Hello and Welcome

Bio

[edit]

My username is UND77 and my name is Mary; I am a participant in my high school's AP Biology class. We are currently working on Wikipedia: WikiProject AP Biology 2011. I am interested in Biology because I have an ambition to become a pediatric oncologist. I would like to attend either The University of Notre Dame or The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for undergraduate Pre-Medical Studies, and later attend Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine for my specialization/graduate studies. I hope you enjoy my upcoming article(s).

Hobbies and Interests

[edit]

As a high school student, one can imagine I have lots of interesting hobbies and interests.

The great sport of golf

I love cooking and baking. One of my favorite recipes to cook is pan seared scallops with a white wine/garlic base and scallions. I also enjoy the game of golf. I try to golf every day or at least every other day.

Mercedes S 500

Additionally, I love sharks and cars. I am extremely interested in the goblin and thresher sharks, and I am currently working on the Sand tiger shark article. Feel free to check it out! I have been reading shark encyclopedias since the age of five years old. My favorite type of car is the Merecedes-Benz S-Class. As my user box states, "I am a Mercedes Benz enthusiast!" I have not yet gotten a car of my own, however, I hope to get one in the near future. I am a proud owner of a smartcar.

Schooling and Ambitions

[edit]

Pediatric Oncology

[edit]

One may read my beginning Bio and wonder why I want to pursue a career in medicine. My family has been involved in medicine (mother is a herbalist and health insurance provider; father was a paramedic; grandfather was doctor in the army; aunt is a nurse; grandmother was a nurse; etc.), but that is not the only reason why I want to pursue it. Pediatric oncology is a very difficult, emotion filled job. I want to do it because I have dealt with the challenges of living with a cancer patient. It is very difficult, sad, and stressful; I can't imagine how hard it would be for a child. Hopefully someday I can help a child conquer their sickness and their fears about cancer.

University

[edit]

I would like to attend The University of Notre Dame because I feel it is the school that will give me all the tools I need to achieve my goals. I have visited many universities around the country, and found that only Notre Dame fit me. My father attended the school, so it will always hold a place in my heart for it. Also, Notre Dame's women's golf program is fantastic for my skill level and their Pre-Medical studies are stellar. My grandfather attended Johns Hopkins School of Medicine,so I feel that would be a nice choice for me. Also, Johns Hopkins in one of the most prestigious medical schools in the nation.

Help and Formatting

[edit]

Lastly, I am new to wikipedia. Therefore, if anyone would like to lend a helping hand with any of my articles, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm still getting used to the formatting and such, so if you have any additional information or additions in formatting that would be extremely helpful.

Thank you for reading!
