Hey you guys ! This is so incredibly urgent because this essay is actually due in a couple of hours. I would deeply appreciate any help I can get with anything I need to alter or brush up on or any of your view in general. Please be harsh ! Also, I really don't think the ending is that great so any suggestions will be highly welcome ! Thank-you for your time in advance !! (:

As humans we crave interaction. But how can our relationships with our fellow human beings blossom if we are, not only in both our physical and mental best but are socially, culturally and economically aware of the world around us?
In winter 2010 approximately 2000 students from around the Middle East and Asia flowed into Qatar Academy for the annual Qatar Model United Nations in winter'10. To me, QMUN was an unforgettable first glimpse of the world of diplomats (albeit role-played) investigating international issues. Perhaps it was the realization that we set down our beliefs to represent those different from our own, but as I sat there listening to the delegate of the UK address member states about eradicating feminization of poverty and transplant tourism, I felt an electrifying sense of acceptance that I was part of a world-wide community bound by a passion for sovereign equality, bridging the gap between social classes, developing symbiotic relations between nations and working together to diminish disease, poverty and illiteracy in the world. The fact that my peers and I devoted hours of research to obtain policies for the issues at hand illustrated that the future generation, my generation, fully understood that behind the façade of language, cultural barriers, national conflicts and tensions we are all the same.
In addition to my love of politics I have, for as long as I can remember, been fascinated by the life sciences. How can one adore two things that are believed to be on opposite ends of the spectrum? I do. Due to having lived in the same city for the majority of my upbringing and having a mother who worked at the local medical center my initial interests were naturally and inevitably tailored towards a career in medicine. My mother and her colleagues' dedication to their professions and their hard work made me curious as to what medicine has to offer and predictably growing up, I spent hours at the center listening in to any snippets of information I could analyse; persuasively arguing my way into witnessing Transesophageal and adenosine/sestamibi stress echocardiograms among other things.
I grew up wanting to be a doctor, then changed course and wanted to be a politician. Up until summer'12 I struggled to accept that in order to purse one of my dreams I would have to forgo the other; then I learnt about the Human Biology, Health and Society major offered at Cornell University. Granted I will not graduate as either a doctor or a politician but I will graduate as someone better: someone who understands that our health problems are not just mental or physical; someone who really wants to make a difference in the world and is now armed with the vital education required for one to do just that. From out-reach programs that will enable gathering first-hand what is truly affecting citizens to the world class research programs offering platforms to mentally engage like never before: this is the major for me.
