“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” (Dr. Seuss) The direction that I choose is a career in the medical field. In order to attain my goal of becoming a doctor, I must first achieve my goals in undergraduate school. As I prepare for college next year, my goals are to graduate from college with a major in Pre-Medicine, to graduate from college with a 3.7 or higher grade point average (GPA), and to volunteer or work for a medical related field for at least six months.
To begin, my first goal going into college is to major in Pre-Medicine. This entails a combination of chemistry, biology, physics, anatomy, and statistics. A major in Pre-Medicine will require me to focus on my studies. I have a passion for Pre-Medicine because I would like to help people.

In order to complete six months of volunteering or working in the medical field, I will need to locate a local hospital, hospice, or clinic where I could work or volunteer. Another option would be becoming a part-time emergency medical technician (EMT). I have already completed a twenty-four hour internship at St. Cloud Orthopedics. This allows me to stand out in relation to the other applicants for medical school. With my internship experience and other experiences comparable to it, it will show that I am prepared to pursue a further education in medicine.
To conclude, the three goals that I hope to achieve during college are to major in Pre-Medicine, to graduate from college with a 3.7 or higher GPA, and to volunteer or work for a medical related field for at least six months. As a result of attaining these three goals, I hope to be accepted into medical school and eventually become an endocrinologist, a radiologist, or an oncologist. “People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.” (Earl
My first goal is to graduate and get certified as a medical assistant. To reach this goal I will attend every class, study hard, and pass every class so when I complete my externship I will be confident in my new career.
The reason why I chose to further educate myself to become a medical assistant is because I love the servant role. Ever since I can remember, I pictured myself in the medical field. I find myself genuinely enjoying helping patients, taking care of them, seeing them smile after the fact; It brings me joy. Not only I find myself enjoying being in the medical field, I also see myself grow in this area. My ultimate goal is to become a Registered Nurse. I started working in the medical field in 2012 at Alaska Regional Hospital. Til this day, I can’t stress enough how thankful I was when my supervisor gave me a chance to work with them. She saw how badly I wanted the position and I stressed the fact
As the coming years approach, I want my future to hold both the passion to explore new opportunities and the strength to overcome new challenges. With the experiences of my high school career, I aspire to take all the things I learned to transition into a college environment where my ideas can be challenged and shared. Where I can learn from others; where I can seek the opportunity to make a direct impact towards saving lives. I believe I can do great things. Through tenacity I will not only be gratified in becoming a doctor, but also be able to share my compassion for others through
Growing up I seen my mom, aunts, uncles and grandfather struggle with the death of my grandmother. Everyday there was a new struggle whether it was getting up to go to work or eat. My grandmother died of breast cancer at the age of fifty two, it devastated my family. The question asked “Is why do I want to go into the medical field?” I want to go into the medical field because I want to be able to make a difference in this world. I want to do research to cure chronic diseases, I want to be able to tell a family that everything will be alright, and I want to be able to save a family the devastation that my family felt.
There is a constant push and pull within my mind: “Should I, or should I not?” I’m never sure of whether I should do something, which has caused me a great deal of inner turmoil. One of the main questions I’ve been asking myself as of late is whether I should pursue medical school. So far, I haven’t made a decision, but I learned something of importance when I was trying to come to a conclusion of this problem. Recently, I’ve started asking myself “If I do this, will I be satisfied?” and I think this will be key to answering my dilemma.
My goals for the next ten years, would be to get accepted to medical school and to graduate from medical school. Specifically, my top three medical schools that I would love to go to would be Oklahoma University Medical School, University of Colorado School of Medicine, and Oklahoma State Center for Health Sciences. To be honest though my top three are the places I would absolutely love to go to, I would gladly take a medical school that would accept me. Currently my plans for a specialty in medical school is endocrinology or immunology, I love the way that the body interacts with itself and how it is able to get confused and attack itself is probably my main interest in the specialty. My goals after I graduate medical school are, working in a hospital somewhere in Oklahoma, preferably in Oklahoma City or Tulsa, and work there as a resident for a time until I would be able to open up my own private practice or join a private practice and continue my health career from there. One of the things that has become increasingly interesting with me is Doctors Without Borders, which may end up being something that I would participate in after medical school during my residency or around the time that I would join a private practice.
