Undergraduate / Science plus my faith is my equation for success: Considering your lifetime goals, discuss [4]
Considering your lifetime goals, discuss how your current and future academic and extracurricular activities might help you achieve your goals. PLEASE review and revise my essay, this is for ut austin. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Extracurricular activities are able to help a student assimilate their learned experience in the classroom with behaviors and applications that allow for synthesis of experience and concept. Because, of this phenomenon I am able to marry my experience in my science courses with my practical application in pursuing biomedical sciences in the future. Since my lifetime goal is changing the world through medicine, my extracurricular activities tend to reflect my preparation for entry into my chosen field of study, such as my challenging and exciting AP Biology , Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Microbiology, and AP Psychology courses. These particular subjects have been difficult and dense but also rewarding, and I find that my experience has yielded noteworthy.
The academic classes I mentioned, were all in all the most interesting classes I had in highschool, especially AP Biology, even though I did not get a great score on the AP test, that was a side addition to why I choose to take the course. Any "AP" course is daunting enough but a deeply concentrated class such as Biology was even more intimidating, but just as with every decision I've made in my life, I chose to join the class because I was passionate about it. Learning biology was like being transported to another world, where the nucleus was the moon, ribosomes made up the stars and Darwin was the king - it was that amazing -. And, it was through this alternate universe and along with the other science courses that my passion for science and medicine grew by leaps and bounds for previous to the accumulated knowledge I received academically, all I knew was that I yearned to be a doctor and change the world, but after, I not only knew I needed to be a doctor but I was able to begin to narrow what types of medicine really fascinated me and also the possible paths to explore in college in order to achieve my goals.
My love for science is evident not only in my academic courses in school but also through my extracurricular activities such as shadowing a dentist in her dental practice, and proctoring physics demonstrations for the international I-SWEEP. My hands on activities with science, have not only taught me about that body of knowledge, but has also given me a glimpse of what I could be doing in the future. They have also helped enlighten me on the little details and also the broadened factors that goes hand in hand with being a scientist. More specifically, my experience with the dentist was amazing, It allowed me to witness dentistry from a first-person perspective and also apply the text-book knowledge I possessed. I learned that medicine is not just being a doctor, that it covers a very wide variety of activities from building a lasting relationship with a patient to utilizing a dental handpiece to clean and shape a root canal. This was my first close up experience and I believe it has tremendously inspired my view of medicine and what it means to be in such a fruitful field, and also the different routes I could take as a future medical practitioner in changing the world.
Along with my academic courses and extracurricular activities, the most important activity I have and continue to participate in is those that surround my spiritual growth, of which I take part of in my church. My catholic faith in God is the frame to the picture that is my life, my goals, and dreams, it is what emboldens me to dream about being able to change the world, and propels me in all the academic courses I have partaken in, whether challenging or not, and given me the drive to believe that I will achieve all my lifetime goals successfully, all this through God. I cannot speak of fulfilling of my ambitions without one of the most important extracurricular activity of all, God, and that is because practically, with my work in the church working with leading the youth in building their faith through classes I have lead and organizing fundraising events for not only the children I teach, but for the general youth ministry, I have learned problem solving skills in regards to children and adults, ways to combat inefficiency and working to complete task in short periods of time successfully, how to build lasting and professional relationships with others, and finally, it has encouraged my devotion and perseverance to acquiring as much knowledge as possible of science and all it entails, and adhering to my motto of impacting the world not only through medicine but also love and compassion.
