Passion is the driver behind any good physician. I am always looking to learn and improve upon my performance in whatever I am doing.

Early on in my life, I was diagnosed with mild hearing loss which was thought to be caused by an autoimmune response initiated by the cytomegalovirus. Since, I have seen an audiologist at least every year to check up on my hearing status and to issue new hearing aids when I grew out of old ones. When I finally realized what my audiologist has done for me, I never stopped fanaticizing that I would one day be the one to save or even change someone’s life. Being a changed patient is one of the major motivations that have driven my desire to go into the professional medical field.

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

The desire to attend medical school should be one that is carefully planned out to ensure it is truly the right path; I believe this since medical school is something that requires many extra years of dedication and determination to complete.

When I first started college, I had several questions I asked myself regarding my future. I thought about what my major would be and what my living arrangements would look like post-grad, but I never questioned what my future career would look like. While I had an overwhelming amount of options, I always had a fixed certainty that I would be in the medical field. The only question was in what capacity? Coming in as a freshman, I could have studied to be a surgeon, a doctor, or even a medical lawyer. Ultimately, I knew that changing people’s lives through medicine was my passion—I just needed to find an outlet. However, not once did my 18-year-old self think that I would find my way into a nursing career. As I’ve come to find, life rarely works out as planned. What lead me on the pathway to becoming a nurse is all but conventional, yet I would not change any

I remember fracturing my ankle once from a soccer injury. I took around a month or two to rehabilitate my injury. The physician was able to answer all the questions I had as well as teach me how to walk again after removing my cast. His knowledge of the body and how fast he could recall the information fascinated me. Of course there is also my mother who is a nurse, and she also wants me to be a doctor.
