Ever since my grandmother got sick, I have known that I want to go into a profession within the medical field. I had the opportunity of seeing the difference good healthcare workers make in the care and recovery of their patients, and I believe that I will be able to thrive within this career field. 

After understanding my passion for helping people, I knew I wanted to take all of the biomedical coursework that my high school had to offer to better prepare me for a profession in healthcare. Within these classes, including The Principles of Biomedical Science, Human Body Systems, Medical Interventions, Biomedical Innovation, Anatomy, and Physiology, I had a teacher who not only made learning about biomedical sciences fun and exciting, but also mentored me into finding career paths that I would not only enjoy, but would thrive in. By hearing her talk about the ins and outs of healthcare and being taught how the body has the ability to heal itself with natural treatments, I was encouraged to go into the medical field to become a physician assistant, focusing on holistic healing. I understand that within this setting, I will be able to counsel patients and find the root of the problem, rather than just prescribing medication to alleviate symptoms which may cause secondary issues. I plan to make a difference within the healthcare setting and within the lives of my patients because of the guidance and knowledge from the individual pictured on the right.
