...They say a person either has what it takes to play or they don't.” “My mother was one of the greats.” “Me, on the other hand, I'm kind of screwed.” This is where it all began. Do you remember the time when Netflix was only eight dollars a month and you’ve just started watching a new TV show for the first time? But, before you know it, you are watching every episode a thousand times because the show is so great and you can’t get enough of what you’re watching, no matter how many times you see it. Well, that’s how I remember the time before I got hooked into Grey’s Anatomy. It was the summer before my Freshman year of high school and I was sitting on my bed scrolling...

...see anymore. By the time I had finally gotten comfortable on the lumpy waiting room couch, a young man appeared through a door that I had failed to notice. My mom and dad both jumped up from their seat, I stayed where I was. My mom told me to come along and we followed the man down a long white hallway. He brought us to another waiting room where he took a seat opposite of my mom and dad. He introduced himself as my brother’s surgeon. He had a long pointy nose with tiny glasses that rested on the end. He began explaining what he did to my brother. He pulled pictures out of a folder to clarify the jargon he was using. All I gathered from the man’s fancy words was that my brother was in a coma. I thought back to all of the episodes of Grey’s Anatomy I had watched and began to panic. Was he going to wake up? Would he remember who his family was? The questions were racing in circles through my mind like racecars at the Daytona 500. I sat silently while my parents bombarded my brother’s surgeon with questions. The surgeon was very patient and helpful. After my parents had asked their millions of questions he led us down another long series of hallways to yet another waiting room. This one was filled with people. It was the intensive care unit waiting room. We sat down and began the waiting process again. Little did we know, we would practically live in the waiting room for the next twelve days. A petite young woman with large red hair opened the locked doors and yelled my last name...

...The How to Guide: From Grey’s Anatomy to the Real Thing “What do you want to be when you grow up?” has been asked throughout everyone’s childhood. Since elementary, we had firefighters, policemen, doctors, and even zookeepers come in to persuade us that the career they have chosen is a terrific career. I always wanted to be the coolest person there but, once I grew up and went from fantasyland to reality world, I realized it is not about the cool guns, stethoscopes and suits that you can have, but, it is the time (and money) you invest towards college. Although college is an optional path for life, not much can be done without the additional education. Usually, the first or second question on a job application asks about school history. I decided...

...Form and Function The relationship between Form and Function is central to the study of biology. George Cuvier, the ‘father of comparative anatomy’ laid out in his theory of ‘the correlation of parts’ that similarly appearing anatomical structures should have similar functions and this similarity should be used to group or diagnose organisms and their structures (1). Further exploration of four examples in this paper will more clearly show that the function of any ‘thing’ is related directly to the form of its construction. To exemplify this connection between form and function let’s look at the construction of the largest organ of the body, specifically the layers of tissues found in the Skin or Integumentary System, as it’s known in scientific terminology. Constructed of two major layers (Epidermis and Dermis) the skin contains several types of epithelial and connective tissues. From a very cursory examination it’s clear that the skin is a durable, flexible and strong substance. Go a bit deeper and examine these layers for a more in depth evaluation of their form and the layers of the Epidermis and Dermis clearly declare their function from their form. The Dermis, constructed of a layer of connective tissue in the Reticular Layer, underneath the Papillary layer filled with capillary networks of blood vessels feeding the Epidermis up above. The Epidermis then is comprised of multiple layers of cells comprising four or five layers made up of Stratified Squamous Epithelial...
