Intellectual History

The necessity of an education has always been stressed throughout my life. On my first day of kindergarten my parents warned me that if I didn't get good grades I wouldn't make it to college. The foundation that my parents laid that day has affected my life greatly. As I gained more secular knowledge of the world, I learned more about myself. My likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, and most importantly the benefits of a good work ethic. During high school I discovered that I am skilled with history and reading, but what truly fascinates me are life sciences, which is why I have chosen Physiology and Developmental Biology as my major. My favorite teacher in high school was named Mrs. Adamson and she instilled in me a passion for medicine.
Also, throughout high school I was heavily involved in service and decided that whatever career I chose it would affect the people around me. My goal this semester is to learn how to appropriately manage my time so that I may be successful in my pursuit of medicine

  1. Time management is definitely an important goal, but I would suggest doing something specific in order to be really successful with your goal, like writing in a planner or making a to do list. Good luck!
