I am interested in the foreign, universal language of medical terminology and of the hands-on skills of assisting a doctor. I strongly feel the desire to gain the knowledge and skills to become part of their world. I vaguely remember sitting at my desk wondering what led me to the Health Sciences and Technology class.

Health Sciences just sounded like a good class. Besides, all the other freshman electives in high school didn’t catch my attention.

Moreover, working in a hospital was beneficial because I saw how medical professionals interacted with each other and their clients.…
