<p>A Passionate Individuality
What is senioritis? In medical terminology any disease ending with itis means an inflammation. So, your senior is inflamed? I have never heard of such a disease. How can I let a simple disease control my passion? With my passion of learning, in general, and my intense passion in medicine, I do not think such a disease can ever affect me. I believe that success and happiness lies in passion--a passion so powerful that you have no doubt that it will fade.
I have always had an intense admiration of the sciences. The subjects of science and medicine are extremely bizarre and odd. I have this affinity for odd things. The reason for my odd interest in unusual things is directly related to the fact that I am myself an odd, unusual and unique being. I was told by my peers not to take two of the most rigorous science courses offered at Cranston High School West, chemistry and biology II-especially not concurrently with the toughest teachers. I immediately bypassed the advice and decided to challenge myself. An interest in medicine generally means an interest in science, and when you have pride and interest in the subjects that you take, knowledge and information will be a lot easier to absorb. No matter how difficult the classes get, they remain interesting which facilitates studying. As my passion for this field infinitely grows, I find myself searching for information beyond my studies in school.
I find myself reading medical books, watching medical documentaries and volunteering at a local free clinic. My fascination with medicine arises from my insatiable curiosity and desire for the field. Volunteering at the free clinic involves hands-on work that provides me with an excellent learning experience in medicine. At the free clinic, I have the opportunity to help people in need of healthcare, take blood pressure, fill in the data on multiple studies done with the patients, participate in the data analysis of those studies, and shadow a doctor who would gladly help me learn about a field for which I demonstrate an immense curiosity. On one occasion, a patient comes with a blistery rash. The doctor I shadow asked me a question on what may be causing the rash. I immediately responded: its the shingles, having seen my mother get it herself. The satisfying feeling of knowing the answer came to a halt, when the doctor asked me with what virus the disease is associated. I was not able to determine that it is associated with the Herpes Zoster virus. Overall, my experience was very fulfilling. I get to expand my knowledge base, help out people in need and satisfy my craving for medical knowledge.
The obsession and attraction I have with medicine is indescribable. My fascination is so strong and unique that I cannot have a profound conversation without linking the subject with something medically related. I cannot control my blissful chemical rush that results from medical conversation. My friends think that it is very abnormal that every conversation I join ends up linked with medicine. Although many people think that I know a great deal about health and medicine for my age, I still feel like I do not know anything. This leaves me wanting to learn as much as possible about this astounding field. Thus far, through my secondary education, I have only learned to crawl. I have far to go before I could start sprinting. I need to be able to walk, jog and then sprint. College is the next step. With my infinitely increasing knowledge in the field of medicine and science in general, I feel like a neophyte ready to intensify his medical knowledge and take on the medical world in a quest of healing and never ending medical discovery.</p>
