discipline definition

       From the four articles I explored, there was one common explaination of what being a pre-biology or biology student consists of. As a pre-biology student, you are preparing to venture into graduate school and attend a medical school. This discipline is designed to prepare a student for a career any where from marine biology to medicine, it all depends on what the student decideds to focus on after recieving their bachelors.
I do not feel that my recent reseach has changed my decision on what I'm getting myself into or my future work. I had done reseach on optometry before I decided to major in biology. This major is basically my way to get to where I want to be. Knowing the expectations and the true definition of my major has just further sulitified my decision.
