Explain Why I Want To Be In A High School Academy

For all of my life, I knew that I wanted to help people. I didn’t know how or when I was going to, but I knew that I needed to do something that helped others. We see people helping each other every day, but I knew that I was not like other kids who wanted to be a fireman or a police officer. At the same time, helping people to me wasn’t going to be me becoming a surgeon and saving lives; I do not have a strong enough stomach. For a very long time, helping people meant that I was going to teach high school classes in the sciences. I continued looking around for other career paths and began diving more into the medical field and it fascinated me. Eventually, I came across pharmacy, a career where I can exhibit my need of helping others and my interest in science.

I knew that I loved to help people in need and I always felt that working in the medical field would be a great way to help me help others. I have been extremely interested in the world of medicine ever since. At first, I wanted to be a physician. I used to practice on my stuffed animals, teddy bears, and even my siblings! I used to pretend to give them diagnoses and prescribe fake medicine to them.

I have been able to see the joy on a child’s face when they finally make a shot, the joy on their face when they learn how and when to cross the street, and the joy on their face when they realize that they have the potential to be anything they want to be in life. Being able to watch this all happen has allowed me to realize that I want to see these kinds of amazing reactions every day for the rest of my life. On top of this, I want to be the one to allow them to have this reaction. To me, it is the best feeling in the world when I know that I have helped someone do something they felt they couldn’t do before. This being said, my volunteer work has persuaded me into the direction of the medical field. I feel this has happened because the medical field gives me an enormous variety of ways to impact lives

I wish to attend the United States Military Academy because it has been a dream. I have always read of the great men that have walked through its halls and wish to become one of those prominent figures. You constantly read of West Point in history books and it has always sat as a highly respected place in my mind. The academy itself and the leaders it has produced are almost always admired and respected in life and death. This is an appealing factor that it can produce a person of such worth that history will always remember their names.

​Throughout my life I have had the honor and privilege of helping people whenever the opportunity presented itself. After college, I aspire to become an Obstetric Surgeon; specialize in Fetal Surgery. When I was in the fifth grade my entire class did a project on what we all wanted to be. Upon my research, I discovered the entity of a surgeon. I knew from that moment on that it was the career for me.

When I was in high school, my great-grandmother became ill and came to live with us. Before school, after school, and during the weekend, I helped take care of her. This gave me a sense of pride and during that time, I realized how fulfilling it is to help people. I did not start out on the path to be a part of the medical profession, but I always had the desire! I have often given of my time volunteering at the Agape Senior Care facility. Now I am well on my way to becoming a medical assistant (MA)!

As the product of a Catholic education, I recognize I am called to use my gifts and talents in the service of others. Throughout my educational journey, I have grown academically, morally and spiritually. At the core of it all is the call to serve one another. As a military service woman, I would be fulfilling my call to service.

My passion to help others and my interest in the healthcare arena have been evident since I was a child. I felt as though I had won the lottery every time I helped someone as a child. It was rewarding for me to see a smile on someone’s face from an action that I had completed. I carried out nice deeds without the agenda of receiving something in return, but with the mentality that it was a deed that needed to be done by someone. Whenever the famous, what do you want to be when you grow up game was played, I would faithfully name occupations that pertained to the healthcare field, such as a pediatrician, dentist, or a nurse.

I would like to attend a military academy because I would like to be the best that I can be, while at the same time, serving my country. Education at the AFA is comparable to the best universities in the country, including my prospective major, Astronautical Engineering; so, the service academy is an excellent academic choice for me. Additionally, only the best-of-the-best attend these academies, and being surrounded by such great people will be terrific to make new friends and network.

Think of a moment when you sat down, and the sun beamed on your face as you felt tiny drops of liquid pour down from the sky. You must’ve already concluded that there must be a rainbow in sight. This is a perfect example of why I aim to become a surgical physician assistant. Not because there will be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but because there is a perfect balance in the overall process. As a young girl, I grew fond of helping people. I knew that one day I would want to make a career out of my passion of wanting to help others. The idea of being able to take away someone’s pain impacted my life especially with my experience as an undergraduate student, majoring in biological sciences at the University of California, Davis.

When I was very little I wanted to be a fashion designer then I started to realize I had no real creative skills in sewing drawer or anything like that. Which upset me a bit, but I figured out I loved helping people and making them smile and feel good about themselves since I never felt that way so I decided to become either a psychiatrist or a nurse, I wasn't sure which one would be the best fit for me until I got into high school and got into an anatomy program and physiology program and I had more fun in the anatomy program. So i decided to try and go for medicine after high school and become a nurse, while in anatomy i learned that you could choose which area you wanted to study in and since i love working with younger people or people around my own age i decided a medicine would be the best fit for me at least that's what I believe. These Experiences have helped me be the person I am and stand out a bit more than I used to. I've had so many bad and good experiences in my life. My grandpa went to the hospital for a seizure, my uncle had ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and my other grandpa on my moms side died from liver cancer. These things that have happened in my life has wanted me to get kinto helping other people and fixing them not just their mind but there internal physic

Humans are social beings; living, growing, and surrounded by others. No matter how closed off or reserved a person may be they will, at some point, need help. A smile can change someone's whole day, it is really that easy. All I have ever wanted to do was help people when they might not be able to help themselves. Not only does it make me feel good, like I am leaving a positive mark on them, but I know even if they don’t thank me they appreciate it. I want to make a difference in those surrounding me even if it is only an ear to listen and understand what they are going through. I want to be the very best me there is, as well as, assisting people in gaining back mobility through prosthetics. In the future I want to become a prosthetist giving

I attend a relatively small, private, Catholic high school in northern New Jersey called Don Bosco Prep. I am involved in a variety of activities including sports, music, and various clubs and organizations. My school encouraged me to grow academically, socially, culturally, and spiritually. Our school motto is “empowering young men for life”.  I feel that my school has given me the tools to be an engaged student. The school promotes a brotherhood which has benefitted me personally. Whether a friendship forged from a study group or one formed with a teammate, each friendship brings different experiences to my life for which I am grateful.

Ever since I was a kid, helping others was a determination of mine. Being a nurse was the dream. It wasn't until my injuries that changed that dream to being a physical therapist. I have been a year long athlete for plenty of years. That means a fair share of injuries, and a whole lot of physical therapy. It was also my doctors that got me interested in kinesiology. They were all great people that always put a smile on someone's face. They helped and cured all.

I first realized that I had a passion for helping people when I was a part of the Interact Club in high school. We performed many community service projects, most of which directly involved helping people in need. Watching the look of someone 's gratitude when you give them groceries, or help repair their home was extremely satisfying. At the same time, my passion for medicine first began when I visited the hospital to see my ill cousin while in my teenage years. I watched as health care workers worked tirelessly and with such compassion to make sure he was comfortable and was getting better. I remember all of these scenes vividly and to this day I feel this event was the initial spark of my love for medicine and helping people. These two passions combined helping me to understand that I wanted to use them together in the healthcare field.
