Who Am I?
By: Natalie Cooper
Welcome to my “Who AM I?” blog. My name is Natalie Cooper. Since it’s a blog about me, let me tell you a little about myself.
I’m the oldest of four, so you can assume I helped raise my younger siblings. I am also their own personal Uber driver. I am sure most of you, oldest children, can relate to this. I have a dog named Bella, whom I constantly have to save from my younger siblings. My siblings just suffocate her with all their love. In my free time, which these days is hard to find, I like to read murder mystery novels and watch murder documentaries with my mom. Some people believe that having an interest in murder stories is weird, but I promise you that I just find the psychology behind murders interesting.
Anyway, I am a freshman in my second semester. My major is biomedical laboratory science. Before you ask, no, I’m not sure what career I want to pursue. I chose this major because it involves subjects I love and offers many career options. This major takes a lot of hard work, time, and dedication. Almost all the classes required to graduate with this major include a lab section, which takes up lots of time. I know what you are thinking, “of course, there are a lot of labs, it's literally in the name of the major.” I know this, but it still doesn’t mean it isn’t a lot of work and a struggle.
I also work at Geisinger in Danville, P.A. as an intern pharmacy technician. This is a great position because I get to choose the days that I work. My favorite shift is the oral solution batcher. I get to batch oral solutions in syringes for emergency use. I also get to compound oral solutions. I also work at a local dance studio in Selinsgrove, P.A. I teach all different kinds of dance styles to kids of all ages. Thanks for reading all about me.
It's great that you found a major with subjects you are interested in, along with already working for an internship in a medical setting. Also, what types of dance do you teach at your studio? I know some ballroom dances, such as West Coast and East Coast swing.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome you already have a job as a pharmacy tech, especially at Geisinger. Already working there will give you more options in the hospital to branch out to since you're not sure what you want to do yet!
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie! You sound like you work extremely hard. That is really something to be proud of!
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie, although I have no siblings, I can relate, as I have been the Uber for my friends before. Nice blog! I also think it's pretty cool that you work two jobs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Natalie. It sounds like you're already working a job that's giving you great skills in line with what you want to study.
