I am interested in volunteering for the Scottish Rite Hospital because I think volunteering is so imperative to my experiences as a high school student. Volunteering has taught me to value others, and take time from your day for the benefit of others. I know that it's important to not think about ourselves, but about others as well, and I hope that volunteering at Scottish Rite can be an extension of my previous volunteering experiences. Additionally, I want to volunteer at a medical hospital like Scottish Rite rather than any other type of volunteering because I aspire to be in a profession from the medical field in my future.

Regardless, I assume that both are highly sought after professions, and are revered by many, and I would not mind being either one, but I would prefer to be a neurologist. Neurology interests me because I have always been fascinated with the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that form the complex nervous system. I’m interested in how the nervous system functions and interacts with other systems to form essential bodily functions in each human being. However, not all human beings are lucky to have the ability for a functioning nervous system and are unfortunately diagnosed with nervous disorders that limit their mobility and standard way of life.
