My admiration and respect for the profession of medicine developed at the age of 8‚ due to a close encounter with death. I was admitted in a hospital due to an extremely low and rapidly deteriorating blood platelet count. At first the doctors provided me with a treatment that should have treated 90% of the cases‚ but they didn’t have any effect on me‚ and with the time running out quickly they resorted to the next best treatment. If this treatment didn’t work‚ I was only left one other option and

My High School Experience Everyone has heard or been told‚ “high school is what you make of it.” High school is in fact what you make of it‚ but it is also the time of great change in everybody. They say HIGH SCHOOL is the best part of growing up and being a teenager. It is where we can experience things‚ which we thought we can never make or do. It is where we discover and learn things in our own and it is where we learn to become independent. In my four years of studying here‚ I discovered

Jennifer S. Life Changing Experience The most life changing experience that I have come across during my seventeen years of life has to be about the time I had my first trip to New York City. This trip was the most significant in my life because it was my first time out of state‚ on an airplane‚ and not with my parents on in one holiday.
