Scientist



Nikola Tesla. One of the greatest minds this world has ever witnessed. A scientist, an inventor, and an innovator. When people talk about their child hood hero, it's usually some kind of entertainer. Mine was a scientist, and becoming one is my dream job. I understand this isn't an easy path, especially in a fied as competitive as Exercise Physiology. I also realize that in order to become a scientist and conduct research, it would require me earning a doctorate degree. To me, it isn't much of a sacrifice. Exercise Physiology is truly a passion, and I feel so blessed to have found something I love studying. I don't know many people who actually enjoy getting up in the morning and opening a textbook. I know this is a goal that will require patience. As of right now, I am working three jobs to help me pay for my education. I hope that by sacrificing so many hours working, I will one day soon be able to attend school full time and become closer to fulfilling my dream.
