Having always been fascinated about the human body, medicine has always been a subject that I am most passionate about. From a young age, I was exposed to the medicinal world, where I had witnessed my grandmother who had been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. At the time, I felt helpless, but when I experienced the work of doctors and healthcare professionals, I was immediately fascinated by their dedication in helping the most important person in my life. From then on, I have wanted to seek the knowledge and skills that I am unable to learn during my A levels, which are required to help make a difference in people's lives. Having a passion for medicine and the human body, I then went on to read a book called 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks', which helped me understand the complexity of cancer. I still wanted to …show more content…
To build up on this knowledge, I completed an EdX course on essential human biology where I learnt about the cell and various types of tissues. To further expand my knowledge, I attended work experience at the University of Nottingham lab where I gained new information about bacteria and aseptic techniques.

Having also volunteered for 6 months at an after school club, I was able to use my bilingual speaking skills in order to support children in their activities.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. These interests were most likely brought to life from my desire to want to help people and learn more about the human body. The experiences I’ve had throughout my life have brought me closer to the belief that I can one day make a difference in the world through medicine. All though I am not completely decided on what I would like my future career to be, I have been able to narrow my options down to a few of the many choices available.
When I was starting my sophomore year in high school, I obtained a typical ambition of becoming a physician. However, this aspiration was largely unjustifiable since I was oblivious to what a job in healthcare truly entailed i.e. authentic patient care, the significance of effective verbal communication, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) protocols healthcare professionals must abide by or even what the rationale behind using an AED was. However, through HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America), I have gained more competence in understanding the healthcare field and the importance of service, the amount of hard work and preparation for an event to be successful, and the significance of empathy and selflessness.
I’ve learnt that being a doctor is about so much more than administering drugs. At its peak, being a doctor is about communication and compassion.

They lived in an areas filled with filth, but were happy and thankful to at least have a roof over their heads. These kids would also have to
Studying Laws combined will give me the skills applicable to a variety of traditional and nontraditional law careers to help others.

I decided to pursue medicine while I was attending high school in Kolkata, India and fell in love with biology. I enjoyed engaging with people and developing meaningful relationships. I was looking for a path that would provide me with the skills to help others, both in my home country India and abroad.

Surrounded by the Himalayas in West Bengal, India, medical school further inspired my intellectual curiosity and cemented my professional identity.
The medical field is a career path that brings about many options and opportunities of great value. The noble idea of being a doctor tends to cloud the diligent studying and precise training that is actually required for this career. I have wanted to become a doctor since a very young age, and now that the opportunity is here for the taking, I have fully researched what it takes to succeed in this profession and various specialties of the practice. The road to a medical degree is one filled with thousands of notes, years of schooling, and many stressful nights, but the reward is one incomparable to any other.

I figured that this area would help me study living organisms, life processes and understanding the basic life processes that required different medical provisions. I believed that I would eventually find out if I wanted to studying medicine or counsel people. On May 7, 2011, I graduated from Alabama State University with my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Then I volunteered at Jamaica Hospital emergency room alongside the medical providers and interact with the families of those who are medically
There is nothing quite like being from a former Soviet Union member state to instill a healthy respect for the need for democratic law with a solid foundation of juris prudence. Understanding the struggles my ancestors had gone through, in stories by word of mouth among the harsh rule of communist leaders, had solidified an interest in the methods America took to evolve into a “land of opportunity” for all. The majority of my family immigrated to America, all expressing a strong interest in its cosmopolitan life-style, made true by the democratic government instilled in the political system. Therefore, my curiosity in the political system stems from my ancestors wish to leave home and start new lives in America.
Since high school I was mesmerized by the mystery of the human body. I always wanted to study the structure of the smallest cells. Nevertheless, my admiration for the noble work of doctors in helping people and relieving the suffering of others was one of my primary reasons for wanting to pursue a career in medicine. Being born in a family that has always encouraged utilizing our inherent gifts to the fullest extent, I have excelled in every academic venture I have undertaken. My ambition to become a competent physician culminated when I was selected in the top 200 among a 100,000 applicants to attend the best medical school in my country, the University of Khartoum.

Imagine seeing the beautiful smile of a stranger who has been unable to genuinely smile for months.

My passion for medicine is something deeper than a mere interest in learning the extraordinary functions of the human body. I am completely fascinated to learn gross anatomy, histology, pathology, and the complete medical school curriculum. However, I am more captivated by how the knowledge I will gain in medical school will allow me to perform the lifesaving procedures that physicians are able execute. Although, medicine is not always ideally as I have written, I believe that as a physician I would use my knowledge and my experiences to provide the best holistic care to my patients. My culture, my experiences, and my education will bring a different perspective to the medical field. I aspire to have the ability and knowledge to save a child that might not live, to save a woman that suffers a heart stroke, and to even provide the necessary treatment for a child with a mere cold. Additionally, participating in the Loma Linda Gateway to the Health
With the start of medical school, studying basic sciences opened a door to the world enriched with years and years of research. With each passing semester, I gained more knowledge about the biochemical, physiological and anatomical aspects of medicine. The more knowledge I acquired, the more eager I became to apply what I had learnt into clinical practice. Those two years formed the foundation
Oncology Everyone involved in the medical field seems intelligent, courageous, & honorable. In fourth grade, I knew that I wanted to be a doctor; I was in a life-threatening situation caused by a car accident, and I needed emergency head surgery. The surgeon impacted my life forever; I realized that I wanted to be like my surgeon. I read Side Effects by Amy Goldman Koss, which gave me insight about a patient with lymphoma, a type of cancer, and how the oncologist affected her life the way my surgeon affected mine. An oncologist’s nature of work has many responsibilities, which can be mastered by achieving the educational requirements; educational requirements can be met by going to college, which could be less expensive by using prestigious
