Health Science Case Study

1) What are your personal goals and interests in pursuing a Health Sciences Career? At a very early age I was introduced to the medical field. I’ve grown up with a majority of my family working in health care. When I would hear family members talk about their days at work, I would soak in every word they said. During their conversations they would use medical terminology that I did not understand.

I have participated in many volunteering activities, and each one causes me to fall deeper in love with helping people. I have never felt such a deep happiness for something than the joy I feel when I make other people smile. I began volunteering at the zoo in sixth grade, and ever since then, I yearn for the opportunity to help people. I believe that going into health care will be the most fitting place for me. In the medical field I can help others and aid them in experiencing a happier and healthier life. Even if I help just one person, I have made a difference in the world.

I was, and still am very passionate in my curiosity of anything to do with health
