#2 What Are You Passionate About?

Research or diagnosis is something I want to do. I do like learning about the proteins in the body and how it relates to our bodies function and metabolism. It could relate to the fact that I like a challenge in figuring out a problem. It can be very frustrating but at the same time, it is fun. After college it is unclear what I will be doing as a career. I have several career choices which includes research at NIH, or even a different country. Iam interested in medical missions or even going to a place in the US that is low in research or hospital labs. I would love to work with people and also beable to be in the science field. Being able to that would bring me great joy. I love interacting with people and not just help them medically but also beable to be a friend and supporter. Which is what medical missions entails. However, this might not be possible. I think working at NIH would also bring me joy. It is located near home and iam able to still be in my community. It would still give me the opportunity to work in the research/medical field but also still beable to have my community. I love being involved in my church, so Iam still able to help and mentor people. I guess I wouldn’t say I love my major or what im specifically doing. But I love how it gives me the opportunity to help other people. Not just by trying to create a cure or help heal people, but the ability to be a part of people’s lives. That is the part that gives me great joy in doing this major. Research demands other masters degrees but I wouldn’t mind going that route. I still have a year left to decide what I will do, but I know whatever I decide, it will atleast deal with people.
