My Personal Statement On My Life

Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of

There are few certainties of what one will encounter during life. A common joke names two: death and

It was a cold autumn night in North Carolina when I realized that my youth was being taken away from me. I wanted to run away and go back to the life that I had known; where I had the opportunity to go to school was happy and understood the language. Instead I was in a foreign land with my family and we could not return for there was no future in my homeland. According to my father, we had to keep migrating because it was the best thing for our family. It was then when I realized that this is not what I wanted for my family and I asked my father that we needed to go somewhere where I can go to school because it was affecting everybody including my little brother. My father raised me to believe I could accomplish anything I set my mind to

IM was introduced at an early stage in rotations and there was an immediate connection. I was fascinated by the sheer diversity of cases, many unsolved, as well as the amount of direct patient contact. These were patients that spanned ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic gender differences and more, a fascinating mix. Unlike many other specialties, comprehensive holistic care is at the core of treatment, with emphasis on caring for the chronically ill or acute patient. These would be patients that would require continuous and coordinated care which is in line with how I seek to approach case management. Internal Medicine complements my professional and personal ethos of hard work, discipline, compassion, while necessitating challenging diagnoses

The two weeks I tracked were November 6th through the 19th. I chose those days because I was paid on the 6th, and I wouldn’t be paid again until the 20th. By choosing those dates, I was able to see how much I spent from that paycheck and how much left over I actually had. I liked being able to see how much of my paycheck was left over by the time I was paid again. I use that extra money for a buffer in case there is something I have to spend a little extra money on, and so I always have money in my bank account.

Since childhood I was confronted with abuse, poverty, insecurity, and lacking positive role models impacting my mental and physical health resulting in psychosomatic conditions that included depression and anxiety. Personally struggling through childhood trauma has motivated me during my educational, professional, and economic experiences in both Peru and the USA to develop and innovate strategies for prevention. My vision is to execute a healthcare approach that integrates physical and mental components, is accessible to individuals and families, and will reduce disparities in disadvantaged populations. Access to integrated healthcare will turn despair into hope and improve lives. The UC Davis PhD

I started my career in an unorthodox way: delivering science and technology news directly to

Through my whole life I have always desired to go to college. I observed the hardships that members of my family endured by choosing not to go to college and lacked the proper skills needed for a sufficient job. I never want that for me, and one day when I have a family of my own I want to be able to do my share in providing for them properly. While both of my parents have taken post secondary classes, neither have obtained a college degree, and they have always pushed me to pursue my dreams in getting into a school of my choice. I have always loved my science classes and have dreamed of majoring in a science field. When I was younger, my great-grandmother died with Alzheimer's, and I was so devastated that I told my mother I was going to grow up and cure Alzheimer's. I never wanted another soul to feel what I was feeling at that moment.

When I was a child, I wanted to become a physician, since people around my community spoke highly of them. I grew up in a rural area, so the doctor was second famous person in the community beside the mayor. Everyday, each sick patient came with gloomy face, yet he had a magical power to put a smile in patients’ faces. Furthermore, he gets to wear a white coat with a cool nametag, and own a polished black Mercedes in a clinic’s parking lot. I always thought that this is the ideal job in the world.

I was born in a military hospital in Wurzburg, Germany. My father was a captain in the U.S. Army and my mother was a homemaker. I spent the first several years of my life living on an American military base, and attending German schools. My brother and I had many friends both native to Germany, and from the U.S. My father was often deployed; so many times it was just the three of us. My mother was very active in our lives, teaching us to ride bikes, taking us to school plays, and reading to us at night.

Now I’ve started a new life, I will not feel small or follow others steps. Each people in this world is different I just need to find what really suits me. Other people may become a doctor, a teacher, a scientist, or a lawyer. But I’m happy just as a hotelier and chef to be, I made people happy with my service and my food. I will become someone with my own way and I want to encourage people out there. That you don’t need to feel small just because you cannot reach the standard society has made, embrace yourself find what will made you someone in the future, no matter how long it takes for you to realize. What important is your own happiness and don’t regret anything in the

As a University of Delaware student, I am constantly learning about myself and my subjects each and every day. As a strong believer in the power of education, I also believe that many valuable lessons derive from out of classroom experiences. This has encouraged me to apply to this study abroad program, so that I can apply these lessons to new experiences. From my experiences, I have learned a little more about myself and how to bring these skills to new experiences, which will serve as great assets as I continue my education abroad.

I have three sons and the last one is an especial needs child. It is really hard to take care of his needs. My wife doesn 't work, I work full time and when I come home, I have to help my wife because she is tired.

It 's the first day of school. Finally here, after the long, hot, steamy days of summer. Its finally time to settle down and focus on my studies. When I woke up early I jumped out of the bed. I opened the blinds and sprinted my way to the bathroom. Normally I would not be so ecstatic for school, but it 's something about this year that really makes me ready. As I went in the bathroom, I noticed it was still dark outside. It was 6:00 in the morning. I should have not gotten up that early. But I dismissed that thought in my head and carried on. As I put my contacts in and did some light make up, I heard my mom through the thin painted walls. “Courtney! Why did you wake up early!” she yelled as she most likely shuffled out of the bed. I heard my dog Jackson come down off the bed with a thump. As I giggled to myself and replied “Because it 's the first day of school mama! Plus i 'm an early bird”. After I waited 5 seconds for a reply I rolled my eyes, In a friendly manner, smiled and carried on. After approximately 15 minutes of preparation I scurried out the bathroom to my bedroom.
