This is what I have so far, let me know what ya'll think! Be honest! Thank you so much!
Growing up with severe asthma, inhalers became my best friend. For three years I was forced to use a respiratory Nebulizer to better dispense medication into my lungs. During this time, I did not fully comprehend what was happening to me. I was perplexed by how a small dose of medication could relieve so much pain. Overnight, my doctors became my heroes. I was certain that at one point of my life, I would be on the other side looking at my patient and relieving their pain. As I got older, this determination evolved to become my passion. Volunteering at hospitals reignited my already growing desire to learn more about science and how the smallest cell could impact the largest being. In continuing my path towards becoming a pulmonologist, I am confident that applying to Wiess School of Natural Science is one of the best decisions I could possibly make during my undergraduate career. Through this choice I will acquire more than just a degree in Biochemistry, but the opportunity to expand my studies due to a plethora of research opportunities and the exquisite learning environment offered at Rice.
