Fusing Two Passions

Imagine this:

It is nine in the morning— an unforgivable time for any college student— and you’re sitting in a stiff, wooden chair next to the girl who always smells like a hangover.

You could be cursing your university: who starts class before 2?

You could be cursing the hangover girl: has she never heard of a toothbrush?

Or, you could be like me, sitting at perfect attention, scribbling notes furiously, thinking admiring things about your professor: I bet she loves microbes more than me!

For me, BIO 307D, also known as Biology of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), is a class where I am constantly having enlightening moments; there is something about bacterium, fungi, protozoa, viruses, and our immune system that captivates me, and, in a very abstract way, inspires within me a reverence for the complexity of nature. When I registered for this class, I had no intention of pursing a second degree (much less one in Microbiology), but Professor Moor has introduced me to a subject matter that I will eagerly study for the rest of my life.


[1]. BIO307D is a reading intensive course, but I never feel like I’m wasting my time when I sit down and study for five hours straight. The mindset that studying Microbiology is fun is what has encouraged me to pursue it as a second major.


Another passion of mine is working to protect the innocence of children who are forced to live in brutal circumstances. Childhood is an unalienable right, and there is no justification for stealing this precious experience from any human being. Though there is a sordid variety of horrors children must face, I find myself drawn to ones who are infected with AIDS: over 33 million people are living with HIV, and 2.5 million of them are children.[2] Of the 2.5 million, 90% of them are from Sub-Saharan Africa, where there is limited access to medication. [3] Imagining children living with this painful and terrifying disease is appalling, and, in pursuing Microbiology, I’m prepared to dedicate the rest of my life to this cause.




[4] This video provides the public with a different perspective of children affected by AIDS. Even if a child is not infected with HIV, they must bear the burden of fostering their dying parents and orphaned siblings.


At this point in my life I’m unsure of the path that is most suited for me. However,
in the next four years I will obtain two bachelors degrees, one in Plan II and the other in Microbiology. Microbiology will help me develop my understanding of the microbial world, and Plan II will help me round out this knowledge with other valuable subjects. I do not believe a person is truly educated until they have a good grasp of the world around them. Plan II allows students who focus their university career on a specific subject to simultaneously study different areas they may be interested in. By obtaining a comprehensive education, I believe that I will be able to contribute to the cause of AIDS in more than one area. For example, there are 2.5 million people infected with HIV in India. [5] If I accepted a job with the United Nations (or another company/non-profit) my History of India class would help me cope with the cultural aspect of my experience. Since India has such a vast, complex history, understanding a rudimentary foundation of Indian would enable me to connect with the All-Indian society on a different level. This could be valuable in three regards: first, it would give me the confidence to further my understanding of the country, because I would not be hindered by the insecurity ignorance inspires. Second, it would make assimilation and connection much easier- truly authenticating the experience. Third, by understanding the culture, history, and politics of India, I would be more able to recognize the steps I need to integrate an AIDS prevention program in an underdeveloped country.

Throughout my years here at UT, I plan on familiarizing myself with various AIDS organizations, particularly Face AIDS. Face AIDS works with Partners in Health, a non-profit organization, to provide funding for treatment and healthcare to AIDS victims and their families. This organization is particularly powerful because it doesn’t deal solely with infected individuals. Face AIDS tries to improve the standard of living for the families affected by this disease by employing them.




[6] Face AIDS employees villagers in Rwanda to make these pins. They then sell them for five dollars in the United States, the money is then matched by private donors.

