      This is really complicated but good question!

      I want to study hearts because I have always found them very interesting. We need our heart to work to be able to live and the heart is much more complicated than people think. Also I enjoy hoping that one day my work might help people with heart problems live a happier life.

      I decided not be a doctor anymore because of some other decisions I made in my life. I think I would have been happy being a doctor but I am also happy doing what I am doing now. I have lived in both the USA and the UK and hope to live in many more countries; if i were a doctor I would have to retake a lot of exams every time i moved to a different country.
