TOPIC Why did I chose to pursue Medical Laboratory Technology as my programme of study.
My reflection:
From the age of five years, when I was asked by my pre-school teacher “What will you like to be when you grow up?” without any hesitation I said “I will like to be a doctor”. Ever since my career choice remain within the medical field. While on the journey of becoming a pediatrician, I visited a science exposition held at the General Hospital. It was from that day forward, my love for laboratory work developed. A young lady mentioned various career choices within the laboratory, but in her field she was required to test blood and other various bodily fluids. At the end of the exposition, she gave my classmates and I a few of the containers in which blood was drawn as mini “souvenirs” since the substance in each which kept the blood good until it was time to use had expired. I excitedly did research that said afternoon and discovered where I can pursue my new career choice of becoming a Medical Laboratory Technician.
Why Was This Artefact Chosen?
This activity was chosen specifically to serve as a reminder to myself of my major aim on my path to becoming a medical laboratory technician. I can simply return to this portion of my portfolio on days when I feel like giving up.