Additionally, in the next four years I plan on volunteering abroad for a semester or summer. Ideally, I’d like to go to Nepal, Mexico, or Ghana where I could do AIDS relief work. For example, if I volunteered with Manisha Singh Punarjeevan Niwas (MSPN), an organization based in Nepal, then I would work directly with children under ten that are infected with HIV. In working with MSPN, I would interact with the patients on a more personal level, and, through familiarizing myself with these kinds of relationships, I would develop a certain degree of detachment that’s necessary for this line of work. For example, compassion is a large part of my personality, and it has allowed me to be more understanding of people from different persuasions. However, I “know [my] limitations and strengths” [7], and this personality trait will eventually hold me back from living my own life-- especially being constantly surrounded by the realities of this disparaging disease. Simply reading stories and looking through photographs of children living in destructive environments will put me in a despondent mood for days. I can become so consumed by the pain of others that I will lose sight of the positivity and beauty in life. I know that doing AIDS relief work will be a trying experience for me, but if I begin conditioning myself early then, when the time comes, I will be more prepared to face the harsh realities of HIV. Ghana and Mexico are two other options for volunteer work. Both of these programs would introduce me to the bureaucratic side of AIDS work, a valuable opportunity since I am not sure what career I would like to pursue. As a volunteer I would lobby local governments for permission to visit schools and communities and teach AIDS awareness.



[8] The two women in this photo are volunteers for Treatment Action Campaign. TAC teaches children from underdeveloped countries about AIDS transmission. This is what I envision for myself when I volunteer abroad.


Another thing I would like to do in the next four years is study at one of the premiere Microbiology programs of the world. I believe that studying abroad offers a variety of obvious experiences, the most important being education and networking. For example, since different strands of AIDS infect various populations, studying at a university or interning at a lab in another country would allow me to work with strands that aren’t widely known in the United States.


[9] This is a photo of a scientist testing six pregnant women’s blood for HIV. I would love to work in a laboratory- whether I’d be testing blood or looking for a cure.


Moreover, there are wide variations in legislation concerning AIDS treatment and government supported relief work around the world. While abroad I will have the opportunity to explore these opinions, and, by default, reach my own conclusions.

As I mentioned before, at this point in my life I’m not sure if my future lies directly in a laboratory or with another form of AIDS relief work. If I worked in a laboratory I would most likely be an employee of a major pharmaceutical company or research institution. Currently this line of work is the most appealing to me because I plan on pursuing a Masters in Microbiology. If in four years I discover that this isn’t the path I want to take, a Bachelors Degree in Microbiology would allow me to pursue a variety of fulfilling, AIDS related careers. For example, I could be an advocate and work for The United Nation’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF). I would enjoy working for UNICEFF, because I believe their fight against AIDS is one of the most genuine and successful in the world. In this line of work a BS in Microbiology will give me a competitive advantage, because I will know the subject very well and be more capable of translating the science of AIDS to lay people. Another potential job I would like to explore is drug-counseling. As a counselor I would administer tests, teach about AIDS and prevention, provide contraceptives, and conduct one-on-one counseling. As simple as this line of work appears, I think it might be one of the most fulfilling— even though I will not be effecting change on a global scale, helping one person overcome their confusion and fear is just as gratifying as helping hundreds.




[10] In 2005 UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan delivered a speech about changing treatments for infectious diseases like HIV. The UN’s attempt to combat the AIDS epidemic is far reaching; they employee specialist from all disciplines.


When I registered for my fall semester classes, I had no idea that BIO307D would play such a large role in shaping my future. I recognize that people change and so do their plans, but I cannot imagine myself deviating from a path that allows me to fuse my passions for Microbiology and children. It’s tragic to think about the millions of children who are infected with HIV each year; they’re innocent beings, who have done nothing to deserve such a painful condition of life. If I can do anything to relieve their pain, I will.

DB....

Short and simple:

Though there are few parallels between Jude’s life and mine, I can relate to his frustrating financial hardships. Like Jude, I am my provider- this means food, cloths, random necessities, and college.

In order for Jude to attend college, “…fifteen years (would) elapse before (he would) be in a position to forward testimonials to the Head of a College” (Hardy 93).

In order for me to attend one year of college I have to barrow around $13,000.

I’m arguing that the inaccessibility of college in Jude’s time is nearly the same, perhaps slightly easier, as in our time. The elitism that prevents Jude from attending University still surrounds economically disadvantaged people today though in a more abstract way.

