My name is Luis Alberto Aponte Velázquez, I’m 22 years old. I was born
in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, and raised in Toa Alta in an area called Bucarabones.
I live with my grandmother, sister Kiarelys and two dogs called Ashley and
Bella. Ashely is a Shitzu and Bella is a Rottweiler. Ever since I was a little
kid, I wanted to help people in any way, which motivates me to work hard
towards my goal. When I started my high school, I studied hard to get accepted
in the Biology Department at The University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus.
When I started studying my main purpose was to be an oncologist, but then I got
a little frustrated and started seeking different opportunities for my level of
knowledge and my preference, considering my happiness and health. I thought about
changing my vision to be a dentist, but I also knew it wasn’t my thing either.
When I started taking microbiology course, I got passionate about laboratory
work and got interested in helping people without having any type of contact
with the patient. This is when I got interested in being a medical technician
and now it is my main purpose. I’m finishing my requirements to start looking
for medical technician schools but my main school I’m applying is to is Recinto
de Ciencias Médicas, another campus of the University of Puerto Rico. I’ve been
working for a couple of months in a restaurant called Platos Restaurant in
which I’m the cashier and also the host. I really like to work in this
restaurant because of the co-workers and because it’s at Isla Verde, near the
beach. If I don’t get accepted in Recinto de Ciencias Médicas, I might take the
last classes I need to finish my bachelor’s degree in biology, and then apply
to another school of medical technicians. Maybe one option will be to apply to
a school in New York, I really like the city.
Isn't it fun to live with grandparents?! I live with mine & they're a little more strict rhan other s butbthe do give me a good laugh!
ReplyDeleteIt's the best experience in life ever. But for them you are the most important person, and they protect you of everything.
DeleteI too like lab work. What types of labs would you like to be working on?
ReplyDeleteI'll be working with blood, poop, and all the medical stuff.
