Why Become A Neurosurgeon

Growing up I never envisioned myself to become a part of the medical field. To this day I am still in disbelief this is the direction my life has taken. I remember the first time an at risk teen outreach counselor showed up at an afterschool summer program right before I entered high school and asked what I wanted to be growing up. It was the first time I was legitimately forced to face my future head on. My father left when my mother became ill and was put on disability so I never had any real guidance or previously discussed the issue with anyone prior to that day. I naively replied "CEO of Microsoft"! It was the only thing I could muster up jovially on the spot. His reply has always stuck with me and now has become a motivating force in

What do you want to be? A question we are asked from kindergarten on up. For some people, the answer lies with them there whole life until they are able to pursue that dream. Others aren't able to choose what they want to be or do until the day comes to make the decision comes. As for me I made my career chose my sophomore year of high school. Although I didn't choose just one possible candidate I have boiled it down to two careers. The first being a Chiropractor and the second being a Physical Therapist.

Hello, my name is Brendan Sherwin, I am 16 years old, and currently attends West Hills High School as a junior. I am that benevolent student that everyone goes to for help or goes to be their partner in group projects. I am a leader to many and a great friend to others. I am currently thinking about joining military, but at the same time I want to save lives. So I decided to join the military sector in health care is the best way to go, in the military leadership earns respect. Besides getting respect, I would like to get the satisfaction of helping those that have risked their lives for this beautiful country of ours, so this is my way of giving back to them. So I want to become a Navy Neurosurgeon. I feel that with my leadership, determination,

When I first knew that I wanted to become a nurse, I was watching a show called Grey’s Anatomy with my grandmother and I was like that would be fun and adventurous to work in a hospital and to make a difference in people’s lives each and every day that you step foot in the door. And to make sure people get the care that they need. I would truly like to be one of those nurses that also helps others that can’t afford to go to a hospital. Do you know how many people die because they don’t have enough money or have the proper care that they need to help them. You could only imagine.

Saving lives is what a Nero surgeon does sometimes and if I can save one life I would do that for a life time. Now lets get to what is not what I would want to do for a life time school I will have to go through 21-22 years of school to get me degree that is crazy!very crazy! So,I will work/operate on brains. On the down side I will have to stay still and that is kind of hard for me as some of you know.The salary is AMAZING I do not know if this is accurate an average salary of 589,500 a year that is good money.I want to work at north side hospital on the 8th floor.

Over the years I have changed careers so many times: a vet, a violinist, an audiologist, an astronaut, a biomedical engineer, and a dancer, but none seem to stick more than the desire to help people. Throughout life I have volunteered at many events. In the past help plant trees, create relief kits, job shadow at hospitals, and help kids go back to school by participating in a program call “Back 2 School” that gives out free backpacks, school supplies, haircuts and more. I think being in a medical career will be good for me. I always like to help people since I was a wee girl and this seems to be a good career for me. Emergency medicine will allow me the chance to provide and take of my family, and be happy with my career

At a young age many of us knew what we wanted to be when we grew up. I knew when I was a little girl that I wanted to help people. I wanted to be a therapist. I have been in the environment of caring for people since I was a little girl and knew that I wanted to go into health care. In healthcare I could shine, using my love to care for people and the satisfaction of being a help to those in need.

In life we are asked the same question over and over again until we can decide. In elementary school we are asked what we want to be when we grow up and most of us answered things like princess, astronaut, artist, rock star, and actor. Then when we got into middle school we started actually thinking and most of us wanted to be doctors, veterinarians, or something along those lines, but we realized that that takes a lot of work. Once high school came along things were real, life was becoming something that we had to do and it wasn’t just an option. Many people decided what they wanted to be early on in their high school career, they didn’t have any idea whatsoever, or they were like me and had many different options just floating around up

If I were to list the careers that I have had in mind since I was a 5 year old up to my current age the list would probably include: a Fireman, a Doctor, a Local News Anchor, or a Lawyer. However, amongst all these careers there is always one common characteristic in them. That common characteristic is to be given the opportunity to help people. With my passion in the sciences, success, and the goal of helping others there is no better place for me than in the medical field. Through personal, volunteer, and first hand experiences the career I have decided to pursue is neurology.

From a young age I had a good idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up. (1) In elementary school I professed that one day I would become a doctor. At that time I had no idea what the career entailed but for some reason I have had my heart set on it ever since. I have always had the mentality for helping other people and it is a core value that I have maintained for as long as I can remember. I remember taking a career assesment during my middle school years that everyone was required to take. As everyone else wondered what their results would be, I had already known my own result. The assesment results told me that I should pursue a career in the medical field. This is something that not many people would be able to tell about

When I was younger, every time someone would ask “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, I went for the standard answers – either a doctor or a flight attendant. But as I grew older, the answer became as clear as a mud. The only thing that wasn’t vague was that I wanted to help people. Nurses, in the simplest but most accurate definition, help people. And as lost as I am, I know that that is what I want to do. I’m most likely going to be a general nurse practitioner first. However, there are a lot of fields that I am ridiculously interested in such as Psychiatric, Forensics, Legal, Neonatal, Neuroscience, and Oncology. Some of these do require further study but I have to wait as I really, really want to help my family first.

As early as I can remember, people have asked me, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' My response

"So... what do you want to be when you grow up?" It's a question we've all been asked. Since I could talk I remember people asking me what I want to be. The answer for a long time was something to the effect of "veterinarian", "ballerina", or "writer". Every time someone asked me, the answer was something different. I got older, I changed, I had new viewpoints and different ideas. I could always see myself doing so many different things. I didn't know what I really wanted. I was figuring it out. What is it that I like? What makes me happy? What motivates me? The answers to these questions are not easy. They take time, development, and reflection.

As a child, whenever someone asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, I would always give a different answer. One week I wanted to travel the world and excavate the tombs of Egypt, the next I wanted to become the next New York Times bestseller. Whenever I imagined my ideal future, it was a vague concept, one I thought I had plenty of time to explore in later years. However, an epiphany at a friend’s birthday party forever changed who I wanted to become.

What do you want to be when you grow up? This question I have heard my entire life. My response when I was five was a doctor. Now I can officially say a surgeon. Not just any surgeon, but the one that makes me want to reach for stars and above. Which is a Cardiothoracic surgeon. My goal hasn’t changed, but made me see the path and my goals for achievement. This career specialty has my enthusiasm and my hope for the best and the most.
