“My career goal as a scientist is significantly to better the world.. Medical physics is my current idea of how to do this, although someday I want to teach at a college as my father does. … I hope that with a degree in applied physics, I will be able to apply my knowledge of “the science of sciences” toward new devices and new processes that will help to treat illnesses worldwide.”
