    Topic Proposal: Optometry

    Since my childhood, I have had a passion for the field of Optometry and I am pursuing
    this field in my ISM journey. Specifically for this year, I intend to focus on this field and gain a
    better understanding of the specific requirements and skills needed to be successful.
    I am from a household where most if not all of my relatives are in the computer science
    field. Naturally, this made me feel that I should do something similar to my parents’ jobs but this
    was not a good fit for me, as I have learned through experience. What interested me in the field
    of Optometry and not in Computer-Science was through trial and error. In my freshman year of
    high school, I took Pre-AP computer science in the hopes to fill my technology credit as well as
    learn some form of coding. After a few weeks in this class, I immediately knew that this course
    was not for me. Although my grades were consistent 100’s in the class, the idea of sitting for
    hours and coding programs with difficulty was not appealing in the slightest. On the flip side, in
    freshman year, I also took Pre-AP Biology and I absolutely fell in love with this class. I had
    Mrs.Leslie, and I honestly owe it to her for making me fall in love with biology. Nonetheless, I
    excelled in this class and was always engaged and happy. Choosing AP Biology in my
    sophomore year was another indication that solidified my decision to be an Optometrist. I also
    loved AP Biology and on the exam, I scored a 4. Optometry is of interest to me specifically
    because glasses always have and always will be a major part of my life. Although I don’t find
    corrective lenses tedious, in fact, I find them so interesting because it allows a sighted individual
    to see as new and for that I am very grateful.
    According to the 16 personalities website test, I am an INFP-T. More specifically, it
    shows that I am a mediator. Mediators if not for anything else, are known for “always looking
    for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things
    better.” (16 personalities) I believe this is extremely descriptive of me because I always try to
    make others happy around me even if I must embarrass myself or do things out of my comfort
    zone. Especially in my friend group, I am known as the “sunshine” or “mood-maker” of the
    group. While this may not always be the case, I do try to do my very best to communicate what I
    am feeling and be sympathetic to others’ feelings. This brings us to some skills I believe are
    extremely important to have that will help me be successful in the field of Optometry:
    communication, optimism, and dedication. Communication is vital because a doctor has to
    interact with patients daily and help make them feel better, so proper communication can benefit
    both the Optometrist and the patient receiving care. Moving on, optimism is a skill that can be
    very hard to maintain. Especially with something as risky as the eye, maintaining the attitude that
    the surgery will go well and the patient will recover and if some problem happens, then we can
    fix it, which is an attribute that is necessary to be successful. Lastly, dedication. Dedication can
    come in multiple forms but has one end result, success. If, for example, an Optometrist continues
    to pursue specific knowledge about surgeries and such, their result can only pay off in the way
    that they hoped for, which in turn allows them to be successful.
