Explain Why I Want To Be A Paleontologist

The first time I realized I wanted to specialize in medicine was when my father took me to the fire station when I was around the age of fourteen. He began to show me images of different cases and trauma scenes they had participated in. Since then, I have constantly asked my dad questions about different calls and scenarios about patients he has rescued. By having a father in the medical field and continuing to take science and medical courses throughout high school, I began to learn more about medicine throughout the years. Deciding to partake in these courses further advanced my understanding in medicine. These courses helped it become clear to me that the medical field is something I continuously

My interest in medicine first stemmed from my freshman Biology class and my Nutrition class. I was intrigued by our studies of cells, genetics, and disease. Both courses incited a sense of awe and curiosity within me. Dissecting a frog, was the stepping-stone for my interest in medicine. Seeing the frog's heart made me wonder how the human heart worked. My research into the human heart inspired me to learn more about the medical field. I sought out volunteer opportunities that would give me insight into a doctor’s typical day. During my volunteer experience, I learned that as a doctor you experience many obstacles, including patient compliance and insurance approval issues. In my journey to pursue medicine, I learned that becoming a doctor means more than helping people, it means being the team leader, being compassionate, and most importantly being committed to the patient’s well being.

After many years of being asked what I wanted to be when I grew up and after many of my responses, all of which were different whether it was a doctor or a teacher maybe even a firefighter; I finally know what's right for me. Growing up it was easy for me to just say I wanted to be a scientist or a police officer, but high school was when reality struck my mind and I realized I didn't want to be any of the things I said when I was like ten. I wasn't exactly interested in any of those subjects, although I was doing good in most of my classes I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be and I didn’t think about it either. I enjoyed writing for all my classes, even if it was just plotting notes down on a piece of paper or I’d rejoiced in writing essays about

child. From one emergency physician I saw the face of medicine that I wished to practice. While in the

It all started in the 4th grade. That’s when I knew that being in the medical field is what I’ve always wanted to do. This day, my 4th grade teacher gave us an assignment while learning science. We were specifically learning about the heart and it’s 4 chambers. This subject, I remember, was so captivating and fascinating for me. I soaked in all the information I got from this class extremely easily. It was unlike any of the other classes that I have taken thus far. Math, literature and history were not subjects that I thought were very interesting for me but science was something that I especially excelled in. As the years went by I learned that I was especially had an interest in forensics. The ability to see the open body one-on-one in the fashion that forensics get to have contact with a body was more than interesting for me. So at the age of 12, I decided that forensics was what I was gonna put my mind to.

When I was about the age of seven I had no idea what I wanted to do when I got older. Once I thought of being a cook, or even a meteorologist. One day I really thought about it, and I realized I want to do something that involved animals. I had such a big interest in animal and helping them. I wanted to do something where I got to work with animals everyday.

During my early years at school, I liked the subjects of biology and chemistry. I remember how my obsession with the fine detail of microscopic structures and memorizing whole periodic table in ninth grade made me feel content. I chose to pursue a career in medicine as the study of human body fascinated me. I got myself enrolled successfully at King Edward Medical University to achieve my goal. I consider it a blessing to serve my community through a career in medicine.

When I was in fourth grade we had to read this book that was based in North Carolina, during World War two and when kids at a young age were getting polio and dying. The book named Blue, sparked the interest of being in the medical field. Also, knowing that I could do something great like starting an emergency hospital in just three days so they could put all of the sick and helpless children in one place. Blue is the reason why I am going to go into the medical field instead of choosing a different path.

I cannot remember when I began taking an interest in medicine, but the combination between science, passion, and people was the same amalgam that resided in my personality. I began to be involved in numerous science classes, medical organizations, and job shadowing, not for a grade or to build a reputation, but to strengthen my curiosity and myself as a future physician. As I continued on this path, I began to see the disregarded issues in our healthcare system.

The internal medicine clerkship during my third year of medical school sparked my interest in internal medicine. I was on an inpatient internal medicine team during my first month of the clerkship. Analyzing patient data and developing plans of care with the internal medicine team during rounds was exciting for me. I also observed how physicians would take

My earliest childhood memory supporting my passion for medicine took place in a science camp when I was in 3rd grade. The instructor had us stand back as she lifted a heavy bucket onto the picnic table. The sensation of my nose burning was new to me. Out of the formaldehyde, she ladled 6 sheep eyeballs for dissection. To this day, I see the marbled blue jelly of the vitreous

The first spark of me wanting to be a doctor was when my dad bought a cheap stethoscope home for me to listen to hearts. Since then I have always been interested in biology. I would put that stethoscope on everything. My animals weren’t excluded from this, even the hamster. That one was a bit difficult. But when I aged my career interests jumped around for a little bit.

I have always been interested in science and the way things work. My interest in the medical field started by the time I was in kindergarten. However, I was interested in being a veterinarian at that point in my life. I loved and still do love animals, but changed to wanting to be a human nurse when I was in middle school. I would always go to appointments with my grandparents and parents when I was younger. Watching blood work being taken and the way a doctor would contort an MRI always sparked an interest in me.

Throughout my life I have changed what I aspire to be numerous times. When I was a toddler, I distinctly remember wanting to become a biologist. Only having the slightest idea of what that meant, I did not truly grasp the full scope of what biology is, much less what a biologist does. As my understanding of science evolved, so did my occupational aspirations. My desire to be a biologist had turned into a desire to become a marine biologist.

My first contact with the medical field was at 2 years old, when I was late diagnosed with congenital hip luxation, which caused me to spend years surrounded by physicians. The large amount of time I spent in hospitals getting tested, consulting with doctors and nurses sparked a fascination within me for the medical field and seed in me the idea that I wanted to help people in pain.
