Knowing what my major would be before I started school turned how to be very helpful. I just started here at CCBC this semester but I know what it is that I have to do while I'm here and where I am going when I'm finished. My goal while at CCBC is to earn my Associate of Applied Science in Biotechnology. This is a difficult degree to earn because it includes many high level sciences and maths.
Once I have earned my A.A.S. I will then transfer to UMBC to continue pursuing my degree in the medical science field. I will need to get my Bachelor's in Biotechnology but I am also hoping to get my PH.D. While attending UMBC I am hoping to work part-time in a lab and then once I am finished with school it is most likely that I will work for a University or a hospital doing research. Another job prospect at that time may be Phizer or some other large pharmaceutical company, where I'll be designing new drugs.
Medical research and science has always been a major area of interest for me. In the ninth grade I read the entire Pill Book from front to back and studied each drug. I would quiz myself just for fun until I began to memorize every drug in the 1998 edition of the Pill Book. I then took Chemistry three years in a row because I enjoyed it so much. As I approached my mid-twenties I began coming up with therories for medicine based on my understanding of neurotransmitters. I cannot remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday but when it comes to medical terminology I just remember. Mostly because I want to I think. So there you have it, I'm going to be a Medical Scientist and I figure what better place to start then to study Biotechnology right here at CCBC.
