My brain is filled with thoughts that race at a million miles an hour. I think about math equations and science experiments. I am constantly learning something and studying anatomy. My head is filled with memories, good and bad, that shape who I am. My heart is filled with passion about human anatomy and surgery. My heart doesn’t make a lot of my decisions as I try to be as level headed as possible however my heart still races when I solve a math problem or get to observe a surgery. I try my hardest in everything I do. I throw myself 100% into my work because I pride myself in getting good grades and pushing myself to be a better person every single day.

While the pain is fresh and the glory is sweet, I decided to write this article about my experience running the marathon and how in my opinion, it metaphorically correlates the beginning and the diurnal responsibility of my profession as a Surgical Technologist.

Imagine yourself waiting to be interviewed for a job. You are probably nervous and wondering what specific questions will be asked, and may have even googled some usual interview questions to help yourself prepare to answer the recruiter’s questions. The recruiter steps into the room introduces themselves and starts asking questions. He asks you “Where do you see yourself in five years?” as this is a common interview question. Do you have an answer? Or does your mind go blank as you attempt to answer a question you were not prepared for. Whatever your answers to these questions are its important to always have some idea of what your long term and short term goals are for your future. I am being well prepared to answer this question in any interview by Dr. Marlo Kibler as a student in Dynamics of Leadership at Kent State University. By doing my action learning project I have learned the importance of, and how to make SMART goals that will carry me through my entire life. So now let’s take a closer look at my goals and how I am working toward them.

I plan on being a radiologist when I grow up. Ever since I was little, I recall signing fellow classmates’ neon colored casts, covered in smiley faces and stick figures. The mere idea of a broken or fractured bone being fixed seemed impossible to my 7-year-old brain and ever since, I became fascinated with x rays and medical equipment. Having never had a broken or fractured bone (and crossing my fingers I won’t in the future as well), I wanted to know how broken bones were possible to mend from the god-gifted hands of a doctor. Once I reach my goal of being a radiologist, I plan to volunteer in my local community and give back to them as a doctor. I plan on also volunteering in poor parts of the world, such as India and South American

Ever since I became a freshman I high school they encouraged me to go to medical school and become a surgeon like a stereotypical Asian parent. But I flat out refused the idea of becoming a surgeon not because it was a tough career to get into but the fact that every that was educationally advanced aimed for the same career path. Even thought a surgeon is one of the pinnacle career achieved by only the high skilled and educated. We all know where that path is headed: wealth, prestige, and accomplishment. There is no mystery or surprise in the path it too commonly thought out and sought for their just some else’s path that have used for a countless amount of

The defining moment where one realizes their unique service to this world is a great feat. When one finds that purpose, they should fulfill it. In 2007, a moment that has left an indelible stain in my mind, my father who was once a tall strong man, was then lying helplessly, while his eyes rolled backwards. It was a terrifying moment which would later become a defining moment. A seizure which later revealed an atypical grade 4 astrocytoma, peaked my previous interest in oncology.

My junior year I took Honors Human Anatomy which quickly became an interest that called me to change my career from nursing to physical therapy in less than a month. The human body’s ability to adapt, heal, and change intrigued me from day one of the class. My passionate teacher created a learning environment that facilitated me to question the job that I would pursue for my whole life. I had the opportunity to dissect a cat in this class. Students were able to look at muscle and major structures, Having this changed perspective of life caused me to reevaluate my outlook on human life. I do not think that the intended purpose of the class was to prompt life altering material, however this was the effect on me. I also got injured that year while

The information researched gives me a better idea of what I will be doing as a surgeon and what my salary will look like in the future.I have a greater opinion of surgeons because of the amount of school they have to go through in order to actually become licensed. Surgeons also take huge risks operating on patients because if they make any mistakes they could harm or even kill the patient. I plan on going to Emory University after graduating from high school. At Emory, I will take classes like Anatomy and Physiology and learn about the human body. I will be enrolled in medical school for two years after Emory. I will also be taking internships and trying to get experience with

The career I want to pursue in life is to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. I want to be a cardiothoracic surgeon because I find it interesting when doctors on TV shows and internet videos perform surgeries to help save someone's life. I know cardiothoracic surgeons have to spend years practicing for surgery, many years in school, have skill and precision, and have to be in a great medical school. I assume to get into a great medical school you have to be in a college that have either the classes or requirements to get into the medical school that set you on your path to the career you want to pursue. I imagine twenty years from now I’ll be doing what I always wanted to do in life.

Being a surgeon isn’t all about the money like most people think. It’s about helping lives become better or fixing them. Having someone’s life in your hands is a big deal. One wrong move or one wrong cut can end someone’s life that’s why you go to school for so long so you can perfect the practice. It’s a lot of responsibility

This experience is one of the most meaningful and supporting experiences I have had in regards to my decision to apply to medical school. While delivering medical supplies and cleaning rooms I have the opportunity to connect with current doctors and nurses as well as their patents. As I built relationships with the medical staff, I was allowed to observe some of the treatments and later have the reasoning behind said treatments explained to me. This opportunity allowed me to further increase my knowledge of the medical world. It also continues to make me more and more curious as time goes on. Connecting with the patients not only reinforces what I have learned in the past but also gave me new insight as to what it takes to be a doctor.
