No matter what career you choose in life, communication and writing skills are essential. As of right now my major is biology. The field of biology and learning so much about the body interest me in many aspects. If I want to enter medical school I know I am going to be looked at and interviewed by many schools. Writing an essay on why you believe you belong in med school is also a requirement. If I cannot correctly word my thoughts and put things in correct order on the essay I write, I am going to look much less intelligent than those who can do so. Communication skills in the biomedical field are very important to have. Usually biomedical students eventually become doctors, specialist, nurses, or at least assistants. It is very important to have good communication skills with patients that you will have to interact with every single day. Good grammar, writing, and speech are things we must carry along with us no matter what we choose to do in our lives. The better vocabulary and speech one has they are perceived as being more intelligent. Having these key skills can lead to more than just a good career. These skills can make it possible to engage in everyday conversations with people whom you would never think you would speak to before. I feel there are many fields in writing I need to improve in. I think I am not so good at grammar, knowing where punctuation needs to be, and citing sources. If I were to improve in these fields it would make my writings much more clear to readers and it would give them a better understanding of what I am writing about. I know as a freshman I have a long way to go, but I believe through enough practice I can achieve what I am aiming for. Having better writing skills can majorly help me. I really hope to learn a lot throughout this course.
you seem very focused on where you want to be in the future. good for you and keep it up. the biomedical field is tough. i dont think i could handle it! but i know where your coming from, i want a career in the medical field too. i dont think you will have a problem with perfecting your writing skills, you already seem pretty knowledgeable.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct about have a better vocabulary and speech ability, but being ‘perceived’ as more intelligent I don’t think so. I’ve meet people that can make you believe they were sitting next to you in class but they are not very intelligent. Like you, I know I need to work on getting my thoughts in to the written format. I’m sure we will get a lot of practice in this class and during our time here at Oakland University.
