Cardiologist Personal Statement

This is the story of an Indian immigrant, who wants to accomplish his American dream someday. I was raised in India which is economically not as well off as the United States of America. I completed most of my high school in India and immigrated to the United States at the age of 18. I graduated high school from Mount Hebron High School in Ellicott City, Maryland. Due to financial difficulties, I did not apply to any university and joined Howard Community College, which was truly a remarkable experience for me, showing me what it means to have an American college experience. I was not inclined towards engineering or medicine unlike my friends in India who had chosen to pursue those careers. I chose to explore the various options available in the United States. It was at Howard Community College that I was

Biomed Academy at my high school will be the most contributing factor to attain my goal. This academy has changed my perspective about medicine career. I have gained tons of knowledge from BioMed academy in these high school years. This will help me to attain my goal, because the knowledge gained from this academy will help me to be a successful medical professional. The principle of Health Science, Health Science, CNA, psychology, Biology, and anatomy and physiology are classes that prepared me to be an eligible Pre-Med applicant. I have learned from the basic structures of the body to the complex structure of the body, and from classroom to hands-on experience at the rehabilitation center. These years in BioMed Academy will help me to attain

I am interested in joining the Medical Professions Academy, because I believe it would be a great experience. This program will give me the inside look of what being a doctor is like that high school would not provide for me. I have been interested in going into a medical profession for a few years and I think MPA will help me decide where I want to go with it. While I may go a different route I think MPA will give me something I can't find at my high school. I was really interested in the hands on learning portion and believe it will help me with my future occupation. I am excited for the opportunity to joint MPA next year.

I come from a small rural town nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. My hometown is split down the middle by a set of railroad tracks. On the north side, one can find pristine neighborhoods, newer schools, most doctors’ offices, and the only hospital in town. The south side of the town stands as a stark contrast. On the south side, you no longer find the wealthy neighborhoods but rather dilapidated and condemned homes and housing projects. One seems to find abandoned buildings on every corner, many inhabited by those that have lost their homes. Limited help is coming for those who need it, mostly through churches and volunteer programs targeting the underserved. Many doctors, dentists, and nurses are giving their time and resources to help

I chose to complete my senior project with a nurse at the Cleveland Clinic to assess hands on whether I would find success in my own future as a nurse and eventually as a nurse practitioner. Initially, I was rather anxious that I would not be able to endure the long hours of fast paced thinking and caretaking. However, my advisor reassured me that this is something that will come with experience and even though I was only shadowing for two weeks I found myself quickly adapting to the rigor required of a nurse. Working with my advisor, Allie Rhoten I gained insight from her and other nurses on the best way to pursue a career as a nurse practitioner (NP). They recommended to me that I finished my BSN in four years then enter a workplace that

I was born on February 14, 1993 in the city of La Vega, Dominican Republic. I came to New York at the age of 10. The fact that my first language is Spanish placed me at a disadvantage from the minute I stepped a foot in the United States since even at the airport I was not able to communicate with the agent. My biggest struggle was school since the class was taught in English only and most of my classmates only spoke English. Despite my efforts to give it my all to learn the language and adapt to the customs of this unfamiliar place, it seemed to be a challenge I would never overcome. Since my parents and close family members mostly spoke Spanish as well, they could not help me, they only encouraged me to study and read a lot so that I would learn the language faster. I wanted to fit in with kids of my age and to understand when

Being Angolan and having the opportunity to be here in United States is a chance i could not have expected such opportunity that I am truly grateful for this amazing opportunity and I will always value the education I received at Houston Community College. It my first step to complete a B.S in engineering, I must say that my first few steps falted a I feared failure. Nevertheless, one person during one semester changed my life, she was my communication instructor, Dr. Washington saw beyond my self-doubt and led me to believe I could achieve any goal. Her confidence in me changed my self-perception through her eyes and help. I truly become the confident and ambitious young man she saw. Now that is time to finish this journey and fulfil her

I am a Senior who will be obtaining a Biopsychology B.S. at Oglethorpe University. I am interested in obtaining more experience in the realm of public health. This internship would be a wonderful opportunity to develop fundamental skills that I will be able to utilize in the future as a graduate student and as a researcher/public health official. I would contribute my previous experiences and my desire to help others.

Transcipt Background: I interviewed my uncle who is a heart surgeon. We talked a while about family and how everyone was doing before getting to relevant questions. Me: What do you do as a heart surgeon?

In order to pursue my dreams and ease up my parents burden, I am applying for this program as this provides an excellent platform for underprivileged students to study in a prestigious country like UNited states and this seems to be the gleam of light at the end of the dark tunnel I am passing through, to a higher achieving place where I have no remorse about stepping down in the

I undertook work experience in Monash Medical Centre with rotations in Oncology and Maternity wards, two wards which work in very close association with a radiography team. Here, I witnessed an ultrasound of twins being taken and was introduced to radiographers who were working with pregnant women and cancer patients and was given an outline of their roles. I was inspired by their efforts to take precise diagnostic images to assist clinical radiologists and other doctors diagnose, monitor or treat a patient’s injury or illness. I saw the immense contribution radiographers make towards patient recovery when one of my close friends was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at a very young age. Without the efforts of radiographers who enabled the early

Working in the medical field has always been one of my top long term goals. As a child, I started volunteering at different nursing homes passing out ice and eventually when I graduated from high school I was able to become a worker at one of the nursing homes I volunteered at. Last February , I was in and out of the hospital taking care of my aunt , who passed away with cancer. I would take notes for my aunt if she wasn't alert to hear the nurses or doctors comments. When my aunt was alert I would read the comments to her & she would breakdown the information so that I could have a better understanding. My aunt had her masters in nursing, which means she was a well educated women and knew most of the information the nurses and doctors would

They say that every man has to aspire to something, and whatever one might name it, a challenge or a goal, it is what makes us all humans. Having decided to devote myself to medicine, I did not think that it would become the most complicated challenge I have ever taken. Sleepless nights, years of education, dozens of scientific researches, and I an not even at the point where I want to be yet. However, I came to understanding that the aim of becoming a skillful and proficient cardiologist makes me go on.

In 2012 after completing high school, I immigrated to the United States from Jamaica with my family. At the time my father was operating a small painting and drywall repair company and my first job upon arrival was that of a painter and carpet cleaner. My humble beginnings allowed me more than just a present day sense of pride, but at the time a blank slate on which to plot the course of my life. These were exciting times, learning new cultural norms while navigating my way through a new academic system. Though my finances were often sparse, my will was fueled by a burning desire that propelled me towards the ultimate goal. Much to my delight when I finally achieved the coveted Doctor of Medicine degree I realized that the
