About Me

My name is Jeremy Jordan Gavaranna. I live in, and have spent the vast majority of my life living in, Dinwiddie, Germiston.

I currently hold no formal titles. I attended a public primary school and was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to attend a private high school. I have about 6 months worth of experience working in retail. I worked at a pharmacy and got to learn many things including how to work as a cashier, how to take stock and restock shelves as well as gaining some experience with understanding schedule 1 & 2 medications. I'm a very curious person. I like to explore many different things at once, whether it be in terms of hobbies or just a topic that I'd like to learn more about. I'm also play a few instruments and this has helped with my level of coordination and allows me to disconnect from the world when things become a bit too overwhelming. My motivation for medicine lies in that I love helping others and being able to see that I actually made a difference in someone else's life. It gives me such a fulfilling feeling knowing that I was able to contribute to someone else's success and that I can actually make an impact in the world.

I attended Horizon International High school. Some subjects that I took which could greatly help in my future endeavours include Life Science, Computer Applications Technology and Physical Sciences. Life Science is a vital subject to take when planning to enter the health care sector. It gives you a baseline understanding of the workings of living organisms and a brief introduction into how to properly conduct research projects. Computer Applications Technology was useful to me because it gave me a deeper understanding for how to use the most commonly used software. This is important as our world is rapidly shifting towards a fully digital era. Physical Sciences taught me about the fundamental laws that govern our reality. This was not only very fascinating to learn but is also very important information to have as a doctor. Many of the principles taught in Physics and Chemistry can be applied to help my future patients (eg. Fluid laws when providing a drip, or chemical knowledge when prescribing medication.
