Science and the human body has always intrigued me. The human body and the extent that it has for many miraculous processes which occur simultaneously simply caught my attention. This belief and enthusiasm originally led me into the field of Pharmacy. Eventually though, I gradually realised that it was honestly not the career path for me to follow. Although I relished and thoroughly enjoyed my studies of the subject, I found that my personality and the practice of the theoretical knowledge of the subject did not suit. Honestly I found the field of pharmacy to be more emotionless than I had first anticipated. Of course, my heartfelt interest in science and the human body has not subsided, in fact it has matured – but in a different direction to the first field I had interest in. I then instantly sought to find out what would really match my skills, persona and passion. It was actually a conversation with my grandmother’s doctor who is an audiologist that led me to the conclusion that the field of audiology was the perfect career for me. That conversation suggested everything I needed to know about becoming an audiologist and what it means to help people in need. I was suggested to research the field in a little more depth to actually learn what audiology is all about, but just observing the audiologist at work put everything into perspective. Incredibly I found the field of audiology more and more interesting and it occurred to me that audiology was closely suited to my personal skills.
