- [00:00:00.720](gentle upbeat music)
- [00:00:15.500]My name is Chase Auman.
- [00:00:16.630]I'm a junior from Overland Park, Kansas
- [00:00:18.500]majoring in biochemistry on the pre-med track.
- [00:00:21.390]Before I came to Lincoln, I was sure
- [00:00:22.950]that I wanna be a non pre-med science major.
- [00:00:25.440]Clearly I changed my mind.
- [00:00:27.460]I thought a lot though
- [00:00:28.370]about how my major was related to my future plans.
- [00:00:31.160]If I stuck with biochem, I'd likely get my PhD,
- [00:00:33.830]do research at a university,
- [00:00:35.500]and move on to working in pharmaceuticals,
- [00:00:37.770]but I really reconsidered after my Biochem 101 class
- [00:00:40.570]hosted doctors who talked about their careers.
- [00:00:43.330]I reconsidered and thought a lot about my involvement
- [00:00:45.710]with student government leadership mentoring programs
- [00:00:48.170]in my fraternity.
- [00:00:49.390]I wanted to work with people in my life.
- [00:00:51.980]Science is important to me,
- [00:00:53.290]but people are really my passion.
- [00:00:55.290]So I talked to my advisor
- [00:00:56.540]and added the pre-med track to my major.
- [00:00:59.230]So now I work with both my advisor and the Explore Center,
- [00:01:02.340]which is an advising center here on campus
- [00:01:04.210]for pre-professional students like me,
- [00:01:06.230]and I tailored my schedule and involvements
- [00:01:08.160]so that I'd be ready for the MCAT and for med school.
- [00:01:11.360]I took what I was doing outside the classroom
- [00:01:13.260]and applied it to what I wanna do in the future.
- [00:01:15.670]My advice to you is to do the same.
- [00:01:18.000]Listen to yourself and think about
- [00:01:19.360]what you're doing right now
- [00:01:20.460]and how it applies to your future.
- [00:01:22.430]If you love what you're doing, stick with it.
- [00:01:24.810]But if you're unsure, be open to change
- [00:01:26.990]and be comfortable being challenged.
- [00:01:29.090]I know I was and I'm so glad I was.
- [00:01:31.780]Now, as I look forward to taking the MCAT,
- [00:01:33.780]as crazy as that might sound,
- [00:01:36.020]I have the great resources on campus here to thank
- [00:01:38.970]and I'm so excited for the future.
- [00:01:40.612](upbeat music)
