How did you become interested in your area of study? What motivates you to continue learning about your career?

I decided to study medicine when I was a little girl. I played with my sister and we dressed up as a doctor and as a dentist (because my sister wanted to be a dentist) and our dolls were the patients. My parents gave me a lot of games that made me feel like a little doctor.
My father is a doctor, so when I grew up he was my inspiration to continue my ilussion. It all started when I saw him curing my little brother when he fell off my parents' bed because he was jumping. I was amazed and I asked him : "What should I do in the future to cure people like you?" and he answered : "you could be a doctor". Since then I started to play with my little sister and we dressed up as a doctor and as a dentist, because she was inspired by my eldest cousin, who was a dentist.
When I was in highschool I studied a lot because I still wanted to care of people and help them when they feel pain, in the future.
Now in the university, my inspiration is the same, I admire my father and what he does for other people. Every day the most of my classes remind me my ilussion and someday I hope it comes true.

SUMMARY: "An apple peel a day, might help keep cancer at bay"

A study of Cornell Institute suggets that "An apple peel a day, might help keep cancer at bay", a similar proposal to the proverb "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".
The researcher Rui Hai Liu, the senior author of the study, found that the apple peel has several compounds that have anti-proliferative activities, that is to say, anticancer activities in human liver colon and breast cancer cells.
The compounds are about a dozen kinds of "triterpenoids" that previously were tested in laboratory cultures. Three of them have never been described before in the literature.
Liu also said that some compounds act in differents ways against the cancer cells, but all of them have very potent anti-cancer activity and for that reason they must be study further.
Liu and the researcher Xiangjiu He analized the individual compounds in apples of the Cornell Orchard and they also found others compounds called "phytochemicals" (a kind of flavonoids and phenolic acids, known for their antioxidant activity) that seem to have anti-cancer activities too.
The recommendation of Cornell Institute's researchers is to eat 5 to 12 daily servings of a variety of vegetables and fruits, specially apples and their peel to reduce the risks of developing cancer and other chronical diseases.
