College to earn my Associates Degree in Medical Assisting. Once, I graduated from the Medical Assisting program in 2013. I worked in home health taking care of a patient, who was shut-in for a little over a year. I got my current job at EMMC in the Neurosurgery and Spine Specialist office, where I help to take care of patients with trauma, tumors, vascular disorders, spine, stroke, and degenerative diseases.

Hardworking, goal-driven, highly motivated, self-starting and ambitious are character traits I have used to navigate a path in medicine toward neurosurgery. Early in medical school, I was fascinated by the brain anatomy and physiology and the way that neural networks harmoniously integrate together to produce consciousness, intelligence and emotions. Following neuroanatomy course, I became a teaching assistant in the neuroanatomy lab, a position that I held for 4 years through the end of medical

Choosing Courage Through the means of books, movies, television, and everyday encounters, courage is shown in many ways throughout life. Wondering how my peers defined this abstract term pushed me to question some of them. The first three people I asked said “courage is persisting through something even though it seems impossible.” My research found this to be the most common response from teenagers because it can be applied in many parts of life–meaning it must be relatable–and is easy to comprehend

But she refused to give up; she was then accepted as a surgical intern at the Yale-New Have Hospital. She went there after graduating, cum laude, from medical school in 1975.

increasing the availability of need and the need for prompt payment after services, “several large life insurance companies entered the health insurance field in the 1930’s and 1940’s as the popularity of health insurance increased” (Northern California Neurosurgery Medical Group, Inc).

Neurosurgeons treat the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and their surrounding structures (Neurosurgery Wins). Neurosurgery is for individuals who find the human brain fascinating. Neurosurgeons have to make difficult decisions regarding the most vital functions of the brain and spinal cord such as the ability to think, speak, see, move, and feel (Neurological

Shadowing the surgeons has given me a hands-on perspective of surgery and has evoked a desire to pursue neurosurgery. Volunteering at the hospital has evoked in me a fondness for the environment present at hospitals and for the care and hospitality that pervades those facilities, an environment that I want to be a part of in the future as a surgeon. The experience
