482 Words1 Page

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.

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.

When I discuss becoming a doctor with others, I hear that it takes too long. People became so focused on the length of time that they forget the true meaning of things, not realizing that time is everything that we have yet, do not have.

One of them is going to college. I am originally from Haiti and recently, my parents decided to send me to the United States to study because there is more opportunity here than in my homeland. I always loved to learn, therefore, when I came here for my senior year, I obtained a 4.0 GPA. Also, during my first semester in college, I obtained a 3.46 GPA. Being a student who pays out of pocket, I try to look for scholarships or aid to pay for school since my parents must pay also for my little siblings' school year in Haiti. I do not have any prior work experience, however, the amount of volunteering and babysitting that I do, largely make up for that. Receiving a scholarship would mean a lot to me because it would be one less child to support financially for my parents. I would work harder to maintain my good grades to get into medical school and later on to be able to help and repay my parents for all they have done for

    Growing up in rural Texas, you have to learn to care for the things that are important to you. There really is not much to entertain yourself with so many adolescents become vulnerable to trouble. Luckily for me, I grew up with the responsibilities that came with growing up on a farm. I had things to care for on a daily basis and for the longest time, the things I cared for most were animals. I exhibited livestock in my youth and this is where I spent the majority of my time. I would come home from football or basketball practice and go straight up to the barn to tend to my animals. Along with feeding and cleaning, I would often administer vaccinations and antibiotics when needed. Because of my interest in medicine and science coupled with my love for animals some could say that I was destined to become veterinarian. The major I chose, animal science, even supported that notion. However, it was not until the summer after my freshman year of undergraduate where I realized it was human medicine that my heart was yearning for.

But it was not until I read the lines of perplexity and distress on an Alzheimer’s patient’s brow as he grasped for the name of his year-old grandchild, that I was shook with the realization that I had been taking even the smallest of my memories and experiences for granted. That humbling term at my local memory care facility became yet another defining experience for me. It powered my passion for medicine and neurology, as well as my commitment to dedicating my life

    College is quickly approaching, so it is time I finalize what I want to do with my future. I have always wanted to be a nurse, but being a physician’s assistant has recently caught my eye.

Becoming a physician assistant required less schooling than becoming a doctor did, and yet they still get to perform a lot of the same responsibilities as doctors do. Less school also means paying less money to go to school- a very enticing piece of the puzzle. Furthermore, I wanted to have a family in the future didn’t I? Doc reminded me how long and intense medical school could be and pointed out the difficulty of growing and having a life outside of school and, in the future, work. After this conversation, my mind was changed. I decided to become a physician

My journey was started growing up in a small town of India with different but significant healthcare needs and limited availability of resources. During the school life, I was always attracted towards human biology. As a young student, I was very curious and used to ask many questions, and my teachers always explained every principle by scientific reasoning and rational thinking.
