The career I have decided to pursue is biomedical engineering. This specific field has always fascinated me due to its blend of technical and medical care.  I have always been intrigued towards the medicine rehelm in healthcare .  I would like go into the cancer research part to further studies of the sickness.  I found biomedical engineering as a field where I could make a noticeable difference in my community. 

To better my academic level, I have taken rigouros corces  to give me insight with my major.  Within math, I have taken  Geometry, Algebra 1 and 2, Pre-Calculus,  and currently enrolled in Ap Calculus AB.  A major part in my major is science to help I have taken  Biology, Chemistry, and now in Ap Biology.  Throughout the classes, I have learned a diverse skill set. My knowledge in math has grown greatly to benefit me in my on-going career. Teamwork is a crucial skill in succeeding in my field of choice, and these several classes have taught me just that.

I have been Class of 2028 President for my entire duration in high school. This role has taught me strong leadership, and the importance of being a good role model. I am part of the CHOICE club to help better my community with fundraisers, and community service hours. I am the Class of ‘28 representative in my school’s Student Government Association who has taught me that having organized structures can benefit the well-being of my school. I am also Co-Captain of my school’s leadership club. This club has benefited me as a person by showing me the true meaning of integrity. In addition, I am part of  Principal Advisory Council (P.A.C) to benefit my school.  To help the younger grades, I joined my schools BEST Club. This involves being a freshamn metor and helping them become more comfortable in high school.  I have played volleyball, basketball, and softball throughout my high school career. All three have taught me discipline, and commitment to my dream. Outside of my school, I am part of the St. Mary’s Association of Student Councils. This society is the head voice for all Student Governments in my country. Being a part of this association has made me stronger, and more outgoing to help others. I have also played travel softball my entire life. The sport has really grown my teamwork skills and communication with my peers. I have become a hardworking and devoted person to achieving my goals. 

I plan to take several APs in my high school career to benefit me towards college. My goal is to receive credit for my prerequisites in high school, so after graduation I am able to go straight to university. The career pathway I have chosen is rarely offered at any community college. This action has led me towards a four-year university to pursue my degree. My overall goal is to obtain my bachelors in my first 4 years at university.  Afterwards, I plan to go to graduate chool to obtation my PhD in biomedical  engineering. 

After achieving my goal of becoming a biomdeical engineer I would like to give back to my home community. I plan to get involved with cancer research . My hope is  help people in need with such a deadly sickness. I would like to make a large difference in my community within the medical. I plan to contribute positively to my community by creating a system that helps get rid of cancer. Making a difference in the world is a high goal for me in my career. This moral is important to me because I want to give back to my society after everything it has shown me in my academic journey.
