Medical Field Application Research Paper

I believe my love for science and the medical field has been passed down to me from my Dad. Some see him as a quirky, introverted, physics major, but to me he is the person who taught me to question both the known and the unknown, and appreciate the complex yet beautiful world we live in. I have never been good at math without having to work extremely hard at it, and the seemingly scattered rules of grammar can frustrate me. The one thing I know for sure is my desire to understand how we humans work both on a mental and physiological level.

Through out my years as a student, I must recognize my flaws and build on them in order to succeed. Some of the prerequisites needed for the pre-med major do not excite me. Chemistry and physics are not my strongest area of study. I have come to terms with the fact that I will struggle in some of these classes, but I aim to enjoy my suffering.
