Core 1 - Part 2: Participate

Technology is growing more rapidly every day. In the past decade, our society has become more reliable on technology rather than hard books and notebook paper. Students now take their notes on a laptop computer, rather than using a piece of notebook paper and a pencil. Because technology continues to advance, I will have to keep up and stay updated as it progresses. I am currently trying to pursue a major in Radiologic Sciences, even though it is not offered at UCF anymore. Without technology, it would be extremely hard to a Radiologists to fulfill their job.

Radiologic technologists and technicians use a number of different forms of technology on a daily basis. The most common form is x rays. X rays produce an image of a part of the body in order to diagnose medical problems. X ray technology has come a long way since the early 1800s. Now, a technician can simply press a button in order to take an image of a body part. With the aim of becoming one of the best radiologic technologists, I will need to be more than qualified in the technology department of the radiology field. I will need to take multiple classes for my major becoming an expert on x rays, CT scans, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, etc. Also, I will more than likely need some kind of experience; therefore, I will need to practice on the different machinery as well as on a number of different people with different problems. Fulfilling my dream will not be easy, however, it will be worth it.
