"I'm, sorry Madame, but you have Alzheimer's disease," carefully said the doctor. It was in 2000 when my grandmother had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. However, it was not until four years later when the disease had finally take an effect on her health and well being. However within those four years, my grandmother was treated differently socially, psychologically and even financially. It was as if her disease had "framed" her social standing and her position in society even though she was still the same healthy person. This event greatly intrigued me because the biological diagnosis from the doctor had led to decline of her social habilitation. Since that event, I have reworked my future goals, logic, and understanding of biology. I have researched numerous colleges in search of the major that best describes myself as well help me attain my future goal of being a physical therapist. I know that Cornell University's college of human ecology perspective is the perfect fit for me for it provides the major, "human biology, health, and society."
After this influential experience, I have started to notice and become more aware of the multiple aspects of human biology. Before the event, I viewed biology as a single perspective course of study, but with my experience of the event, my interest in human biology has been kindled and developed since. Starting my freshman year, I had joined my schools biology club, science Olympiad, and the science fair competition. These events had emphasized the significance of the physical aspect of medicine, but showed little and it was not until I had started volunteering at my local hospitals did I finally see the other side of medicine.
With over 100 hours of volunteer experience, I had developed a multi perspective view of medicine and have notice the crucial social science perspective of the. This can also be demonstrated through my experience at pinnacle health. Part of my job there was to hook up the health reading equipment such as heart monitors, and pressure cuffs.
My interning at that at hospital was important to developing my interest in the social science of human biology because it allowed me to experience the theology firsthand. By seeing patients having surgery as well as prepping for the surgery mad an influential impact to my interest too social science. Specifically, the patient's psychological state before the surgery could be altered through biological intervention as well as social intervention such as calming the patient before the surgery. By taking regard to the patient's psychological well being, the physical endoscopic aspect of the procedure had been less stressful on the doctor as well as the nurses around him.
Through observation of my grandmother's death as well as firsthand experience of my volunteer hours at my local hospitals, I know that the College of Human Ecology major is the perfect match for me for it demonstrates my interest in the inter connectivity between physical aspect of medicine as well as the social science behind it.
