My Experience As A Medical Assistant Personal Statement

During my senior year of high school, I began to worry about what my life would be after high school.

After researching several careers, I decided I’d attend community college, obtain my medical assistant certificate enabling me to work in the health care field, which would then help me determine exactly what it is that I wanted.
