I should be selected to attend the FSU CoM Summer Institute because I love learning, enjoy being challenged by hard classes and/or tasks, and I have always had a love for the medical field. I grew up with my mom’s side of the family being in healthcare, her being a doctor in Russia and a nurse in the US and my grandmother worked in a lab. Ever since I was a child, I always wanted to be a veterinarian, but as I grew older my attention turned towards people. I have always been very compassionate and kind towards people and I want to fix everything wrong in the world, which of course can’t be done. I decided that healthcare would be my best option, specifically being a surgeon. With this profession I will be able to help save lives and influence the world in a positive way. I feel that attending the Summer Institute will help me decide if I really want to go into healthcare and possibly what speciality I’m most interested in. It will also help me get a more in depth experience of what medical school is …show more content…
I also have been on the LNHS cheer team for two years and plan on staying on the team for two more years. One more leadership position is my service learning project from my AP Human Geography class that I took freshman year. It required us to locally and globally influence people. For the local influence, I volunteered at UP Orlando for 32 hours when only 8 were required and my group volunteered about 140 in total, granting us the AP with WE Direct Service Learning Award for the most hours out of every other group in the school. For the global influence, my group and I sold wristbands to neighbors and raised over $400 to send to a small village in Colombia. 22 families were given a months supply of food and many of the residents were physically or mentally
The very moment I decide to apply for a master program in biomedical sciences, I have concluded that pursuing a career in biomedical science is my life’s main goal.
I am grateful to have been able to pick up an application for this summer camp program. I know I will have fun learning all this new material that I can apply to real life. On the other hand, I will become better at peer relations, teamwork, and leadership- which currently I’m working on getting better at, so Camp Med will also help me become a better person in general. This is why Camp Med directors should let me attend this program because I have committed myself to developing into a better person to prepare myself for a career in the medical field. One more reason for why I am interested in Camp Med is because I have a passion for learning about medical related subjects, but Camp Med will allow me to be educated
I first learned and introduced to osteopathic medicine by Dr. John Landrum, the director of the FIU Office of Pre-Health Professions. As I begin my undergraduate career here at FIU, I was concerned about my future prospects and curious about continuing my education after earning an undergraduate degree. My appointment with Dr. Landrum in the office was a very informative session. When I told Dr. Landrum of my interest in the study medicine, first question he mentioned to me was “Are you applying to M.D. or D.O. programs?” I was stunned, because at the time I had never heard of osteopathic medicine and thought that there is only one type of medicine, which is allopathic. Then we further discussed about the values and philosophies behind each
In ten years, perhaps I am well on my way to becoming a general manager (GM) of a professional sports team; my dream job. I am counting on my Fort Hays Statue University (FHSU) undergraduate experiences with mentors, hands on learning, and career planning to assist me in shaping that vision or to help me create a new one.
As a pre-med hopeful, my criteria for colleges has been the following: the college must have a strong biology program, particularly in genetics, as I plan to major in biology with a concentration in genetics and biotechnology. My ideal college must have a plethora of research opportunities, and it must be affordable for my family. Middle Tennessee State University has met and exceeded all my standards. After applying to colleges with steep tuitions, I realized that I needed to choose a university that would allow me to graduate with little to no debt. My mother had taken courses at MTSU, so I searched the college online and discovered its exceptional biology program. No other Tennessee state school I had researched before had as many in-depth classes as MTSU has.
As a transfer student, I want to feel California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) such as my home. Being ambassador, it is the best to learn about my school, share my experiences, motivate other students to work towards their goals, look for help if they need, show other students our school's resources, and make others feel special for being part of CSUF.
The University of Mississippi is a second home to me, but also a place that continually challenges me on a daily basis to be better, to think outside of normal constraints, and to become a more effective leader. Serving Ole Miss as a student, and eventually as alumni, is so rewarding.
