The human body can be seen as an incomplete jigsaw puzzle, with the final piece missing to complete the picture. Its elaborate structure and complex mechanisms is something that intrigues me and this fuelled my desire to further my knowledge on its anatomy. Furthermore, witnessing my grandfather's health deteriorate from cancer gave me an insight that working in the medical field is not wholly based on knowledge but having a great level of compassion and integrity towards not only the patients but also their loved ones.

I had the opportunity to be able to experience working in a fast paced environment, understand that working in a hospital can put you under a lot of pressure and may at times even be stressful. However, embarking upon this opportunity allowed me to become more confident, made me realise I am capable of working effectively under these conditions and helped me to further my understanding on the routines of the hospital environment. Additionally, I have been volunteering with an organisation named Headway Luton; who care for individuals with brain injuries. This opportunity gave me the confidence to effectively interact with such delicate patients, allowed me to be able to work efficiently in a team to ensure that the services are run accordingly to the patient's needs, understand how their condition has an impact upon the individual and be able to deal with such individuals with delicacy and empathy. Furthermore, in participating with Health Watch Luton, I was given the opportunity to understand how the care provided by the current healthcare professionals has an impact on the patients, allowed me to understand what the patients believe could be improved within the current healthcare services and factors that patients are content with. I was able to talk to people of my local community and develop a greater understanding on their perception of our healthcare

    At the age of ten being raised by minority parents was very difficult for me at the time. At the age of ten I was forced for my English and Spanish vocabulary to be very proficient due to always translating for my parents. At that age learning both languages was annoying, frustrating, and difficult; however that experience shaped me to be a proficient bilingual nurse present and gain benefits by being bilingual. The benefits where the many open job opportunities with the increase pay.

    I was assigned a number of different roles that allowed me to meet and observe a wonderful variety of people with colourful personalities but who all faced health problems associated with the elderly. I was surprised at the level of frustration I felt when I could not offer help to a particular person, but instead had to standby whilst a member of staff tended to them.

This illustrated to me the limitless opportunities available when studying medicine and the different paths I could follow.
