Why I Want To Pursue My Cow

Improved Essays
When I was younger, I saw the most beautiful cow downtown. Considering I live in Houston, TX, the fourth largest city in the United States, there’s not much room for livestock to roam around free. But this seemingly displaced cow was absolutely vibrant and alluring. Its hide was ornamented with a myriad of colors that formed a picturesque mural. I used to dream about the cow and always wondered where exactly I first saw it and when I would have the chance to gaze upon it again. When I came for my volunteer orientation, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The dazzling cow belonged to the outdoor decor of Texas Children’s Hospital in the Texas Medical Center, the institution I have fallen in love with from my numerous volunteer assignments to throwing themed parties every month for the patients. But as much as I love children and working at the hospital, my passion for medicine encompasses all aspects of my skills and interests. To work as a pediatric hospitalist or surgeon at Texas Children’s Hospital is my …show more content…
He spent the summer working with The Health Museum, and coordinated the Summer Youth Volunteer Program. With so many opportunities available, I also look forward to possibly being accepted as a Health Science Scholar in the College of Natural Sciences Honors Program. I’m roused for the chance to begin research through the program, as well as the Freshman Research Initiative I was introduced to on Longhorn Monday. Lastly, I want to be a part of the Black Women in Science and Engineering student group that creates a support network of black women across the Cockrell School of Engineering and the College of Natural Science. The University of Texas plays a huge part in my future in medicine and science, and I can’t wait to start on the journey to success and innovation to improve the health of our population and be involved intimately with my

    Summary Of Involve A Cow

    One passage in Involve a Cow that was particularly striking was the story of the chlorine banquet where older students attempted to put chlorine into the banquet hall where the freshmen were located, but instead piped into the kitchen killing a cook, Henrietta Jackson. The story is written in a very mundane way. The author appears to attempt to downplay the severity of this incident by the way he tells it. The purpose of this is to perhaps pass this crime as a “prank.” This prank takes place near the beginning of Kronman’s second epoch in the name of secular humanism.…

    The Villages Hospital; During a few of my spring breaks and holiday breaks, I volunteered at the Villages Hospital and Nursing home. I worked under a nurse practitioner and my responsibilities included transporting patients, delivering lab reports, and most of all helping the patients feel comfortable. This experience was so beneficial because other than surgical observations and physician shadowing this gave me another experience in a clinical setting. I am very thankful I was able to spend my holiday breaks gaining clinical…

    Furthermore, as a leader, I stepped up to the plate and created my own program called “Heart Camp Survivor” that ran the whole week. Running this project allowed me to work with many doctors and nurses side-by-side whom I had never noticed attended camp before. In addition, as I was working with the staff, I learned many things about hospital careers that I never knew before. The wisdom I gained from the employees of Dr. Bill Neches Heart Camp for Kids about nursing highly influenced my decision to study the field in…

    Thus, I enrolled in a volunteering program at Greenwich Hospital in order to not only encounter a doctor’s working environment, but also to serve the patients who are a member of my community in Greenwich. In the hospital my job can range from sorting and arranging hundreds of mails, escorting patients, helping with maintaining hygiene, to sending flowers to the patients. According to my supervisor and the volunteers’ website, there are approximately a total of 700 volunteers who the staff believe to be the unsound heros of the hospital. Due to the number of volunteers, the staff assign us to different sections of the hospital within which assigning to be an escorter is one of my favorite as it allows me to encounter patients and doctors from different departments. Gradually from observation and conversation with many of the doctors in the hospital and some of my father’s friends I perceived the drudgery, the stress, the paper works, the coordination, the management skills that are necessary for surviving in this field after having endured the hardship of medical school.…

    I was lying asleep on a cot at 6AM when suddenly a “cabin” of four children were jumping all over me, excited to start yet another day at Camp Dragonfly Forest. I have had the best job in the world for the previous two summers, working at a nonprofit camp for kids with specific medical needs. Every week is something different, ranging from developmental disorders like 22Q chromosomal disorder and autism, to physical disorders like persistent asthma, sickle cell anemia, and hemophilia. Camp Dragonfly Forest levels the playing field for these kids and gives them the opportunity to have the same camp experience as “normal” children that they cannot have elsewhere. So for six weeks for the past two summers, I have been the goofiest, most energetic, oversized child for the sake of getting kids to feel comfortable away from home.…

    On the second floor of the Humane Society of North Texas in Fort Worth, Peggy Brown’s office is one of the many squared off offices. Taking a peek into her working space, you can tell it’s one of character; piles and piles of HSNT pamphlets, education material, and brochures for donors cover the floor and shelves. Photos and drawings of furry friends are pinned through the petite room while Brown, HSNT’s community outreach coordinator, is busy gathering material for upcoming events. It’s the humane society’s 111 anniversary this year and Brown has been with the organization for 13 of those celebrations. But Brown’s love for helping animals began at a young age and has since grown from there.…

    When it came to who I would interview, I searched for someone who has actively made an impact on my life, and in turn also impacted all those that attend Health Sciences High middle college. As the chief Education Officer and President of our school, he whom I interviewed is a man of many qualities. As said by himself, “I have many labels that describe me and who I am and my culture, but first and foremost I identify as a member of the human race and a Pumpian.” If you couldn’t tell already Dr. Pumpian can be a comedian, but he is also a dedicated educator. At a young age he already knew that he liked being with and working with people, something that helped kickstart his passion to open a school.…

    1) Briefly describe your exposure to medicine As the daughter of a pediatrician, the medical field has surrounded me my entire life. However, my familiarity with the details of medicine expanded at age 15 when I began to volunteer at the C.A.R.E. Clinic, which provides medical care for the uninsured. My internship at a medical examiner’s office exposed me to the anatomy and physiology of the human body and the medical causes of death. In college, I explored medicine by volunteering in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital and Clinics of Minnesota in St. Paul and participated in a Global Medical Brigades trip to rural Honduras.…

    Hospitals, often times when people ponder being in a hospital, visiting a hospital, or even when watching movies or television shows that involve hospitals, most people would agree that for the majority of the time, they aren’t in an enjoyable, blissful place. Unless, of course, referring to the exception of welcoming a baby into this world, however, even the arrival of babies bring some hospital rooms’ sadness and heartache. My job requires me to stand as the observer, the staff member that helps make anything better, even if all I can ensure is to try and help my patients smile. Early Sunday morning as I prepared for my shift at the nearby hospital, I was able to take the opportunity to participate in a naturalistic observation.…
