Introduction to a Girl Who's Not Really Sure

Let's start with a short introduction to who I am as a student. I am in my second year of college studying to obtain a degree in Chemistry and Biochemistry, pre-med with a minor in biology. I didn't always want a chemistry major though. After finishing high school, I felt out of place. Most of the people around me loved chemistry while I just did it because I had to. I felt as if I should try and like it but no matter how hard I tried, at the time I couldn’t imagine myself studying chemistry. I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to do. Due to that, I started my freshman year of college with an undecided major. After taking the Intro to Zoology course for non-majors, I found myself falling in love with biology which was odd to me since I was always more of a math oriented type of gal. So I decided to declare my major as Biology. However that plan fell through quickly after taking the second biology course. I came to once again realize that I enjoy things that are concrete, hence why my favorite subject was always math. So with that being said, I gave chemistry a shot. To my surprise I loved it. I found myself actually clicking with the concepts and eagerly looking forward to learning more. I actually did well in my courses and I truly felt as if this was what I wanted to study. So that was the short, yet not so short, introduction of how I chose the major that I have today.

Now for an introduction of who I am as a person. I lived in Edmond for the majority of my life but moved to the Moore public school district halfway through my freshman year of high school. We moved so that I could be closer to OU.

I often times think about what I want to be in the future and although I have an idea of what I would want, I’m not sure if I have the determination to follow through with it. I would love to be a pediatrician. I am very fond of children and I would like for my job to lie within the medical field so I felt as if that was my best option. That is my practical goal. Moving along the more impractical side, I would love to be a person who makes YouTube videos. I really enjoy watching and doing makeup and if I could be reassured that I would do well in that career, I would most definitely take the chance. Maybe in the future when I’m at the point where I am stable, I will try to pursue that as a hobby.

In my free time, I love to play with my dog, Tigger. He's a 5 year old Siberian husky. He always knows how to cheer me up whenever I'm feeling down. I love him so much and I couldn't imagine life without him. I also love to watch Korean dramas aka k dramas. I can literally sit there for over 7 hours just watching them. I watched my first one in senior year of high school and the amount of dramas I've watched has skyrocketed. I highly recommend them if you're really into cute romance. It'll take awhile to get used to reading subtitles while watching the drama but trust me, it's worth it.

Moving onto summer break:

Most of the time I'll start my semester off with saying that this summer wasn't long enough, but that wasn't the case this time. I felt as if I spent my summer wisely and although summer could always be longer, I wasn't regretful of what I didn't do. This summer I once again volunteered at St. Anthony’s hospital with my brother. There I helped in the pathology department where I got to see all sorts of interesting things not limited to: a finger, a dead body, and an eighty pound leg (yes just the leg alone). In the afternoons I would help in the “Joyful Beginnings”  department which was where the newborn babies were located. Our family also took a camping trip this summer in Wichita Mountains. Although I would have preferred going when it was much cooler, it was still a memorable experience for my family and I.
