Scholarship / Women in Science and Engineering/ Educational and Career Goals [6]

Better?

Since childhood I always imagined myself with a worthy career and being a professional. Currently that desire has not changed. My biggest goal is to obtain a career where I can express my love for science and at the same time help people around the world. After considering career opportunities such as Psychology and Dance I realized my true passion was science. To be completely sure I decided to assist an internship program of science. During the program I did many tasks involving Biology, Chemistry, Engineering and many others. There I discovered my love for the laboratory and the study of microscopic organisms. Being in front of diverse organisms analyzing them was what I liked most. And also trying to understand the way they behaved was something that made me think more about their function and existence in the world. That's why I decided to major in Microbiology. I had many options to major but this one caught my attention. I founded this major perfectly for me. The classes were what I was looking for. I want to be related to the medical field and I know Medical Microbiology works with the study of diseases pathology and immunology. During my undergraduate years I want to work in all possible research because I know they will help me to gain the experience I need. After having gained all experience available such as laboratory assistant and internship programs I desire to enter medical school. Subsequently I want to make a concentration in Molecular Pathology. I have big expectations of my future and by this I mean I'd love to work for cancer research. Especially in the Karolinska Institute at Sweden, they are fully committed to lowering the number of people suffering from cancer and discovering how cancer forms. As I said before, I wish to help people using one of the things I love most, science. Research is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
