Why Biology Major?

If I told you that I have always been interested in Biology my entire life, I would be lying to you. Biology, along with History, used to be my least favorite subjects in middle school and high school. It wasn't until recently that I became interested in the subject. After my first semester in college, I decided that maybe I should go into a stable profession because I value structure and stability immensely. So, the healthcare field seemed like a safe bet. 

Therefore, I decided to try an EMT course that a friend of mine had recommended. The thing that really got my attention was that EMT's get to drive the ambulance. Of course, it turned out to be a whole lot more than just driving an ambulance. I learned basic anatomy and physiology, basic medical procedures, and some insight as to how the healthcare field operates. Although the class was a 10-credit-hour class, I came out of it having loved it and appreciative of the knowledge it exposed me to. I found the human body to be much more interesting than when I first began the class. 

This newly sparked interest within me became the first step in my journey to becoming a physician and enabled me to pursue Biology as a major.

My Impressions of Marvel's "Black Panther"

Image
I'll be honest right off the bat. I was not as impressed by the movie as I was made to be. Meaning, the movie was overhyped for me, so I went into it waiting for an unimaginable twist or a mind-blowing event, but the movie ended by then. Had I gone in with lower expectations, I'm certain I would have loved the experience more because, don't get me wrong,  it was an  amazing  movie!  Cinematics, plot, acting, and soundtrack were all captivating and impressive! My one advice to the person who hasn't watched this movie it to go into the experience with lower expectations and you will truly enjoy it.

Muslim Inter-Scholastic Tournament (MIST)

Image
MIST Chicago, also known as the "Muslim Inter-Scholastic Tournament," is an annual event that brings many MSA clubs at different schools together in a competitive environment. The weekend-long event includes competitions like Basketball, Quiz Bowl, Short Film, 3-D Art, and much more. In my high school years, I competed in various competitions such as 2D Art, Spoken Word, and Nasheed, which is a type of religious singing that involves only vocals. It was always such a great experience because it was such a powerful way for me to get creative and grow as a singer, Muslim, and even a person. Now that I'm out of high school, I wanted to participate in MIST in a different way. This year, I was given the honor to judge some of the competitions that I once competed in. It was interesting to see the next generation of students become so involved, excited, and nervous to compete, and it reminded me a lot of myself when I was in their shoes.
