I desire to study Clinical Medicine (Bachelors Degree) at Southeast University because I’m impressed with the University’s concentration on creating a learning experience that blends research and field work.

My interest in this area began in October 2002 when my grandmother passed on of Cervical Cancer. As a five-year old, I wanted to help her stay alive but only realized I did not possess the needed skill.

In High School, I volunteered at the School dispensary, thus my exposure to drugs. I had the opportunity to listen to students’ stories of drug abuse and misuse. It occurred to me how much lives are lost through improper medication. I encouraged students not to self-medicate and to always seek early medical attention.

While in school, I received a number of awards at the Speech and Prize giving day of my High school. They are ‘Best student in Biology, Mathematics and Social Studies, 2013’.

According to the World Health Organization, about 100,000 deaths are linked to counterfeit drug trade in Africa yearly. The British Policy Think Tank, International Policy Network estimates that globally, 900,000 lives are lost to fake malaria and tuberculosis drugs. It is however refreshing to note that global manufacturer of generic drugs and the maker of the award-winning anti-malarial drug, Artemisinin, has joined the fight against Fake and substandard drugs.

As a socio-cultural being, I love to visit new places, meet new people and learn about new cultures. I volunteer in my community by teaching younger students and supervising their assignments. To advance active, I actively search for local seminars around my career interest. In January 2017, I attended the Neuro Girl Camp, a STEM Programme where I learnt how to make a ‘Fly Catcher’ using a bottle and sugar.

To achieve this, I pursued General Science in high school, studying Biology, Chemistry, and Physics as majors. My aim is to become a leading clinical doctor, helping to advance research and promote good health.

I believe that, from the above, you will quickly realize my ability to contribute to the community at Southeast University. In this light, I commit to be a positive brand ambassador of the University and to seek your consideration for admission and scholarship.
