Cover Letter: A Career In Pediatric Surgery

I am Sarah Acado and I am majoring in Biology and obtaining a certificate in Agroecology, its great to have a green thumb. I am currently employed with the USDA Research center. Besides work and school , I enjoy spending time with my significant others. I enjoy outside activities and I like to go to arcades and act as if I am thirteen years old with no responsibilities in the world (yeah right). I expect to learn more about the human race and why we do certain things and learn about the different cultural practices. Within five years, I hope to be within my physician assistant career helping to better other people lives through medicine and therapy. My links to my two favorite websites are:

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a child, we have all been asked this question; and as unrealistic children, we all had dreams of being a superhero, princess, cowboy, or astronaut. Later on in life, as time went by, and as we became more knowledgeable, our answers became more serious. Some of us wanted to be teachers, business owners, or a veterinarian. However, I have always wanted to be a doctor, but not just any doctor. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a pediatrician. Now, half way through my junior year in high school, I have started to question the details of this career, and all the hard work it takes to become a part of the medical field.

As a medical school graduate from the University of Washington in St.Louis with a keen passion for speciating the human race, I believe that the subject matter of medicine is the next ‘big thing’ and I want to be present when it changes its state of importance.

In addition, the commitment and empathy demonstrated from the physicians on a daily basis further fueled my desire to study medicine. My experience as a volunteer at Jackson has opened my eyes to the option of studying in the pediatric branch of medicine and motivated me to follow the footsteps of the physicians I worked with. Throughout my life, I have had many opportunities to travel to many diverse countries such as Saudi Arabia, Dubai and my parents’ homeland, Pakistan. Through these experiences, I have noted an inner growth and transformation within me as my eyes and mind were opened to things that I lacked significant exposure to in the West; things such as extreme poverty, hunger, lack of education and literacy, and poor health conditions, but also positive things such as unity, diversity, varying cultures, and different

I have a strong interest in Geisel School of Medicine because of Geisel’s unique learning environment and its various opportunities for me to contributing back to the community.

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. Saving people’s lives on a day-to-day basis has been one of my dreams for as long as I can remember, so the rigorous curriculum

From my toddler years to my young adult years I could always see myself in the future being in the medical field, wearing white scrubs with my hair tied back, being one hundred percent focused on my duties. To have successfully completed my Medical Assisting certification makes me one step closer to my dream of being a neonatal nurse. This success has shaped me into the individual I am today whether its taking care of patients ill or well in a loud hospital setting or in a medical office. Being a Medical Assistant is a career filled with compassion and a career you will be proud of.

Healthcare and healthcare planning are vital in today’s ever-changing world, without education and experience one cannot help patients or make policy changes that benefit all stakeholders. In addition, many people do not understand the ever-changing medical policies and treatment options that are available. Therefore, I am compelled to use my knowledge and education to coordinate healthcare needs of the people in my community. Whether this is managing outpatient care, inpatient care needs or healthcare resources. Therefore, the Marylhurst Healthcare MBA program and all three concentrations will enable me to obtain the skills I need to succeed.

The importance of celebrating holidays and observing the Sabbath have always been of great importance, and a sense of that leadership through those was instilled in me through my father, who was president of Congregation B’nai Jacob of Fort Wayne, IN for many years. To be able to help participate in and organizing events through this synagogue, as well as in the organization

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. Oliver Twist always asks for

The career that I had in mind when I first began college was one in counseling pediatrician. This career would be one that interests me with being with children. Even though I have been thinking about other careers this one still sticks with me that I want to do.

“I began the study of medicine, impelled by a desire for knowledge of facts and of man. The resolution to do disciplined work tied me to both laboratory and clinic for a long time to come” (Jaspers , n.d.). In the past week or so, I changed the career that I wanted to pursue from being a Pediatric Anesthesiologist to being a Medical Technologist. When I first decided to become a Pediatric Anesthesiologist, I was in my junior year of high school and I was simply browsing the world wide web for a good paying job that was also helping others that are in need. Two years later and taking the college course Strategies for Success in College, I have realized that money alone cannot sustain an individual in reaching their ‘dream goal’. I needed something

As a graduate from Johns Hopkins University with seven years of medical training on top of a standard three-year residency, I have concluded that I am the best candidate for the surgical fellowship position, here at Northwestern Memorial. I took part in being an active member with “Doctors Without Borders” and traveled to many third world countries where I was able to save countless lives. My level of experience is unparalleled when it comes to dealing with the toughest life threatening conditions, which happens to be an aspect of my profession that I feel as though makes a significant impact in succeeding in this field. I am a reliable, loyal, and responsible person that will do whatever it takes to save the life my patient no matter the
