SCIENCE

How the human body works has always been one of my favorite science topics. I have always seen the bone and muscle structure as art created by nature, which is why I made an art project about it (click here).
​
However, my interest in medicinal part started when I got an allergic reaction and my eyes swelled. I took an anti-inflammatory and within minutes I could feel them go back to normal, feeling as if a balloon was deflating and I was dying to know how this worked. I researched, found out, and kept of researching about similar topics.
​
To be able to do learn more about the topic and experimenting in this course to see if I would like to study medicine, I'm taking IB Biology (higher level) in 11th and 12th grade.

I grew up in a family where being healthy was extremely important. We weren't one of those families that had prohibited foods or didn't let their children eat ANYTHING that wasn't healthy. They always let me try everything, but food products with artificial ingredients appeared very rarely in my diet.
​
Like any other kid, I detested this because all the "good" candy was filled with unhealthy ingredients, artificial coloring and everything my parents didn't want me to eat. Yet I got used to this and now I love eating everything healthy, which has developed an unusual interest of always researching about foods and their nutritional properties.
​
I am now that go-to person when you want to lose weight or avoid eating acne-triggering foods because I have researched all about it and if I have to be honest; I love being that person.

I would like to say that I am interested in cardio or neurosurgery, but the truth is that I am only interested in plastic surgery. I have an immense respect for those who dedicate their lives to saving others, but that isn't for me. I have always been interested in the effect of self-esteem on your day to day life and the truth is that it is extremely important to have a high self esteem to live a happy life. People unfortunately are diagnosed with depression mainly because of other people's opinion and their physical appearance.
Being able to change someone's live by performing surgery on their heart or some other crucial organ would bring me and that person so much happiness. However, even if it sounds superficial, for that person to have a good day because they looked in the mirror in the morning, I'd like to be able to make that happen.
