Swine Flu Personal Statement
We were asked to stay in the car park. A stranger in a white suit came to take a swab of my mouth,
and a week later I as diagnosed with Swine Flu. The thing that stands out the most from this
memory is the wonder I had when I saw that, just as I got better, my whole family came down with
the same symptoms. And yet this isn't the only example. Being in a big family means that if one
person falls, the others go down too. But it was the trauma of being swabbed and the swiftness of

During my time there I helped Laura Simmons, a PhD student, on her project which involved
carrying out a genetic screen on the Arabidopsis thaliana to determine the role of very long chain

should be about his her subject, something which I am about virology. I will also be doing a
placement with Dr Nicola Annels in the Royal Surrey County Hospital during the last two weeks
of October this year, working with her on her immunotherapy project. I want to study my course in
Great Britain for two reasons: firstly as it is where I found the course that most suited me, and
secondly because studying in the United Kingdom would allow me to remain close to my family and
