My students always love any activity that includes hands on involvement. (Feedback) The most successful part of this lesson was seeing my student’s work hard creating their own math problems and assessing their learning after reviewing their science packets. I knew that some of the things that they learned about hurricanes this week had increased their knowledge. If I had to change anything about this lesson, maybe it would be to reduce science packet from four pages to two pages. Lesson…
As I remember from the start of my early age days, I was fascinated by the concept of the biology, how the human body works, and how disease process takes over slowly and affect human body and how can we alter the development of disease, has always attracted me, so I choose my career to become doctor and serve humanity. Trying to help needy and poor people is always been my passion and medicine is one of the few profession where i can serve the humanity with my own hands. When i see my patients heeling because of my efforts and their best wishes and blessings at the time of discharge gives me sense of self proud and gratification. I feel privileged to be a part of this noble profession where i can accomplish all my dreams. I was in 2nd year…
These classes were what really sparked my interest in biology. Yeah, those are typical high school science experiments, but realizing that our bodies and the living organisms that surround us are so much more complex, it was just mind blowing to me. Mr. Gleave’s passion for science inspired me to want to keep seeking out more information on how things work and why something is the way it…
I know the road ahead will be long and difficult, but it will be worth it once I get to the end. I know teaching is my passion because I have talked about working with children since I was young. It is cliché, but I truly want to be able to make a difference in as many lives as I can. I have found comfort in the fact that even if I end up disliking teaching in the classroom, I know there are many other options out there for me. Museum education and government jobs with ODJFS are just two options of many that I could get into and still have a positive impact on many children’s lives.…
Being from Sierra Leone, also the events and outbreak of the Ebola virus in 2014 motivated me to pursue my dream and also heightened my passion for research. Having conversations with family members overseas, through the troubling times of the outbreak fueled my burning passion even more to get the highest level of education that I can obtain and serve mankind. Medicine’s ability to incorporate science into the healing process is another reason I was attracted to the field. Throughout my education, and, to some extent, my life, I’ve mostly pursued science-related ventures. Science has always been a big part of my life.…
In the first lesson, students compared graphs they created from a data set. It took about five minutes to do those graphs on Google Sheets, and everyone got (or should have gotten) the same graphs. If the graphs had been done on paper, there would have been so much more potential for students to get answers that were very incorrect. Tech helped so much with encouraging students’ understanding of the concepts. Not only is tech helpful, but so are hands-on experiences.…
Some of the most successful people in the world started at the bottom and through dedication and hard work they were able to be very successful. Organic chemistry is a starting point. It is something that we have to take to get where we want to be. So, while we are in the class, or lab, we need to be the best that we can. In addition to the philosophy of teaching that is part of this course, the organization creates an environment where we are pushed to use different ways to express the knowledge that we have…
Lastly, I chose this program because LECOM is encouraging the students to continue to research and educate themselves on their journey in medicine throughout. If I were to get accepted for the post-baccalaureate program at LECOM even though I may be lacking in GPA and other aspects I am aware that the program will be difficult and challenging, but will also be very rewarding and unforgettable experience. And with LECOM, I hope to succeed in becoming a physician that I always wanted to be and be part of the alumni network of the…
I wanted to thanks Dr. Adolphe, Soukaina and Ivys Fernández-Pastrana for teaching me so much over the course of the semester and that I am thrilled to continue working at EASE clinic next semester. My practicum experience at BMC has been very enjoyable and informative. I love what I do and the impact we are making on the lives of special needs children. The semester started of pretty rocky when I couldn’t find a site to work at due to poor communication from all the people I had initially emailed. I got pretty lucky with this site because a person I had emailed, who no longer worked at BMC, forwarded my contact info to the pediatric department at BMC.…
My pursuit of a career in medicine is rooted in my upbringing. At a very early age, I was encouraged to excel in academics and explore broadly my own interests. During high school, I became enthralled by genetics and human physiology. I still recall reading about the gene therapy for Severe combined Immunodeficiency syndrome (SCID) by viral vector. The science behind this therapy was captivating, and the feat achieved by scientists and physicians to make these discoveries amazed me.…
