Statement Of Purpose: Return To America

I was born in Iran (or Persia), and lived there until I finished first grade. Around that time my dad was already a western medicine doctor, but he decided to attain a PHD in Chinese Medicine by enrolling in a program at “ Beijing University of Chinese Medicine”. Thus, before I attended second grade, my family and I, sold everything we had in Iran, in order to begin a new chapter of life in Beijing, China.

Since my coursework has ended, I have continued to volunteer at an urgent care clinic, while also looking for work. I am hoping to find a job position at one of the many hospitals in Oklahoma City or with a research team at the University of Oklahoma. Depending on financial standing, I may also enroll in one class in the fall semester to stay fresh academically and build upon existing knowledge.

I was born in Merida, Mexico. That special day my father was in prison, he would leave our family by my fourth birthday. It would take me eight years to reunite with him in America. With two sisters and a single mother, I became the man of the house at a young age. Neither of my parents finished a high school education. I held my first job at age seven cleaning windshields at stoplights for any available change, in an effort to alleviate my mother’s burdens. My life experiences have taught me resiliency, hard work, and determination.

Camp Cardiac offers a variety of skills and experiences which will expose me to numerous career choices in the field of medicine and the diligence of surgeons and other doctors. I am interested in going into surgery, specifically cardiothoracic surgery and I believe this camp will give me the experience I need to understand what I will be getting myself into and getting an idea of what I will be doing in the future. I am open to other careers in the medical field to such as a physician and and nurse practitioner so what is nice about this program is that it will expose me to other careers as well. I am also interested in talking to the medical students about how they got into medical school and what it takes to reach their level.

Change is always difficult, sometimes it takes tie for people to get used to new lives our too new environments but all is a part of growing up. When I first came here it was difficult, I had to learn a new language, make new friends, and adjust to a totally different life style. There millions of people that like me come here every day with the intention of making their dreams come true and to have new opportunities, and to have a better future. We emigrate to United States because we here see, the things we often lack in our home countries, like for me and I’m sure many Cubans we came here looking for freedom, freedom to express our feelings and our though without the are the fear of going to jail. Wiesel is an immigrant just like many of

This will take approximately four years of classes and another four years of residency. Eight years might seem extremely far away; however, once I start, time will fly by. I will also continue volunteering at a local hospital and a pediatrics clinic near my house. Furthermore, during the summer between undergraduate and graduate, I anticipate to travel back to my home country, Vietnam, and then travel to South Korea, Japan, and China. During those visits, I will be volunteering with groups that gives free checkups to those who are unable to go to the hospital due to financial issues and such. Volunteering adds onto my experience because I learn along the

Today our family has been publicly embarrassed. We were in the town market when four policemen got ahold of us, and beat us. I could see my grandfather restraining himself from fighting back because it would surely put them in the hospital, and when recovered, grandfather would be tried. This put us over the edge, and our family decided that enough was enough. Our whole family sat down for dinner, and we decided that it was time we emigrate to the United States. Chung is very patriotic and his dream was to join the Chinese army after school, so this decision was quite a blow to his future. We calmed him down and told him we would discuss this more, but Mu Lan and Shi Yang are almost 100 percent sure that we need to leave. I feel uneasy with

I came to the United States when I was 15 years old to live with my mom and my two siblings. My mom is a single mother and head of the house who worked 40 or more weekly to give what my siblings and I need. She works in a pipe company cleaning and installing screws to pipes approximately around 25 pounds. She decided to work in a man job so she could get some extra dollars to fulfill our needs. However is not enough to pay for my books and tuition. I decided to work as well so I can pay some of my tuition and some of my other necessities. But what I earn is not enough to continue with my dreams. My dream is to be the first member of my family to earn a college degree. I want to encourage those people who are immigrants and had to get use to

Moving to another country without knowing the language and culture at the age of 15, was one of the most important decisions that I had to make in my life. I left my mom, family, and friends because I knew that leaving them would prepare me to become an independent person. Moving to the United States gave me the chance to learn a new language, and a better future.

Last years, I was in Iraq, in Baghdad, in my house with my mom and sister. It was a beautiful weather, when the phone rang and my mom answered, immediately the smile became on her face when she heard we would travel to another country. After the phone closed, she came to us and said,¨we will finally travel to United States,let us go to prepare the backpacks, we do not have more time to waste¨these news were amazing, but I became sad that we left my cousin, my friend in Iraq. Next, we prepare to go to the pline, we moved in pline to Ardon, then to Germany, and then to United States. It was a fun trip in airport and also a tired one. Then,

I come from a country, Afghanistan, where 99 percent of the nation is Muslim and the majority of the people are illiterate. I am Muslim and grow up in an Islamic country. When I was in Afghanistan, I had no knowledge about other religions. Since I moved to America, I am thrilled that I started my school and got so much knowledge about others religions and cultures. In addition to that, our country’s government is very weak and people are suffering a lot in terms of all lives aspect. I always wanted to study something so that I can at least bring a positive change into people’s lives. I am very delighted that from such a poor country I came, study in America.

Last year, August 1 was nice day we were at home eating lunch and someone who work at UN call my dad and he said ''you will travel to U.S.A after two week'', he ask my dad are you agree to travel to U.S.A ? My dad said ''yes I agree''.

The medical field has always been very interesting to me. I find the way the human body works to be so intriguing and I jump at any chance to learn something new about it. Throughout my years in college I have had the time to focus on what I find most interesting and what direction I want to take my career in. While doing my research, I came across this program and I feel I would be a great fit. In this essay I will discuss the different traits I think are needed to be successful in this field and what skills I will be able to bring to this profession.

Originally from Haiti, but I’ve been living in the U.S. since three years old. I love to learn about new places, people and cultures. I’m the oldest of seven. I’m very down to earth.