Thus, the most influential reason I am striving to attend University of Michigan is the Health Sciences Scholars Program. This program includes classes that are specific to the health sciences, in comparison to classes at other universities that won’t satisfy my specific interests. The program provides a plethora of community service opportunities that allow students to actually make a difference in the community while also practicing skills needed in the field of health care. As a HSSP student I would be participating in professional observations, where I would be able to work with health care professionals while also being exposed to different careers. Many students aspiring to work in the health care field don’t have the opportunity to work with patients or doctors until they go to medical school, but I could accomplish this through HSSP during my freshman year. I can’t be a superhero without some prior experience after all. In comparison to other residential programs, such as Lyman Briggs at Michigan State, the Health Sciences Scholars Program at University of Michigan would provide me with the most opportunities to grow and pursue my passion for medicine and healing
After high school, I am going to attend Texas A&M to get an undergraduate degree in public economics and after that I will pursue further education at the Texas A&M Law School. I am going to get a degree in law so that when I graduate I can be a partner in my family's law firm. For the past couple of years I have toyed with the thought of either going to join the marines or being a lawyer but in the end I came to the conclusion that becoming a lawyer was the best bet for me; three generations of my family have done it and I would like to fill their shoes and carry out tradition.
My choice to attend FIU was one of the easier ones I’ve made so far in my academic career. I was drawn to the university as I felt a sense of community here that has only been further enhanced as a legacy, with both my mother and stepfather having completed their Bachelor degrees at this institution. The relationships and connections my parents were able to build here were a testament to FIU’s ability to bring together people from so many different backgrounds and create a family. I experienced an even greater connection as my stepfather found a lifelong friendship and mentor in an FIU staff member and honored him by making him the godfather of one of my younger brothers. Thus, FIU has been a special part of my life even before college was
For years, I would talk about how I would become a doctor not knowing what I wanted my specialty to be or how much work it required. It was when I discovered my love and patience for kids, that I decided on becoming a pediatrician just like my doctor. Over the past couple of years, I have come to continuously re-evaluate my career goals. I have found myself willing to choose a career path that is more involved in the care of children; my aspirations lead me towards becoming a pediatric surgeon. I am very eager to help children and the sooner I will be able to, the better. The skills that the Mini-Medical School Program can teach me will help to better accustomed me to a life centered around medicine and helping others. It can help launch me towards a life-long career of helping children medically. My interest in helping children stems from the fact that I could actually save children’s lives. Children that could grow up to lead healthy lives instead of letting their illnesses overcome them. In addition to aiding children medically, I would put my best efforts in trying to find a disease that I could help cure for them. It has also been a dream of mine to someday be able to cure a disease. If presented the opportunity to do so in the future, I would definitely accept in a heartbeat if it meant that I could help children become healthier or save their
My knowledge and experience from attending CSUF and working in the retail/customer service industry has allowed me to better understand the field of Marketing. During my employment at Fullerton College Writing and Tutoring Center, I took on multiple roles. Aside from being the front desk receptionist, where I managed scheduling appointments, I also tutored students on computer fundamentals (MS Office programs, Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and emailing). I was responsible for creating flyers for its services and available workshops. I worked closely with the center’s coordinator in developing and posting flyers throughout the campus and on its website.
Essay #1: Describe why you wish to enroll at WMU Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. You should describe any connection you have to southwest Michigan.
With this program my dream of being a neurosurgeon will become a little more obtainable because I will have more experience, foundation, and give me some examples of what it’s like working with patients and in a hospital. I want this opportunity to be ahead of my fellow classmates so that maybe I can graduate early and be the youngest in my field. Since the brain is one of the most important parts of the body the more experience I have the
Well I've always dreamed of being a doctor ever since I was a kid. My childhood fantasy of being a doctor and owning my own hospital has never really died, and it's only now that I'm finally able to start seriously looking towards that life goal. Even when I had doubt of being a doctor I would talk to my family and they would be my encouragement of doing great things with my life. Being a first-generation scholar at Langston University really helps me to stay connected to my roots. I have nephews, cousins, and classmates that are looking to me for guidance and understanding. Enrolling at this institution has taught me to never give up and keep working to obtain success. Being in an advanced research during the summer will only keep me connect
