Mary Baldwin University Research Paper

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.

My first goal is to graduate and get certified as a medical assistant. To reach this goal I will attend every class, study hard, and pass every class so when I complete my externship I will be confident in my new career.

I’ve always had an interest in becoming a Doctor. Even as a young child. Unfortunately, I lost my grandpa January 23, 2016 to a Lung Disease. He and I had a great relationship. He inspired me to be the best that I can be. Through his battle with Lung disease, I saw how the Doctors cared for him in a special way. My father suffered from a stroke that nearly changed his life. Watching him progress and get treated from amazing Doctors opened my eyes. That’s when I realized becoming a Doctor would allow me to care for people the same way my loved ones were cared

My goals for the next ten years, would be to get accepted to medical school and to graduate from medical school. Specifically, my top three medical schools that I would love to go to would be Oklahoma University Medical School, University of Colorado School of Medicine, and Oklahoma State Center for Health Sciences. To be honest though my top three are the places I would absolutely love to go to, I would gladly take a medical school that would accept me. Currently my plans for a specialty in medical school is endocrinology or immunology, I love the way that the body interacts with itself and how it is able to get confused and attack itself is probably my main interest in the specialty. My goals after I graduate medical school are, working in a hospital somewhere in Oklahoma, preferably in Oklahoma City or Tulsa, and work there as a resident for a time until I would be able to open up my own private practice or join a private practice and continue my health career from there. One of the things that has become increasingly interesting with me is Doctors Without Borders, which may end up being something that I would participate in after medical school during my residency or around the time that I would join a private practice.

Citrus College is located in the city of Glendora, a small town located in the San Gabriel Valley, with its slogan boasting “Pride of the Foothills.” Known for its middle/upper class housing, good schools and family programs. Also the city’s religion is mainly Mormon and other Christian denominations.

Attending a four year University College is a major goal of mine, no one in my family has ever attended a four year University College before and I would be honored to become the first person in my family to receive a degree in the Medical Field. Since I attended Oakwood Elementary School to the present at Amos Alonzo Stagg High I have been working very hard to find a job that I will really enjoy and hope to succeed in finding a job in

Maryville University is one of the top rated schools for the nursing program. My whole life I have planned on attending nursing school no matter how difficult the curriculum. I worked very hard in high school to keep a GPA which would impress many schools. School has always been a big and important part of my life. After researching schools with a high rated nursing program, Maryville University came upon my screen. I immediately scheduled a visit and after visiting, I completely fell in love with the campus and the faculty. A few days after my visit to Maryville I received an email stating I was accepted into the nursing program. Maryville was the only college I applied to and was the only college I planned to attend no matter the circumstances.

Two decades and many existential crises later, one single aspect of my life has pulled me through: that passion I experienced as a child. I have questioned the source of this motivation more than once, and have sought out to put myself in all possible situations that would predict how I would feel later in my life as a doctor to make sure this passion was not mere infatuation.

Finish my degree and become a registered nurse, possibly a nurse practitioner. Possibly get a position with the hospital, that cared for me in my younger days. Yet, I will like to take my care further than SWLA. I would like to go overseas and spread southern charm of Louisiana around the world.

I would like to see myself as both a physician and a scientist, making a difference in the community. I would hope to combine the specialty I choose to be tied in closely with research. Before medical school, I worked full time as a researcher for 3 years and gained invaluable experience. It is because of that I would like to continue with research even after becoming a physician. I would give back to the community as a physician, as well as have a positive impact on the overall health of the community.

I hope to possibly work for a sports team and or be employed at Kaiser as a sports or shoulder and ankle specialist. I have seen so many sports specialist, but every time I pay a visit I am fascinated with all the certain types of specialty doctors have. I want to be different from some doctors though. Instead of calling me Dr. Thai I would want people to address me as just Jason, for the reason I believe that titles create barriers. Ultimately, my biggest goal would to one day travel the world to third world countries to provide help to those in need. With the knowledge obtained from college, I could work with others to make the lives of other abroad a life worth living. I am not pursuing this career for the money, but for the reason that I may help those who may not even be able to afford doctors. My aspirations now were shaped by my favorite aunt. My aunt was a dentist who sacrificed time with her family to take care of mine. She would give everything to see my family happy. I remember she sang the song "My Heart Will Go On" as I played the song on my trumpet. She passed away a couple years ago, and I was unable to thank her for all she has done. When it is finally my turn to join her, I can finally tell her thank you. Her heart truly did go on, and I am ready to work hard to achieve my goals. For now I make progress day by

To conclude, I will continue to strive for academic excellence to ensure I have the chance to make my aspirations a reality. I know I can develop my skills and knowledge into a force that will benefit those I provide for, much like the care Mary Ann and the patient I helped received during their stay at Huntington Hospital. For this reason, I am pursuing a baccalaureate degree in nursing.

     I have many goals in life such as to have a good strong career and family. What is important to me is graduating Central high school and go on to UND. While at UND I plan to get my nursing degree and specialize in pediatrics and truama. I have

Throughout my life, I have worked towards one goal which is to become a doctor. Medicine offers the opportunity for me to integrate different scopes of science while trying to improve human life. Medicine has intrigued me throughout all my life because it??s a never ending
