Endocarditis →
I had recently visited my cardiologist at the University of Washington to get a baseline of my heart. During the stroke debacle, the doctos had noticed endocarditis vegetating on my aortic heart valve. As I mentioned earlier on my oral hygiene, I have to take antibiotics to prevent any foreign matter from entering my circulatory system and wreak havoc on the weaken valve. For the doctor...

College Essay
I went back to my personal statement essay that I wrote for my college applications. For efficiency  I chose a question that allowed me to use the same essay for multiple colleges. I had no desire to write multiple statements, even if I was only applying to two colleges. Below is the question and my answer. This response made UW and MIT take notice of my application. While I do not consider myself...

MIT Application Questionary
For the MIT application you were given a set of questions which you had to answer to share how you think. Below are the three questions that were given to the 2003 MIT application followed by my responses.

Your body language shapes who you are  →
TED Talk by Amy Cuddy A friend shared this link to me how the speaker reminded her of myself. After watching this video, it reminded of a day when I was reenrolled back at MIT. I was walking with my advisor after class down the hall in building 56. I was telling my advisor of my concerns and fears that I didn’t think I could pass her class.  I looked at my results of my exams, and I was...

Donating to Wikipedia →
I was reading Wikipedia, and a banner popped asking me to donate. It stated that if all of its readers of 475 million would donate $5, the Wikipedia Foundation would have enough money to end their fund raising. I felt I needed to donate my portion as I have used Wikipedia for several years. I remember in high school there was a time the only way to find anything for a school paper was to use a...

Ejection Fraction →
After all of the threat of a hemorrhage, my doctors had acutely motored my cardiovascular system trying to identify the instigator of the hemorrhage. They were not able to find a clear culprit, and denoted my bleed as ITP, which caused the stroke. Essentially an unknown cause. During these tests, the doctors had noted a heart murmur inefficiency.   In my aortic heart valve, I have...
