Why I Want To Study Pre-Med

Going off to college, I hope to pursue a major in biology and gain more experience in research labs. I want to explore different genes within various organisms and learn about their intersectional functions. I hope to understand how to enhance or reduce a gene’s expression in order to repress diseases within the human body. After college I will go to medical school and obtain my Doctor of Medicine degree and later pursue a PhD. In the future, I hope to open a research clinic that allows scientists from diverse fields to work together and develop cures for different diseases.

In order to continue working toward turning my vision into reality, I plan to keep working hard in everything that I do. Pushing myself to limits I’ve never thought of will allow me to reach my goals. I will go to the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville

When I graduate for high school I want to go to East Carolina University to become a doctor, because the school is home plus it is one of the best schools that have a medical program, and I can work with babies and young people. I also want to have a small family and get married. I would like to have two kids, one a girl, one a boy or twins. I want to have a better life then what I grew up too plus giving them things that I didn't have. Also be a good role model to my younger brothers. To show them that anything is

After graduating from the University of North Alabama, I plan to attend Medical School at either the University of South Alabama or the University of Alabama at Birmingham. After attending Medical School and my four year Residency, I plan to be a Resident for three more years so that I may specialize in Obstetrics and Gynecology/Fetal and Maternal Medicine. As an Doctor, I want to open my own practice and experience the joy of bringing life into this world. I believe that every unborn baby should have a fare chance at life and I know with the help of these scholarships, I can make my goals into a reality.

I want to be a physician, so I plan to be pre-med in college, and then I will either go straight into medical school or enter an MD/PhD program. I am applying for the Chris Hoffmann Memorial Scholarship to help reduce the amount of debt I will acquire throughout these years of higher education. Helping people gives me purpose, so I will devote the rest of my life to helping people by becoming a physician, volunteering, and doing anything I can. I try to incorporate helping people into every facet of my life, and I have an especially strong love of family.

Many people have influenced me in an important way. One person is Mrs. McGough. She has influenced me in that she made me sure I wanted to be a teacher. I have always loved kids and school, and I wanted to make it fun for kids because so many of my friends don’t like school. I’ve wanted to be a teacher since I was little; she made me sure.

My reading teacher in 8th grade, Jennifer Burrows, has inspired me to be a better person and to thank God everyday for what I have. She most likely does not even know that she has inspired me because she inspired me just by me watching her. Seeing her everyday my 8th grade year was probably one of the most inspirational things to me.

I have always been astonished over the capabilities of the human body, and the obstacles that can be overcome in unpropitious circumstances. My lifetime goal is to work in the Premedical to improve the way we live life. The best way I am currently preparing myself is by joining clubs and keeping my grades up to be able to work towards a Pre-Medical degree. I will then use the knowledge I have gained from the degree to do research in the near future. I do my best to take classes that reflect my curiosity towards the human body, and what we can do to improve or repair it. Throughout my high school career, I have, or I am currently taking classes that will help me to prepare for the ever expanding Pre-Medicine or Chemical Engineering field. The classes I have taken, or I am currently taking includes:Principal of Medical Science, Anatomy and Physiology, Medical terminology, Pathophysiology, Microbiology and AP Psychology.

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.

What teacher has had the most positive influence on me was Mr. Edwards. To start he got me to get out of my shell when I was in 9th grade. He always told me to challenge myself. Also to try new and scary things then never to give up and keep trying.He also influenced me to not always rely on other people I always had that problem when I was a child. He told me one day you parents won't be around to help you all the time you have to be your own woman or man someday it's gonna come whether you like it or not . He also influenced me to become a teacher why because all his students love him to death he is a dad to a lot of his kids including me . I want to have my kids to be able to come to me about anything and think of me not just as a teacher

I recall my fifth grade teacher Mrs. Friedman, who was much more than just a superior figure to me. Most people do not remember anything that they learned before high school, let alone elementary school; but Mrs. Friedman broke that cycle. That year I became a better and more motivated student. For example, my school used Accelerated Reader to motivate students to read books by holding a competition each quarter to see who read the most books. I never payed much attention to A.R. reading because I knew I was only doing it for the grade. When Mrs. Friedman realized I was not participating as frequently as other students, she taught me a valuable lesson. She explained that reading is fundamental to acquiring knowledge and without reading it would be difficult to learn at the same pace as other students. She introduced me to different genres of books and roamed the aisles of the library by my side until I had chosen something to read. She motivated me to finish a long book that I would have never picked up a year earlier. Every day she encouraged me to finish a few more pages instead of giving up and would ask me to explain what I had read that day and my feelings about it. If it were not for her, I would not be in love with reading books as I am today. Actions like these are what make a teacher

From my years in elementary school, middle school, and now high school, I have had many different teachers who have an impact on my life and my educational growth. There's one teacher though, who went above and beyond any other teacher I have had and that's why she had such a great impact on my learning ability.

Currently I am a Biology Pre-Med major. After graduating, I hope to continue my education and go to medical school to become a doctor. I have always loved learning about the human body and how it works, which makes biology fascinating to me, but I also hope to be able to help many people. The medical field is making numerous advances in combating certain diseases and improving patient care, and I would love to be a part of helping these advances. Though I know I want to become a doctor, I do not know what type. I have considered becoming a radiologist and a pediatrician. I believe both could make me happy, but for now I will continue to research and think about it.

One person who has made an impact on my education is Mrs. Worley. Freshman year my science classes got messed up and I had to take General Physical science with Mrs. Worley. I was supposed to be taking Principles of Science like the rest of my classmates. As someone who is typically good at science, I was confused as to why I was in a general science class. In my previous science class 8th grade year, I felt as if my teacher thought I was stupid. I had explained to her that I did not have internet connection at home and the library was not in walking distance from my home at the time. She would assign online activities very often that I was not able to complete as homework. I vividly remember her saying “Well, that’s not my problem”. As a younger child, I was confused as to why she was not trying to help me to the best of her abilities.

As a child, people have different dreams and interests. When asked what they want to be when they grow up, everyone has different answers. Whenever I was asked this question, I always answered that I want to become a doctor. I always wanted the medical kits and doctor play sets as a child. It was my dream as a child to become a doctor. As I grew older, I started looking into different types of medical fields, to see what interests me more and if I can actually handle the pressure and difficulties of this profession. I am planning to become a Cardiothoracic Surgeon as heart always fascinated me as it is a small organ that we depend on and its ability to function determines our lives.
