When I was little I use to dream of being a nun. I use to walk by our local church and see all the happy young nuns about their daily business and think "Gosh I would love to be as happy and devoted as they are"
See back then nuns were people of great respect. They were known for their love, kindness and compassion. They were very approachable people who enjoyed getting to know and be part of the local community.
After moving to Ireland my perception of nuns changed. Nuns then became a different symbol to me. Here the nuns I come across are all - unfortunately - old. I find them only at funerals or mass. I don't find them as friendly and approachable. And so as the years went by I had forgotten all about the dream that the child in me once longed for.
Naturally I am an ambivert person. I enjoy being social and sometimes even the center of attention but I also need my time for myself and away from my common society.
Dipping into my introversion, I gathered that I wanted to an aeronautical engineer. Dealing with machines and non-organic systems appealed to me. So I got a work experience in Transition Year in Air Atlanta to find out what the job entailed.

As i explored my new found love of the human body i thought to myself:
"why limit it to just the reproductive system and female stuff"
So then I went to the NUIG's 'Open Day' and fell head over heals in love with biomedical engineering! It's the perfect course for me! Got a good mixture between engineering and anatomy!
I'm sure I will be happy with bio eng but i'm still going to try for medicine because in happy lala land anything is possible!
Will I get points? I don't know but I can try.
Will I do well enough on the HPAT? Again all I can do is try.