For example- Someone from an economically disadvantaged background will, most likely, find it difficult to be approved for a loan. Loans require co-signers (FYI- being a co-signer is a big commitment), and co-signers require good credit. First conclusion, the economically disadvantaged person won’t be approved for a loan because the only people who will be their co-signer have been denied. Second conclusion, the economically disadvantaged person won’t go to college.




This video isn't about unaffordable college, however it hammers in the idea that being poor holds you back.

rough draft, take II

DISCLAIMER: Feeding freenzy of shit... enjoy!

---

Imagine this:

It is nine in the morning-- an unforgivable time for any college student-- and you’re sitting in a stiff wooden chair next to the chick who always smells like a hangover.

You could be cursing your university: who starts class before 2?

You could be cursing the hangover girl: has she never heard of Colgate?

Or, you could be like me, sitting at perfect attention, scribbling notes furiously, thinking admiring thoughts about your professor: I bet she loves microbes more than me!

For me, BIO 307D, also known as Biology of Aids, is one of those classes where I’m constantly having “ahhhhhh, I love this” moments. I took the class on a random whim, vaguely interested in learning more about AIDS. However, I will walk away from the class with a newfound passion for microbiology. No matter the time, location, professor, or lab partner, this subject will always been an incredibly intriguing topic for me. There’s something about bacterium, fungi, protozoa, viruses, and our immune system that captivates me, and, in a very abstract way, inspires a reverence in me.

For example, I find it shameful that western society is so quick to jump on the pharmaceutical bandwagon when most of us don’t have the slightest clue as to how a large portion of drugs can disrupt our body’s microbial equilibrium. Our bodies and the world around us are capable of amazing things, and most of us don’t realize how dependent we are on the world to provide us with life.

Another thing I love is children; more specifically, helping children who are forced to live with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (also known as AIDS). “Over 33 million people are living with AIDS”. The sheer mass of this statistic is tragic, but what really upsets me are the statistics concerning children: 2.5 million children are infected with HIV, and 90% of them are from Sub-Saharan Africa. What makes this figures even worse is the fact that-- the majority of the time-- children in Africa have no access to medication. This means that they are innocently forced to suffer this terrifying and painful disease, having done nothing to deserve this fate.

I’m not sure why helping children infected with HIV inspires such a passion within me. Maybe it’s the pure unjustness of the situation, maybe the fact that AIDS work enables me to fuse my two passions together, or perhaps it is a combination of the two. Whatever it is though, I’m prepared to dedicate the rest of my life to this cause.

In the next four years I hope to obtain a bachelors degree in Plan II and Microbiology. Microbiology will help me develop my understanding of the microbial world, and Plan II will help me round out this knowledge with other subjects. I don’t believe a person is truly educated until they have a good grasp of the world around them. Plan II (a Liberal Arts education) allows students who focus their education on a specific subject to simultaneously study different areas they may be interested in. By obtaining a well rounded education I believe that I will be able to contribute to the cause of AIDS in more than one area. For example, there are 2.5 million people infected with HIV in India. If I accepted a job with the United Nations (or another company/non-profit) my History of India class would be a benefit me with the cultural aspect of this experience. Since India has such a vast, complex history understanding a rudimentary foundation of Indian would enable me to connect with the culture on a different level. This could be valuable in three regards: first, it would allow me to understand more about the country as a whole, because I would have a basis of understanding their culture. Secondly, it would make assimilation and connection much easier. I wouldn’t be starting from scratch. Third, by understanding the culture and history of India I would better understand the steps I need to take to be apart of a prevention/awareness/research program.

Throughout my years here at UT I plan on familiarizing myself with various AIDS organizations, particularly Face AIDS. Face AIDS works with Partners in Health, a non-profit organization, to provide funding for treatment and healthcare to AIDS victims and their families. This organization is particularly powerful because it doesn’t deal solely with infected individuals. Face AIDS tries to improve the standard of living for the families effected by this disease, by employing them.

