I have always loved the human body. Even from an early age I found it interesting. I love how everything's connected, and figuring out how the brain operates everything. The body is an infinite source of knowledge. Senior year I had my heart set on taking anatomy. I was ready, eager to learn everything I possibly could about the body. But, I didn't get in. I was really mad at first; especially the fact that all my friends had got in. I wanted to learn. I looked on Amazon and paid for a copy of "Grey's Anatomy". I was so excited when it came that I immediately sat down and started reading. If I couldn't take anatomy, I was going to teach myself. I read that book cover to cover. It was incredibly fascinating! All the inter-workings of it, all the connections, I had never thought the body could be that cool. I ended up helping the anatomy students do their homework. I can't wait to take an anatomy class in college, for real. Reading that book has made me see that I really want to pursue this subject more in college and eventually fulfill my dreams of being a doctor.
Is this ok? I don't know. I'm at 201 words btw. Please feel free to edit! Thanks!
