Sister Spotlight: Karolina Kowalcyk

Taking a look into Karolina's life outside of KD!

Karolina, Beta Class

Graduation year: 2014

Kappa Delta Class: Beta

Major: Human Physiology (Pre-Med)

What made you pick your major/why do you want to be a doctor?

At first what got me into was that I was actually really interested in the subject matter, but as I became more involved with it, I realized the true reason I decided to stick with it, despite how difficult it is, was because it’s really rewarding to be able to make a direct impact on someone by making their life better and being a source of comfort and security.

Are you involved with any activities involving your major?

Yes, I take an EMT class four days a week (Saturday and Sunday included in those four days…)

How does your EMT class work and what will you gain from it?

My EMT class is a semester long course that prepares me for the state EMT exam. Once I pass this exam I will be certified to work as an EMT basically anywhere, including the hospital, for private ambulance companies, SHS, etc. I hope to get a job at one of these places because I know it’s a great way to get experience in the field of medicine and it also lets me start early on what I want do with my life.

How do you manage KD, school and the EMT classes?

Well it’s really kind of just planning ahead of time of when I need to have things done and having everything written down and in a calendar to keep me on track and to help me remember everything. But as much work as it is, I really love KD as well as my classes so it makes it easier that it’s something that I enjoy doing.
