BACKGROUND

My family consists of ten people, Mother, Father and eight siblings. I am the first born of five girls and three boys. Our father was a builder but unfortunately he experienced an accident at the beginning of this year and cannot work anymore. My mother is a tailor. In primary school I earned a partial scholarship as the best girl in class. My other siblings have had to drop out of school.

I chose my field of study because it equips one with knowledge to take part in the testing and diagnosis of different diseases that mainly affect the people in my community. People live in unawareness and ignorance of the diseases they carry and only take a test if the condition is already out of control. Sometimes family members only get to know of a disease after their death. This opened my eyes to grow passionate about Medical Laboratory Science because testing and sensitizing one with the diseases can prevent it. How a disease is treated is key in everyone's life which is why I chose Medical Laboratory Science. I dream of working in a good and big research laboratory. I want to work on new methods of solving problems and inventing new procedures and test kits for the diagnosis of different diseases like HIV/ AIDS and sickle cell disease that mainly affect the people in my community.