Additionally, I plan on volunteering abroad during a semester or summer at UT. Ideally, I’d like to go to Nepal, Mexico, or Ghana where I could do AIDS relief work. For example, if I volunteered Manisha Singh Punarjeevan Niwas (MSPN), the organization based in Nepal, then I would work directly with children under ten who are infected with HIV. I would interact with the patients on a more personal level, and, through familiarizing myself with these kinds of relationships, I will develop a certain degree of detachment that’s necessary for this kind of work.

For example, compassion is a large part of my personality, and it has allowed me to be more understanding of people from different walks of life. However, at the same time this personality trait can (and will) hold me back from living my own life. Simply reading stories and looking through photographs of children from damaging circumstances will put me in a depressed-there-is-no-happiness-in-the-world mood for days. I know that I will go through a process when I begin doing AIDS relief work, and, if I begin early, then, when I’m fully educated and ready to combat this issue, I will be more prepared to face these harsh realities.

Ghana and Mexico are two other options for volunteer work. Both of these programs would introduce me to the bureaucratic side of AIDS work. As a volunteer I would lobby governments for permission to visit schools and communities and teach AIDS awareness. Working with the non-profits that are stationed in these countries will give me another perspective on AIDS relief.

In order to be a valuable asset to the AIDS cause as an organizational whole, I believe I should be familiar with all facets.

Another thing I would like to do in the next four years is study at one of the premiere microbiology programs in the world. I believe that studying abroad offers a variety of obvious experiences, the most important being education and networking. By attending one of the top universities in the world, I could potentially intern at a lab (Europe has some of the leading AIDS research programs), and explore potential career paths with different research institutions.

At this point in my life I’m not sure if my future lays directly in a lab or with another form of AIDS relief work. If I worked in a lab I would most likely be an employee of a major pharmaceutical company or research institution. At this point this line of work is the most appealing to me.

If I was an advocate for AIDS I could work for The United Nations (UN) or The United Nation’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF). This line of work is also appealing, because I believe UNICEF’s fight against AIDS is one of the most genuine and successful in the world. In this line of work I wouldn’t be working directly in a lab, but a degree in Microbiology would give me a competitive advantage. First, it’ll ensure that I know the subject very well (as opposed to others who may be applying for the job). Second, it’ll also help enable me to translate the science of AIDS to non-science people.

Both organizations have a heavy focus on AIDS awareness and relief work, and could offer me a variety of positions within their designated AIDS programs. Moreover, there are still a variety of career paths that I could pursue if microbiology doesn’t work out for me. There is the advertising and marketing section where I could work for ONE, an American non-profit that raises awareness of poverty, hunger, and disease. There is also drug counseling, and, depending where I worked, I would just need a rudimentary understanding of the disease and counseling skills. As simplistic as this line of work is, I think it might be one of the most fulfilling. Helping one person overcome their fear can be just as gratifying as helping hundreds.

It’s tragic to think about the millions of children who are infected with HIV each year. They’re innocent beings, who have done nothing to deserve such a painful condition of life. If I can do anything to relieve their pain, I will.

P2 Rough Draft

DISCLAIMER: this is a free for all… In other words, I have three midterms this week, and my attempt to get things done early has failed miserably. I know this essay needs some sever revisions, so I won’t feel bad if you write “wtf?” in your reviews. Enjoy—it really is a feast of awfulness.

1. I believe being a counselor is one of the most powerful jobs I could have. Living with HIV is a very tramatic thing, especially for people who don't understand the disease or have acccess to medication. Coming to terms with AIDS is a very emotional process, in this photo the woman in the skirt is serving as a counselor to the other woman.

2. Another potential career is to be a nurse in an underdeveloped country like the woman in this photograph. OR- I when I go for my Masters I could work part-time at an AIDS clinic.


At this point in my life I’m not sure if my future lays directly in a lab or with another form of AIDS relief work.

Sorry to be depressing

After last night’s debates I was discussing American materialism with my Italian friend Andrea. We covered a variety of topics (my favorite: how materialism will lead to America’s downfall), but it wasn’t until I began reading Covey for this DB that I realized how much man’s materialism held him back.

