I have taken stock of myself, considering my skills, experiences, and goals. I have looked to family and friends, some of whom are doctors, for advice. Because of this self-examination, I have decided to pursue a career in health care. The process has been difficult at times but always illuminating. Throughout it all, I have never lost confidence - the confidence that I will actively absorb all available medical knowledge, forge friendships with fellow students, and emerge from my training as a skilful and caring physician.
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.

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.

While growing up, there are innumerable decisions to be made and paths to take. As I am approaching the ending point of my high school career, I have finally found the correct one for me.

My future is incredibly important to me because through doing my job, I will also be achieving my biggest goal: saving lives.
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
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.

Through my life, I have made many decisions to help develop my interests and skills as well as my character. Such choices of mine include becoming my high school’s band president, a three season varsity sport captain, a national honor society member, a boy scout and an eagle scout. I have been fortunate to earn many awards including merit badges like emergency preparedness and the first aid and the community service award after being accredited for over 180 hours of cheerful community service. When it came time to think about my future with my high school guidance counselor, she introduced me to an idea of becoming a Physician
All of the University of Tennessee physicians, residents, and students I have interacted with have welcomed me and quickly taken me under their wing. Their desire to teach, mentor, and serve has astonished me and made certain my desire to be a part of such an admirable academic group. With quality guidance and mentorship from the University of Tennessee, I am certain that I will be ready to undertake any challenge my medical career throws at
It’s interesting how in the act of pursuing a goal, we have this naive sense that we already have the tools required to pursue this endeavor. This is where I began in my pursuit of preparing and learning to join the medical field. In this, I have been humbled, struggled, and learned to assess myself in ways I had not previously considered. But through embracing these challenges, I have been able to pride myself on my resilience and continued aspiration to join the medical field and help others. I am a student at UT Arlington who transferred from the University of Arkansas with the desire to continue my education at UT Austin.
I owe it to myself, my family and to the world to be the best I can be and that makes me assiduously pursue my goals towards a career in medicine.
The medical field attracts a wide variety of individuals from all walks of life. The reasons for their shared choice, to pursue a career as a practitioner of medicine, are similarly different. Several of my classmates and friends can point to specific events that helped them make their choice, moments of inspiration when they consciously decided to become physicians. I had no such epiphany, but my choice to study at DMU was influenced by two main factors. Additionally, I have been forced to reevaluate myself and my goals several times along my journey. Most recently, the film “The Doctor” caused a change in perspective regarding my future goals as a physician.
As one embarks on the path to becoming a physician, we face many challenges along the way. For some of us, we may become exposed to the realities of medicine through shadowing and volunteering and then realizing we lack interest in dealing with patients or spending hours upon hours in a hospital. Some may come to discover that they do not possess the time and patience to go through
You’ve worked hard to earn the privilege of becoming a physician. I hope you took some time before starting medical school to enjoy yourself and embrace your passions, be they travel, music or art, or simply spending time with family and friends. Becoming a doctor is a long, bumpy and often lonely road. Resiliency is essential. My first and most important piece of advice is to be sure you retain these other parts of your life that you enjoy so much. If you don’t make the effort, it won’t happen.
My interest in medicine stems from family experiences. My grandmother suffered from Parkinson’s disease for most of her life and required constant care. Helping my grandmother with simple tasks like eating breakfast, or helping her up the stairs was a humbling experience. This experience drove my curiosity about the human anatomy, specifically the brain and how it is treated, which led to the realisation that, for me, a satisfying career would involve helping others. A career in medicine will allow me to combine these motivations, and to gain knowledge that I can use to serve more people than just my family.
"Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be." Coming from a family of physicians, I looked up to my parents and always wanted to be one. Now I have reached this stage in my career where I have realized what I want to be and where my strengths lie. This has happened not by chance but by careful consideration at every step of my career, unbiased self-evaluation and the realistic interpretation of the future that I want to be part of. This essay is thus an honest attempt to present myself to all those concerned.
Medicine has been a passion for me since childhood. I have always dreamt of becoming a physician. What initially drew me into medicine arose from childhood intrigue into the details of human body and diseases. When I was young I knew numerous relative and other people around me suffering through some kind of illness. I never knew what it was.
On many occasions my personal goals have come before my professional aspirations. A career in the medical field has always been something I have looked forward to. As a child I wanted and dreamed of being a doctor, however due to the choices I made in life and the priorities that I had not thought of, I have come to realize that my childhood dream may not come true. Yet, I was able to compromise and make short and long term goals that will lead me into a career in the medical field. My long term goal is to enter the medical field world and be a respected contributor to it. I want to be able to help others in the time of need. In
My purpose of pursuing medicine is to achieve my goal of becoming a doctor. I love seeing doctors in service from childhood when I used to go for checkups. The service attached with this profession fascinated me. Not only this, I am also surprised how human body operates; especially the Brain and I want to know about it as much as I can.
