Monday Matters #29

   Over the past four weeks I've  talked about recent discoveries and headline news in the medical field. There were two topics specifically talked about. These topics were dementia and colon cancer. We've found out ways to avoid serious cases of colon cancer by following a vegetarian diet and also by receiving more colon cancer screenings. We also found out that Alzheimers is found in adults as young as 20. With these big discoveries there might soon be solutions to these major problems affecting millions throughout the world. Cancer, I would say, is the most interesting topic to myself because it took two people from my family so it is close to home. I also hear stories about how people lost their friends and family because of cancer and it is dreadful that i can't do anything about it. This field is very interesting to me and helping people is something i really enjoy doing. I really want to make a difference in the world. I could maybe even discover a cure for cancer. I won't know until i try it. I will definitely look at this field with admiration and most likely follow my aspiration in pursuing this career.
