Most people my age have known what they want to do with their lives for a couple of years. They never really give it much thought or they can’t decide on one thing. Which is fine, but that never was the case for me. I’ve known since I was eleven what I wanted to do with my life and it hasn't changed in six years. If anything I want it more and more each year. I want to go into the medical field and hopefully become a surgeon. There are so many opportunities to help people and yeah it takes a lot of work to get there, but I think it's well worth it. There are many causes for me wanting to be a surgeon. When you are young most parents tell their kids, they can be anything they want like president or an astronaut. My mom wasn't any different, she constantly told me that I was capable of anything even becoming president or an astronaut. I never wanted those things, I just wanted to be able to help people. I would tell my mom that and she would reply by saying there a million of jobs that could allow you to help people. She encouraged me to look into them and she looked into them with me. I remember when we sat down for a whole day after school and she told me about …show more content…
jobs that would allow me to help people and what they required and what the people who actually had those jobs did. She talked about jobs like psychologist, paramedics, social workers, therapist, and a counselor. All those jobs sound really interesting but even back then I was someone who always had a gut feeling about stuff and I tended to follow that feeling so I was waiting for something to stand out and just grab my attention. When she began talking about doctors it's like something just clicked in me and in that moment I knew what I wanted to do. The medical field has so much to offer, but I just saw more opportunities in being a doctor that would allow me to do everything I enjoy and as I got older more and more of those opportunities came to light.
For example, I am someone who loves to travel and likes to absorb different cultures. I think the earth is too big and getting to travel and experience how others live life and what brings them joy and sadness is something that would draw me to any career field. There is one organization doctors without borders which, if I’m fortunate enough to get involved in some day I would be able to help people in countries who don't have many doctors or the resources that we have in America and I would also get the chance to experience their cultures. This job offers me the opportunity to do two things I
love. My desire to want to go into the medical field has had some effects on me. For example, it has made me take school very seriously. Some people my age when I was in a middle school or the first couple of years of high school would say too seriously. It’s like I always say to myself, I won't let anything get in the way of me achieving my goals especially myself. Because of that I push myself to work harder. I also think to myself that I can do better. I do this because I know that if I don’t try my hardest on everything, whether it be school or volunteering or community services then I’ll feel guilty or feel like I didn’t do enough. Another effect is I get some pretty great opportunities already. For example, I’ve attended conferences that allow me to meet other people my age who want to go into the medical field. Also, I have been able to already start helping people a little by volunteering at a hospital and a homeless shelter. Just wanting to reach that goal has had some really good effects on me and what I do. My desire to be a doctor or more specifically a surgeon all came from my mom. Yeah, there were other things that made me want it more, but she was the one who first explained to me what a doctor did and all that they could do. Wanting to go into this field and be able to do everything that I love is my motivation. That motivation makes me work as hard as I can at everything that I do in and out of school so that someday I can achieve my dream. I am currently attending Franklin County Early College and schedule to get my degree in both arts and science. Most people at my school think it’s too much work. They say that I should just choose one and focus on that, but there is a perfectly good reason for me wanting both. Art and science both have a part of
Everyone at one point has to make a decision on what they want to be when they grow up. For me, that decision came rather unexpectedly and was a result of a new found interest due to self-discovery. It all began when I was around the age of 8 and I watched a documentary on aircraft. It documented all about planes, how they work and the science behind them. I was immediately captivated and gaining all that information as a young child really hit the spot in terms of a new found passion and interest that I could see myself later using. This passion stuck with me ever since as I have spent tons of spare time studying different types of aircraft and collecting model planes. It ultimately helped me with my answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up as being an aeronautical engineer. It is not a career most would pursue, but it shows how self-discovery impacted me at a very young age and the impact is so log lasting that it has influenced most of the decision I make now in terms of courses I take at school and the extracurricular activities I am a part of. Without self-discovery, I was able to gain an understanding of where my interests lay, the abilities I have to acquire complex information and the feelings I had towards my new found interest and
From the time a child enters preschool, teachers begin asking a common question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” That dreaded query has always haunted me, mostly because the way it was redundantly asked put a ton of pressure on me and my peers. The question was like a rusty nail being hammered into our head’s by society. I continuously had the cliché answers of becoming a doctor, teacher, or a police officer, but with serious reservations. After years of not having a clue, I started to think about what I like to do after the stresses of work and school were gone at the end of the day.
When people are younger everyone always ask what do you want to be when you are older? Of course when it is children everyone is filled with wonder about their answer whether it’s a model, astronaut, race car driver, etc. Now that I’m older it’s expected for me to know exactly what to do with my life and how to do it. I realized very soon that I sometimes can be an indecisive person when it comes to life-long decisions. This being a huge decision in one’s life you could only imagine how many times I’ve changed my idea on what to go to school for. Although, changing my mind become a norm, I eventually decided a degree in business/marketing is the right path for me. What are my career and educational goals, what will my job would be like, and
When we were little, we thought the word “Career” was not a big deal, but as a senior in high school, the word has become our reality as we start to finish our last semester. The question we’ve been asked all these years is, what do you want to be when you grow up? But our answer is simple: we don’t want to grow up. As an innocent kid it seemed like the time would never come, but it has. It’s time to get serious and really ponder this question.
