I have always been interested in biology and knowing how our bodies work, so taking biology in high school helped me get closer to what I wanted to do at the university. Doing various activities and labs in this class helped me determine that I wanted to continue doing this and testing things over and over again, so I figured why not continue doing this after high school. I decided to pursue this path during my second year and focused on working in the scientific field. Every day I got closer to the career choice I wanted to make and until I knew I wanted to become a heart surgeon. This goal relates to all of my areas of my portfolio because I was able to use each aspect of the areas that were important to me and my learning to determine the educational and professional goal that I have set for myself.
