The human body is absolutely breathtaking, from head to toe. Every single aspect is amazing.

I'll be the first to admit it: I am a medical nerd, a cancer freak, and an anatomy geek.

I could (and do) spend hours upon hours studying the anatomy and physiology of the human body down to the most minute detail possible.

I often provide sinister "table-side" diagnoses to my friends and family, convincing them they have a rare disease that I once saw on an episode of "Grey's Anatomy."

I have dreams about walking around in scrubs with my little name-tag that reads "M.D."

Here are my confessions:

Being an anatomy geek is not as easy as it sounds. I have had the passion and drive to become a doctor when many of my friends were learning how to add and subtract two digit numbers. That might sound like an exaggeration, but I've had this passion since I was six years old. I remember playing "doctor" when I was around that age and making it way more complex than it needed to be. For example, my "patients" never just had a migraine, the stomach flu, or strep throat. They always had to have some of the most complex ailment around.

I love to read. I'll read anything and everything you put in front of me, but when I'm not reading my YA (Young Adult) novels, my nose is buried deep in a medical book. Each book offers a unique perspective on something so marvelous and thought-provoking. Whether it be from the intern, resident, attending, or entirely about the art of medicine, I'll read it in a heartbeat.

I low-key have a T-shirt that says, "I love Bodies," which is complete with "love" being symbolized as an actual human heart.

I memorized every single bone in the body in a matter of two hours in the fourth grade and haven't forgotten a single one nor it's location.

I can name almost every common type of cancer with details about the disease, their awareness ribbon color, random facts, and most of their subtypes.

Did you know that when you blush, the lining of your stomach blushes too? We're also bioluminescent and glow in the dark, but the light we emit is 1,000 weaker than our eyes are able to pick up.

To become a pediatric oncologist and (hopeful) cancer researcher, which is my dream and future profession, I will have spend approximately 14 years in school, making my 12 years of high school seem like absolutely nothing. There is nothing else on this planet I can see myself doing.

I've been in the hospital setting almost as long as I've been alive. Whether that be volunteering, shadowing, visiting patients, or in the hospital bed myself, the last almost 21 years have been filled with nothing but the medical field.

In all seriousness, over the past 15 years, medicine has become not only my passion, but my life. I absolutely cannot wait for the day I receive my white coat, complete my residency and fellowship, walk down the halls as Dr. Chaplin (hopefully I'll be married though) M.D, and start doing what I love to do, what I was put on this earth to do.