For the longest time, the medical field has grown as a part of me. I have been inspired to become a physician since my dad has been a long time patient of type II diabetes and kidney failure. This affected me because as a little girl, I would watch after his health by monitoring what he eats, giving him his insulin shots, and making sure he stays actively up on his feet. My father was the first to detect my natural interest in medicine and taking care of others, so he always kept me involved. What started off as projects in science fairs, turned into knowledge seeking state-wide competitions. My hobby of taking care of other people became a two hour volunteering shift at my high school nurses office. I started attending summer camps that were competitive to get into, and now my major in college is what I will use to get me where I need to be. Although I want to be an Emergency Room Physician, the general ‘doctor guideline’ includes but isn’t limited to common courses in the Bachelor of Sciences (i.e; Chemistry, Biological sciences, Physics, Human genetics). 4-year undergraduate degree program, an addition four years in medical school and a variation of 2-7 years in residency and fellowship (usually split 4:3 years or less)— this varies depending on specialization. Before the admissions of medical school, the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) must be taken and a high score must be achieved.
I have cultivated many skills throughout my undergraduate education that I believe will help me succeed throughout medical school. My decision to become a doctor did not happen overnight but was a passion that grew with me and inspired my entire life. I am eager to start my journey at Morehouse College of medicine and become a physician that provides quality treatment and works on improving health care in rural areas and underserved communities in Georgia and across the United
While growing up, there are innumerable decisions to be made and paths to take. As I am approaching the ending point of my high school career, I have finally found the correct one for me. I have known from a surprisingly young age that I wish to pursue a job in the medical field, and have taken a number of steps to help achieve this dream. I show tremendous passion for both my educational and career goals, and how to reach them. My future is incredibly important to me because through doing my job, I will also be achieving my biggest goal: saving lives.
of clinical rotations will help me set a definite goal for my future. I know that I generally want to be in the surgery room, but I'm not entirely set on one career. At this point in my life, I would like to become an anesthesiologist because I like to concentrate on one thing and I would like to be in the surgery room, but my hands are too shaky to be a surgeon. I would like to attend Texas A&M University and major in biochemistry and minor in pre med, so that I could get into a medical school.
My educational goals are attending a four year university getting a bachelors degree in science with a minor in chemistry. Throughout my time in university I would also like to become a certified Phlebotomist and EKG technician. With obtaining my bachelors in science and minor in chemistry this will be a step towards my final education goal in applying to a master program to become a Physician Assistant. Being able to understand and know health scientific problems has been a lifelong goal of mines helping people to know more about what they can do to prevent or become better has always been my
Hello, my name is Arashdeep Thind and the reasons why I want to pursue my goals in Pre-Med is because I love Biology and I feel as if going into the medical field is the only science to show and unfold what I have learned in my academic career. I’ve been inspired by the hard-working and dedicated students around me that are chasing the same goal as I am. We all have the same passion to help the world and that’s what has driven me to the medical field. This is my second semester of
My ultimate lifetime goal is to become a sports medicine physician, to help athletes’ injuries, and possibly part take in surgical and non-surgical procedures. I believe that my current academic studies will help me achieve my goals by being very attentive in my classes, making good grades and wanting to exceed my academic limits. I also believe my extracurricular activities can help me achieve my goal in becoming a future sports physician by me having an athlete’s perspective. If I can continue to uphold my grades and being attentive in my classes then I can carry a healthy habit to college. Continuing this would hopefully land me the career of my dreams, which is a future goal I intend to
major, along with a minor in Spanish. In order for me to pursue a career in medicine, I will need to excel in school for the next eight years. I decided to go to the University because of the wide variety of students, classes, and research opportunities. Learning hands on and about topics relatable to the current standard of science is something I can only achieve at a secondary education institution. Looking ahead at the class requirements, I am excited to take physiology of humans and other animals, introduction to physics for biology, and organic chemistry. After completing my bachelors, I hope to attend medical school either at Minnesota or on the
Throughout my life, I have worked towards one goal which is to become a doctor. Medicine offers the opportunity for me to integrate different scopes of science while trying to improve human life. Medicine has intrigued me throughout all my life because it??s a never ending
