      My name is Fatumah Najjuma, I am currently a student who is in love with science and I believe I am a scientist because it is part of our daily Life. Science is a systematic and organised body of knowledge based on logically observed findings, facts and events. Science is also a way of discovering what is in the world, how those things discovered operate today, how they operated in the past and how they may operate in the future.

   Science is of  importance in a way that  it influences most aspects of everyday life, including Health of all living things, food, energy, medicine, transportation, leisure activities and more. Science promotes human life at every level, from individual comfort to global issues.  If it wasn't for science, we wouldn't have any of the things that make our modern world possible.  And we wouldn't even know what we were missing.

       I would always choose a career in Science because of very many reasons such as;

1. There are very many job opportunities like Medical Physicist, Bio-technologist, Biochemist, Physicist, Computing, Communication, and very many more.

2. Science is evolving everyday and in this way we get solutions to very many problems like COVID 19 that has been pandemic for a while, because of science evolving everyday, a vaccine  has been discovered hence keeping promoting people’s health. When it come to technology, the communication that was used in the 90s is different from the current one which is more preferable and a lot more is coming in the future that is way more better than the already produced ones.

3. Science has played a great role to people’s health and the Future. Since it attached to our daily life, technology growth has improved the quality of  life of the people. The ability to monitor blood pressure or measure glucose levels with the simple aid of a portable device has now become all too familiar. As society becomes increasingly dependent on technology, it is inevitable that our approach towards the treatment and management of diseases is likewise impacted. The concept of patient-directed, self-monitoring healthcare relies on the regular use of easily accessible streamlined devices. In this century, being scientifically literate is therefore not only advantageous but necessary. Choosing a career path in Science will put you at the front line of change and progress in the healthcare industry.

4. Science is global, “Climate change” and “global warming” have become regular terms used everywhere.The challenge of climate change has sparked collaborations spanning the globe. Many developing countries have banded together in an effort to save our world and conserve its resources. Actions to reduce our carbon footprint and usage of fossil fuels, to find alternative energy resources, and, pursue “clean energy” have been undertaken. Such integrative efforts highlight the universality of Science.

The global and integrative nature of Science also means that travel comes hand in hand. During your career as a scientist, the opportunity to attend conferences where like-minded scientists gather and converse will arise. It will also enable you to seek the expertise of other fields such as biotechnology and bio-engineering, allowing for collaborations to be made across a myriad of industries.
