afford the years of medical school I will need. My initial dream was that one day I could become a Cardiac Surgeon even though that dream is a lofty and extremely expensive one. I found I was most fascinated with cardiac surgery, perhaps due to the fact that my father underwent valve replacements when he was 17 years old. Later I realized that I wanted a career in which I can help others and make a difference in the world around me. Over the last few years I have been planning what steps I would have to take to achieve my goals. I realized that medical school is extremely expensive and that my family, do
