From choosing this Scarlet Letter, how I design the letter, to what pizza toppings I would like, or what movie should I watch, I have trouble deciding what to do. Indecision is a large, and a unfavorable part of my life, that makes it difficult to finalize a decision on a test, or even shower before, or after homework. Deciding is hard for me because it feels irreversible, and I cannot do anything about it after I chose one way or the other. In previous essays, I’ve written about the importance of choice, and how life is made of choices. This idea scares me, even though I see it as true. Since this idea frightens me, I think of the future effects, which creates more pressure on the little decisions I make day to day. Although this is not a major flaw, it greatly affects my life by producing more anxiety, stress, and strain with all aspects of my life. What events I practice, if I will go on a long distance run, or practice starting in blocks, I cannot choose in solitary. To help me chose, coaches will tell me to run or jump or sprint. If they let me choose, my normal response is “ I don’t care” “ It doesn't matter to me” or “ Whichever is fine with me”. I detest it when people leave an option open for me to decide, because I am normally in the mindset where one answer is right, and the other is wrong. I rather would choose not …show more content…
This decision will decide where I go in life, and what paths I will take. So far I know that I want to go into a medical field, but I am not sure in what aspect. I have narrowed it down some, and know I don’t want to be a Family Practitioner or anything of the sort. I would rather be someone behind the scenes, and not have to deal with people as often as doctors. I cannot choose yet, but hopefully I can in the future, preferably sooner the
Decisions are what direct a average person's life. Some decisions are easy some are hard. But that’s the way of life and how it works.
Choosing healthcare as a career for me was quite personal. When I was born, I was delivered a month and a half early. My lungs weren’t fully developed and I couldn’t survive on my own. As soon as I was born I was rushed out of the room to the NICU
Choices, the story writen by Susan Kerslake is about how the choices that we make everyday affect who we are and how our life can change by making the wrong decission. But is it always a bad decission? is it always our fault?
My connections look at how certain choices can affect your life forever. The texts that I used to convey this link were The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Slumdog Millionaire directed by Danny Boyle, The Shawshank Redemption directed by Frank Darabont and a poem by Robert Frost called The Road Not Taken. Throughout the texts used we learn that you cannot always see the outcome of a particular choice unless you choose to go down that path. An important decision is made by the main character(s) in each text and they suggest that not all choices are easy to make and can have positive and negative consequences.
Choices are like investments, they can be short term or long term, expensive or cheap. However, the consequences are beyond one’s control. In America, we have something many countries don’t have that is a greater freedom to make choices. This freedom is what enables people to reach great heights in success, but that same freedom can also lead people to despair. So while this freedom to make a choice is done ultimately by you, the consequences—whether positive or negative—are something that one must confront and move on.
“Life is the sum of all your choices.” said Albert Camus. Choices have consequences that will always affect your life and making choices is just a part of human nature. There is one book that showcases choices perfectly and how they affect the main character’s life. This book is called Tangerine, and it shows how choices and events can change people or places by showing us choices that affected its main character, Paul Fisher. This essay will show you just how much people’s choices and events affected his life, and will show you just how much the choices you make will affect your life.
There are an infinite number of benefits from a career in the medical field, but the defining point in my decision is the impact that I would potentially have in other people’s life. I want to be the person that continues one’s fight when they feel like they can no longer fight. The person who sees people at some of their worst times and still gives them hope for the future, no matter what the situation may be. Additionally, it has always been a dream of mine to grow up and truly enjoy waking up each morning to go do what I love. I see a medical career being exactly what would transform this dream of mine into a reality if I were one day blessed enough to have a career in
With that being said, if I had to narrow my specialty choices to five, they would include family medicine, pediatrics, and internal medicine based on my experiences thus far. The idea of providing care for the newborn to the geriatric patient provides diversity that excites me. Serving as coordinator of a patient’s care and well-being stirs the relational being inside me. Senior year of college is often a time where people evaluate their lives and seek to do things of significance. All of the extracurricular activities and leadership positions that I am pouring my time into reflect my high view of relationships. From what I have experienced in the healthcare setting, primary care physicians tend to hold the same value. Primary care physicians I shadowed would look at the chart of a patient and always have a story to tell. I both admire this and strive to live my life in accordance with this
Making decisions is no easy feat, especially when it comes to choices that have the ability to change the direction of one's life. Decisions like choosing what college to go to and what career path to head down are often encouraged to be deliberated as far as years in advance, solidifying the common belief that the more educated the decision, the better it is. English Canadian author Malcolm Gladwell challenges this notion by arguing that snap decisions made by the adaptive unconsciousness have the ability to be controlled and utilized to to become equally as powerful as conscious choices can be. Gladwell executes this message through a well written introduction split up into three parts; the first providing an extended example, the second
In the future, I would like to be a family practitioner. I would like to be a family practitioner because I like to help people get well and seem them happy. Family Practitioners sets diagnoses, treats, and prevents diseases and injuries that commonly occur in the general population. They may refer patients to specialists when needed for further diagnosis or treatment. When I graduate high school I plan to go to college for at least 4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and, depending on their specialty, 3 to 8 years in internship and residency programs. I plan to still be living in Mississippi, if God’s plan is for me to be living here. I chose to plan to be a practitioner because i always have wanted to do something
As previously mentioned, indecisiveness or failure to make a decision can create a host of negative effects.
I have danced around with the many options in the medical field since high school, from paramedic to forensic pathologist and everything in between. I decided on medical assisting because I see it as a step towards other possibilities, a foot in the door to see what I enjoy and will want to do in the future. Medical Assistance have a wide working spectrum and are in many medical areas such as a family clinic, pediatrics, and plastic surgery. Because my goal is a forensic pathologist or autopsy assistant I want to be a medical assistant in plastic or general surgery because I believe it will be a wonderful step towards my goal. As a medical assistant you are held to a high standard of professionalism because the situations you will be working
The complexity of choices affects every human being. For example, I can “choose” whether to cheat on my next exam and receive a better grade, or to take the exam honestly with the possibility of failing. Yet,
Indecisions’ has not only a habit-forming nature, it spreads from one person to another. Indecision is transmitted from one
Most of these decisions have to be made consciously. You can’t just decide spontaneously what to wear, you have to make sure the outfit matches. Although some can be made unconsciously such as talking to people. When someone says hi to you, you don’t think about it you just respond saying hi. Throughout the day we all make decisions using our unconscious and conscious. In some situations there are times when you can’t make a spontaneous decision, or it may lead you in the wrong direction such as it lead the policemen in the Bronx the wrong way. Recently I was faced with a tough decision that had to be made consciously otherwise I most likely would have made the wrong choice. I was trying to decide whether I should continue playing field hockey or if I should switch to Cross Country. I have been playing field hockey since I was in fourth grade so I didn’t want to just quit with no thought put into it. On the other hand if I was to quit and run cross country, I would become a stronger runner which would help me with track. I thought of the pros and cons of each and was conflicted. I loved field hockey but I also love track and wanted to become stronger. I eventually chose Cross Country. This was not an easy choice and if I had made it spontaneously, I would have chose not to quit field hockey which would have been the wrong choice. My life experiences have also lead me to disagree with Gladwell’s main message.
