That's kind of a tough question. I guess in terms of things I feel strongly about, it's definitely animal rights. A lot of people think my priorities are all wrong because I'd prefer to defend animals, but the fact of the matter is that all people have the ability to communicate for themselves, even those suffering oppression. Maybe second- and third-world countries don't have the same opportunities that we do in first-world countries, but they DO still have the ability to make someone listen, and there are a lot of people fighting on that front already. Animals, on the other hand, can't talk or communicate. They can't tell you when they're in pain or being abused, neglected or mistreated, and it's a sad truth that most people believe that animals were placed on this Earth solely to be consumed as food by humans. I don't know, I just can't control how I feel when I see or think about an animal being abused, and I honestly DON'T understand how a person can look at an innocent animal and then hurt them.
I guess if I were going to choose a personal interest that I'm passionate about, it would be medicine. Biology in general, and diagnostic medicine in particular. I don't know how to explain it, I'm just really obsessed with medicine. I want to know everything, I want to understand everything. I can't see myself being happy doing anything else.
