Sample Student Paragraph
|
I am
here at the Community College of Philadelphia to study English.
When my English is very good, I will study biology, chemistry,
physics, sociology, physiology, and calculus. I will study
all of these courses because I want to transfer to a four-year
university to attain my major and goal. My major requires
me to take the courses above and courses in medical pharmacology,
toxicology, chemical pharmacology, medical biochemistry, medical
physiology, and cardiovascular pharmacology. My goal is to
become a pharmacologist. Pharmacology is the science of detection
and measurement of the effects of drugs or other chemicals
on biological systems. I especially wish to study the therapeutic
and toxic actions of drugs in humans. Also, I plan to study
how to design and discover new agents and to test and improve
old ones. Finally, I wish to work in a hospital as a clincal
phramacologist to help people. I will be glad to become a
pharmacologist. I will gain more self-confidence, knowledge
and experience. I will be able to help people by using my
knowledge.
