What idea most challenges you?
Sitting in the operating room listening to the patient's heart beat, I ponder what it is like to be a doctor. How taxing it must be to know that even after years of college, medical school, and residency they will not be able to save every patient. I was simply immersed in life in the OR for two days and I all ready witnessed that while medicine is constantly changing, so are the diseases affecting the population. It is a alarming thought that as the doctor, the patient's livelihood lies in my hands, and they trust me to keep them safe. It is hard to grasp that even if I work my hardest to remove the entire tumor I may still have to leave some behind because it is too intertwined with an organ. Why is it that I can treat a condition to the best of my ability, but in the end, have to tell a patient there is nothing more I can do, but there is ongoing research on a treatment? Why is it that medical treatments will always be one step behind a new disease?
What should we know about you that we haven't yet learned?
I am shorter than the average female. Some of my best work has been produced while under an immense amount of stress. I hate procrastination, but I admit that I at times I fall victim to her charms. My backpack will probably always be an organized mess. I will probably spend my first day on campus in the library, scoping out the perfect nook. By the end of my four years, everyone will know exactly where to find me when I'm studying. I can be a complete kid at heart, but I know when it is time to be serious. I am more of a night person, but mornings are fine just the same. However, most of all, you should know that I want to be a Demon Deacon.