[1] A sculpture entitled "God of Materialism" by Chinese artist Chen Wenling. A VERY fitting title I think!



(This is a drawn-out argument, but when you get to the end everything will make sense!)

First consider this:

In the “Turn of the Tide”, Arthur Gordon feels that everything in his life is “stale and flat” [1], so he takes a doctor’s advice and “spend(s) the…day in the place he was happiest as a child” [2]. And then, after a day at the beach, “the answer came to him” [3].

His static, unfulfilling life was a product of misplaced intentions: “success, recognition, security” [4]. When he only lived for these things, there was no definition or purpose- in other words, the “motives weren’t good enough” [5].

One of the most important lessons in this story is that only when Gordon was able to rediscover life and happiness as a child did everything appear right, and he “really (knew) what (was) deeply important to (him)” [6].

In other words, when we are children we have no concept of the concerns most of us have today.

We were free.

Life was simply about laughing, chocolate, roly-polies, and imagination.


[2] As a child life is simple- laughter is easy. When was the last time we were free enough to laugh like this?



A grey cloud of insecurity did not follow us around, so we were able to view the world from an untarnished perspective.


[3]This picture represents perfectly the metaphorical grey cloud mentioned above, and the materialistic causes of this cloud.


Secondly, consider this:

Gordon is free.

There is no more worrying about trivial things. If there is no more worry, then there is only one thing left to do: truly experience the “spiritual dimension” [7] of the self. When we have this understanding of our soul, we are able to connect with the “sources that inspire and uplift” [8] us.

And, if sympathetic imagination is “the merging of the perceiving mind and the perceived object” [9], then isn’t it fair to suggest that ONLY when our mind is completely free are we are fully able to feel this fusion (whether it’s with nature, music, dance, religion, or people)?!




[4] One woman's connection with nature. This is the connection that I desire most.



So, in conclusion, materialism prevents man from exercising their sympathetic imagination, and, as a result, from truly connecting with our roots (nature), our passions (music, dance, etc.), and people.

So, to further reinforce your impression of my pessimistic nature—my favorite argument is no longer how materialism will lead to America’s downfall, but rather how materialism will lead to humanities downfall.

American Life, Madonna
Do I have to change my name
Will it get me far
Should I lose some weight
Am I gonna be a star


I tried to be a boy
I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess
I tried to be the best
I guess I did it wrong
That’s why I wrote this song


This type of modern life
Is it for me
This type of modern life
Is it for free


So, I went into a bar
Looking for sympathy
A little company
I tried to find a friend
It’s more easily said
It’s always been the same


This type of modern life
Is not for me
This type of modern life
Is not for free


American life (American life)
I live the American dream (American dream)
You are the best thing I’ve seen
You are not just a dream (American life)


I tried to stay ahead
I tried to stay on top
I tried to play the part
But somehow I forgot
Just what I did it for
And why I wanted more


This type of modern life
Is it for me
This type of modern life
Is it for free


Do I have to change my name
Will it get me far
Should I lose some weight
Am I gonna be a star


American life (American life)
I live the American dream (American dream)
You are the best thing I’ve seen
You are not just a dream (American life)


I tried to be a boy

Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh


I’m drinkin’ a soy latte, I get a double shoté
It goes right through my body and you know I’m
satisfied
I drive my mini Cooper and I’m feeling super-duper
Yo’, they tell I’m a trooper and you know I’m
satisfied
I do yoga and Pilates and the room is full of hotties
So I’m checkin’ out the bodies and you know I’m
satisfied
I’m diggin’ on the isotopes, this metaphysics s*** is
dope
And if all this can give me hope you know I’m
satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager, an agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant and a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler and a bodyguard or five
A gardener and a stylist, do you think I’m satisfied
I’d like to express my extreme point of view
I’m not a Christian and I’m not a Jew
I’m just livin’ out the American dream
And I just realized that nothin’ is what it seems


Do I have to change my name
Am I gonna be a star
