Why I Am A Father

The first time I realized I wanted to specialize in medicine was when my father took me to the fire station when I was around the age of fourteen. He began to show me images of different cases and trauma scenes they had participated in. Since then, I have constantly asked my dad questions about different calls and scenarios about patients he has rescued. By having a father in the medical field and continuing to take science and medical courses throughout high school, I began to learn more about medicine throughout the years. Deciding to partake in these courses further advanced my understanding in medicine. These courses helped it become clear to me that the medical field is something I continuously

My interest in medicine first stemmed from my freshman Biology class and my Nutrition class. I was intrigued by our studies of cells, genetics, and disease. Both courses incited a sense of awe and curiosity within me. Dissecting a frog, was the stepping-stone for my interest in medicine. Seeing the frog's heart made me wonder how the human heart worked. My research into the human heart inspired me to learn more about the medical field. I sought out volunteer opportunities that would give me insight into a doctor’s typical day. During my volunteer experience, I learned that as a doctor you experience many obstacles, including patient compliance and insurance approval issues. In my journey to pursue medicine, I learned that becoming a doctor means more than helping people, it means being the team leader, being compassionate, and most importantly being committed to the patient’s well being.

I’ve always had an interest in becoming a Doctor. Even as a young child. Unfortunately, I lost my grandpa January 23, 2016 to a Lung Disease. He and I had a great relationship. He inspired me to be the best that I can be. Through his battle with Lung disease, I saw how the Doctors cared for him in a special way. My father suffered from a stroke that nearly changed his life. Watching him progress and get treated from amazing Doctors opened my eyes. That’s when I realized becoming a Doctor would allow me to care for people the same way my loved ones were cared

I was born in a farming family in a small town in southern India. My father worked in the agricultural field for thirty years.  He realized while he was working that his children should receive the best education as he had faced many problems due to his illiteracy. This motivated my father to give me the best education without which I couldn’t have come this far. When I finished  tenth grade, I had to choose either Mathematics or Biology and I opted for Biology as I had an affinity for science since my childhood. I always stood in the top ten of my class. I pursued my medical education at the distinguished institution, Guntur Medical College. I commenced medical school with the aim of becoming an internist.

I did not always want to be a doctor. My interest grew out of witnessing the suffering that health issues have caused to my loved ones, myself, and even complete strangers. When my mother was diagnosed with diabetes our family was disheartened but in the realisation of the long path that lay ahead in managing her lifelong condition I appreciated the hope that doctors gave us - that things could be better even if they were not perfect. I want to give people that hope, and when I discovered my love for science it was only natural that I felt medicine was the best-suited career for me.

Dr. Nelson, the general practitioner for whom I volunteered for two and a half years, had always told me that the desire to become a doctor must come from deep within. In his office, I took patients’ vital signs and helped them feel more comfortable. I also spent a significant amount of time with Dr. Nelson learning about the physician’s role. He became my mentor. I learned of

Since I was a kid, medicine has always had my attention. I remember that I used to watch documentaries about surgeries and since then I decided that I wanted to be a Doctor when I grow up. Since day one of my decision I knew it’ll take a long time and a lot of determination, and like I managed myself back in high school to learn English and succeed in my classes; I have set my mind to do the same until I reach my goal and become a Doctor. My plan is to Major in

I cannot remember when I began taking an interest in medicine, but the combination between science, passion, and people was the same amalgam that resided in my personality. I began to be involved in numerous science classes, medical organizations, and job shadowing, not for a grade or to build a reputation, but to strengthen my curiosity and myself as a future physician. As I continued on this path, I began to see the disregarded issues in our healthcare system.

I knew that I wanted to be a physician after my first summer of volunteering in the NICU and emergency room. I realized that I want to help people, which is why I continued to volunteer throughout various organization. I want to provide help for ill patients as well as those in good

From a young age, I have said I wanted to be a pediatrician. Over the years, I have explored many career options but I always went back to medicine. Many of the experiences that have since starting college have strengthened my dreams of becoming a doctor and shaped who I am today. These experiences have varied from academic accomplishments to random conversations I have had with many Spartans.

From a young age, my dreams of the future have always focused on a career in the medical field. I would dress up like a doctor and run around putting band aids on everything, filling out charts, and tapping people's knees to check their reflexes. My pediatrician, Dr. Kyle, unfailingly made sure I was comfortable and was capable of helping me calm down when I was worried about getting a shot. She made my yearly check-ups fun and I looked forward to seeing her. She consistently asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up and when I admitted I wanted to be a doctor, she encouraged me to pursue medicine. Initially, I aspired to be an equestrian veterinarian, but realized I would prefer patients who could speak to me and answer my questions. From there my career ambitions flourished and I considered a career as a coroner, anatomy and physiology teacher, and an orthopedic surgeon. Many things have motivated me in pursuing a career in the medical field: personal motivation, life experiences, inspiring teachers, and most importantly, my passion for science.

While growing up, I always wanted to be a mom. I believed I would have the perfect

I knew that one day I 'd become a mother, but didn 't know it would happen so early. I grew up being around children and have many siblings, so I thought that I knew quite a lot already. But, I never really understood why parents are the way they are with their children and why they do what they do. After having children I had undergone many changes and challenges that affected my life, because of the new title I had put on my life list. With that being said, I believe that having kids had a positive and negative effect on my life in so many ways and taught me many things about myself and understand parenting better.

Like every other young person trying to find himself and his purpose in life, I was confused. Being a 15 year old kid, moving from one city to the next after almost every 2 years with my father, everything looked transient and temporary. I had to give up my school, my friends and my comfort zone whenever we had to move. I dreaded it. But my father made me look at it with a whole other perspective. He instilled in me a regard for the constants in one's life and what bigger constant than health and life itself. My father taught me to be committed to whatever I put my mind to. He juggled between an office job, evening classes at the law school, appearing in the judicial exams and then acing them. He is my greatest source of inspiration, strength and virtue. That is why it shook me to my core when I saw him lose all hope when diagnosed with hepatitis only to be rejuvenated later when the doctor assured him to be there for him no matter what. To be able to be there for someone when they are at their most vulnerable and help them through some of the most difficult times of their lives really fascinated me. I saw the healing powers that a doctor's words carry. Amongst all this, I believe being a doctor came naturally to me.

Throughout my life, I have worked towards one goal which is to become a doctor. Medicine offers the opportunity for me to integrate different scopes of science while trying to improve human life. Medicine has intrigued me throughout all my life because it??s a never ending
