Groundbreaking. by Lydia - August 2024 Scholarship Essay

Science. The most advancing, revealing, and curious subject known to man. Scientists. working to make a new breakthrough every minute and second of the day. A discovery could have been made while I write this very essay, but the point is, I want to be one of those scientists. To make a groundbreaking discovery for the better of the people, and this is how I want to do it.

When I was a kid, I always loved watching doctor shows, specifically the ones from the baby delivery doctors point of view. Doing ultrasounds, revealing the gender to the parents, doing c-sections, and most importantly, bringing a new life into the world. I was in love with everything about it and I knew since then that is what I wanted to be. As I grew older, I discovered a love for something else, music. This proposed a huge barrier in the career I once wanted, but I knew I was not going to give it up.

After a search and a variety of trial and error, I discovered the career of a fertility doctor. Requiring much more school, but would give me a much more flexible schedule in the end, letting me help bring new lives into the world while still pursuing music. Additionally, with the rise of LGBTQIA+ same-sex couples that want children biological to both of them, I want to make that possible. My groundbreaking discovery.

With this, It brings me to the question at hand, what is my next big educational goal? The answer being that after college and university, getting into medical school would be the true goal. But to get there is an expensive and dedicated journey I am prepared to face, and with your help would be made much easier.

Science. The most time-consuming, thorough, and groundbreaking subject known to man. Yet, I can not help but be in love with every aspect of it. Scientists. working towards goals like no other, making the impossible possible, and I want to do just the same.
