    For most of my childhood, I basically had my heart set on becoming a veterinarian, along with many other things. Some of the other careers I considered include a surgeon, a physical therapist, an oncologist, and not at all related to those, a photographer.

One reason I believe I should go into forensic pathology would be how I have always been interested in murders and other causes of death, especially how investigators and detectives determine how it happened. I have also always wanted to do something in the medical field.…