I remember a time in my life when I would always play with little children. At that point, at the age of six or seven, I decided to become a pediatrician or a kindergarten teacher. When I started high school, I started feeling stressed out because of the pressure that I was doing to myself to reach my goal of becoming a pediatrician. I could hardly focus on the topic we would have during class because I would be thinking about my future as a pediatrician. With the help of my friends, they helped me overcome the obstacles that I had. The more I thought about what profession I wanted to be, I thought about how much I loved working and dealing with computers. My friends and cousins told me that I should and can be what ever I wanted, and that helped me decide to major in computer engineering at San Jose State University. So you see when it comes down to life, dreams are not the only thing that can keep men going, friendships, pets and companionships can do the same.
As we begin to grow up and come to the end of our high school career we must start to begin to start thinking about what type of career we want to be in. It is very important that a person picks the right type of career for them. Otherwise you will be unhappy with what you are doing and will not enjoy it at all. I am not entirely sure what I want my career to be but I have a pretty good idea as to what type of job it will be. I would like to go into the field of a physical therapist and sports medicine, I fell I will enjoy this more than any other type of career just because I already have a lot of interest in it.
A surgical technologist is an adventurous, inspiring, and active job to have, working under the bright lights, wearing masks, strong suction, sharp, shiny tools and most importantly seeing opened life on the operating table with many adventures to come in the operating room.
Many of my friends and even my siblings hadn't figured out exactly what they wanted to do for the rest of their lives, so I felt lucky that I had found my passion. It wasn't until high school when I began to feel more pressure. My freshman year, I was still determined to go to vet school. I had even taken two veterinarian camps in previous summers so that I could gain more experience. My fellow peers began comparing vocation possibilities based on every possible
If I had a nickel for everytime an adult asked me what I wanted to do for the rest of my life; needless to say I would not be worried about a thing. Teens tend to get easily frustrated with this question, but we never realize the importance of it. The truth is, we too ask ourselves this question and for whatever reason, maybe it's our youth or our short attention spans, we can not even give ourselves an answer. A couple years ago, I was this such teen. I was backed into a corner; my grandparents had just asked me this infamous question. For once, I actually thought about it and I spouted out, "Well, Pop Pop... Mamaw, I am going to be a poltician." I was the cause for many "jaw-droppings" that day, but I felt too excited to worry with that. I finally knew what I wanted to be, and oh, how I wanted to be a poltician so badly. For a teen, I guess it is rather odd that I chose this career, but there are many reasons that transformed a twelve year old, who still stubbornly believed in leprechauns, into the passionate young woman, whom I know today.
Throughout most of my life I have had an immense passion for medicine and more specifically in neuroscience. It is this interest that has motivated me in my endeavor to go into the field of neurosurgery. The combination of my yearning to help people on a smaller individual scale and my interests has made this aspiration of mine surefire since the age of twelve. However, before I discovered my love of medicine, I had an interest in the field of science in its entirety. My young mind was curious and I found a more particular interest in a subset of science that all children marvel at, in the form of dinosaurs, paleontology.
I want to be nothing else but a doctor. I have a thirst for medical challenge, a blazing love for science and human body, and a burning passion to succeed. Most importantly, I have a strong eagerness to make remarkable changes to my life, and the lives of other people. Medicine is both dynamic and centred on a strong scientific background, allowing me to understand and apply medical findings to improve the lives of patients in my care. I believe there is no greater joy than managing to help an extremely ill patient get better, and I would like to bring hope to patients.
As a senior in high school many students ponder the big question of life that seems to be asked by many. No that question is not where do you want to go to college, what are you doing after high school, that question would be where do you see yourself in ten years. As I reflect on my childhood I have many dreams and aspirations that I would like to accomplish within the next ten years of my life. In ten years I can see myself having many of my goal accomplished, if not accomplished, I will be working on accomplishing those goals to fulfill my life.
There are currently many major problems that the world is facing which could be easily solved if people lived up to their passion and accept the fact that everybody has something to bring to the table. One of the main problems to me is the health system around the world. We are evolving into a world where money is more important than fulfilling the fundamental needs of every living being. When choosing a career, I believe that the contribution to the current society and the next generations is more important than social status or the annual income. My true passion is helping and healing people, which is why I've come to love medicine.
All in all being a surgeon has been a lifelong dream of mine. As a surgeon you must be prepared for anything every single day of every single year. Some may be able to handle that others might not. Surgeons may arguably have the hardest, most stressful job. They have another person’s life in their hands and that person may live or die based on the actions of that surgeon. The work is tuff, the education is rougher but being able to withstand all that, and fighting each and every day to reach my ultimate goal is well worth it. Once I start I won’t turn back, being a surgeon is what I want to do, since I’ve started highs school I have had my eyes set on this job and giving up isn’t a option. After learning all these things I have, I want to be a surgeon. This job saves lives and being able to do that will make my life worth wild.
I would spend hours watching surgeries on YouTube. I watched tumor removals to breast implants to leg amputations. That class made me realize that becoming a surgeon was my purpose in life. After having a glimpse into the life of a surgeon, I knew that I couldn’t pursue anything else. I would do whatever it takes to get
