Aspiration

There’s so many obstacles I’ve had to overcome. People have always doubted my success, due to my background. Yet, I’ve done nothing than prove their state of mind wrong. I’m a first generation student through high school to college. My aspiration is to be successful and be the leader in the pact. Therefore, I believe that Texas Tech is best choice I can ever make. If they accept me, that’s even better. The reason why, is because I want to go study in a place that will take me away from all the

I considered that it was in the community I know and love, it was clearly a top ranked program, and it would let me become something I’d always dreamed of being--a Jayhawk! As the time got closer to when I would have to make my final decision on where to apply, I became close to a student who was enrolled in the KU MOT program

While serving as a Cavalry Scout I chose to shift my focus to better utilize my leadership abilities and become a U.S. Army Warrant Officer. By earning the rank of Sergeant I developed into a very compete young leader. I have much potential and want to serve as a U.S. Army Warrant Officer. My dream is to be a U.S. Army Aviator. When I first served with Warrant Officers while deployed to Iraq, I knew that is where I wanted to take my career. To be able to lead not only from the front, but to demonstrate

Throughout my life, I have had an obsession with learning; I can sit for hours at a time and read books about all kinds of different things that will probably serve no purpose in my life. One day when I was around twelve years old, I started reading an interactive book about the human body. Mesmerized does not even begin to describe my relationship with that book. I have always dreamed of having a career that will require a lifelong pursuit of knowledge; medicine is constantly evolving and diseases

renowned pieces of arts by well-known artists. One painting really stood out to me called Aspiration by Aaron Douglas. The painting highlights dream of freedom for number of people during the Renaissance era. It also shows the struggle of African American community in the United States. Some of the struggles and sacrifices made by individuals has really helped shaped our country’s future for new generations. Aspiration is by Aaron Douglas (1899-1979), a Kansas native and an African American painter. He

blockage of the bowel or perforation of the bowel may occur. Diarrhea from the feeding formula is fairly common. Aspiration pneumonia is also common and if the person requires restraints to keep from pulling the tube out, the same complications listed above can occur. There is no good evidence that demonstrates that gastrostomy tubes, or tubes into the small intestine, prevent aspiration pneumonia in a person who has difficulty swallowing. In fact, there is good evidence in persons with advanced Alzheimer’s

Mark Twain once said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you figure out why.” Personally, the second day came when I discovered the physician assistant profession and subsequently the Master of Physician Assistant program at MCPHS University. From then on all of my life experiences as an EMT, shadowing, and working have fervently inspired me to become the best possible physician assistant I can be. In order to prepare myself for my future as a physician
