My Dream Of Becoming A Doctor

People who are strong in logical-mathematical intelligence are good at reasoning, recognising patterns and logically analyse problems. These individuals tend to think conceptually about numbers, relationships and patterns.

At the age of ten, I read a book, “Gifted Hands” by Dr. Ben Carson, which inspired and begin to motivate my interest in pursuing medicine as a career because I could identify with his discovery of the joy of reading and his fascination with science. When I was 14, I had an epiphany at the doctor’s office. This event occurred a little after I had finished my final exams in school and the next step was to go to senior high school. But, I thought the preliminary chemistry and physics classes of junior high school were daunting and went on to convince myself that a career in medicine might not be right for me.

Ever since I earned my GED, I've been thinking about my and my family's future; which I know I can accomplish with my husband's support. I've come up with three long-term goals that I hope to accomplish within five years.

My other highest score is interpersonal awareness. This means that I very much enjoy social interaction. This makes perfect sense to me.

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

“Excuse me ma’am I think you need your medicine, let me listen to your heart beat,” that’s what I use to say to my dolls. I have always had a passion for caring for others. I knew I would be in the medical field. My goal when I was a child was to become a pediatrician, but my past, present, and future has had numerous unexpected ups and downs.

As the coming years approach, I want my future to hold both the passion to explore new opportunities and the strength to overcome new challenges. With the experiences of my high school career, I aspire to take all the things I learned to transition into a college environment where my ideas can be challenged and shared. Where I can learn from others; where I can seek the opportunity to make a direct impact towards saving lives. I believe I can do great things. Through tenacity I will not only be gratified in becoming a doctor, but also be able to share my compassion for others through

Unlike other medical students, I never had one particular defining moment that changed my life but from a very young age I had set myself to becoming a doctor, but not just any doctor, a surgeon. Therefore, instead of just one determining event, many events helped propel my dream, with medical school being the beginning of much more I hope to achieve.

In my future, I would love to go live somewhere warm like sunny South Carolina and play golf, my main and favorite sport. I've always wanted to do something with medicine like both my parents. I aspire to be an anesthesiologist. Since so many of my family members work in the medical occupation it seems suitable. The only problem with this plan is the fondness I possess when it comes to science, my favorite subject is actually global. I think that it always makes sense and I'm able to remember anything we discuss in class. However, I am very good at overcoming difficult obstacles that life often allots and base my attitude about it to rise above the rest. That is what I would like people, especially my friends, to say about me; strength and persistence are her strong points. I am very determined to improve so my goal is to better myself in all aspects from school to

“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.

Throughout my high school education, I have taken a variety of honors and advanced placement science courses due to my strong interest and talent in this field. In all of these courses, I have enjoyed being in class and have excelled academically. I have received a 5 on the AP exams for both of the AP science courses I have taken thus far, biology and physics, and I strive for nothing less than a 5 on my AP Chemistry at the end of my senior year. Due to my enthusiasm and talent in science, I plan to study pre-medicine in college, hoping to be admitted into school of medicine and becoming a neurosurgeon. This has been a life goal of mine for some time now, and I have been taking the initiative to put myself in a position to achieve this ambition. As I have already stated, I have loaded my high school schedule with difficult science classes to prepare myself for the rigors of pre-medicine and medicine school. In addition, my AP Psychology course I took last year further peaked my desire and readiness to study the brain and its functionality. I am also currently working with Riverview Hospital in a volunteer/job shadowing position once a week in order to get experience and to create valuable contacts that will prepare me for medicine school as well as getting a job or residency after completing college. This individual drive to achieve such an immense life goal sets me apart from my peers and is a catalyst to achieve my life

After high school, I hope to attend Georgetown University. While at Georgetown, I plan to major in neurobiology while taking the premedical track. Also, I plan on applying to the Early Assurance Program during my sophomore year at Georgetown University. My long term career goal is to become a top neurosurgeon, and as you probably know, it is no easy task. I’ve done the necessary research on the career option, and it would take me approximately fifteen more years of schooling. Fifteen years of school would seem daunting to almost anyone, but it’s all worth it do something you love.

“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing”- Pelé. When I think about my future, quite frankly, I’m not sure where I’ll end up. I truly believe my future will depend on my personal happiness no matter what career I end up in. However, that’s not how life goes. In a career, it’s not all flowers and daisies; you sacrifice, you endure, you persevere, and sometimes, you suffer but in the end you are rewarded with a life only dreamed by some. I’m not looking at the medical field for money, I’m looking at it for how it fits to my characteristics. The medical field is a group of people willing to suffer, sacrifice, and endure for the well-being

Since early childhood, I always believed I would choose a career in the medical field. When I was five years old, I was asked: “What do you want to be when you grow up”? I always responded by saying: “I want to become a dentist”. I began to pursue my lifelong goal of becoming a dentist or doctor after enrolling at the University of Georgia majoring in biology. I interviewed and shadowed many doctors, all of whom specialized in different areas. I learned about the education process of becoming a doctor, daily tasks, their lifestyle, and the hours they worked. However, the more time I spent shadowing and working with people in those fields; the less I believed that a career as a

I know that the road that I take to become a doctor is going to be very challenging; however I feel that my past has prepared me for taking on the challenge. As a student, I am an active participant in my academic and extracurricular activities. My first priority has always been to make good grades and learn in college. Although this is important to me, I also know that by participating in clubs, sports, and extracurricular activities, I will become a well-rounded student. I have been working hard for the last 7 years, operating as an independent, responsible adult. In that time I have constantly learnt from my life experiences and developed skills in both learning and life management. I am a very motivated person with goal setting, time management and prior skills that help me achieve what I aim to do.
