Why am I interested in being a Biomedical Engineer?

Ever since I was young I always loved building things with legos. I would buy a pack of legos and let my imagination run wild. I would create objects from space ships to castles. When I was young I always wanted to help people also. I would watch doctor programs and learn how to treat wounds and prevent infections. I would learn how to diagnose sickness and other health issues. While I was growing up and trying to decide what major I wanted I was lost in a loop. I wanted to be an engineer because I loved building things but I also wanted to be a doctor because I loved helping sick and injured people. When talking to my councilor she suggested for me to look into biomedical engineering. So I went home and followed her advice and looked it up. Too my surprise it was the combination of both being an engineer and a doctor. I would be able to combine my passions of both building things and helping those who needed help at once.

The field I am most interested in is with nanotechnology. Nanotechnology can revolutionize medicine by having nanobots deliver medicine directly to the area ailed. This is especially important to cancer patients. The nanobots could apply chemotherapy directly to the cancerous area.
