Being born in Visakhapatnam, India and blessed to be raised by my a father with the 3D principle: discipline, dedication, dare to do which got entrenched in me quite early and had an impact in every phase of my life. My parent 's focus was always on education because they were not fortuitous enough to get a good college education. The answer to my parent`s question “What is your dream profession?” was a doctor and I never had an answer to the question “What else if not a doctor?”
I was so clear about this because as I grew up listening to the discussion of my family regarding the health emergency as a 30 days old baby. My mother noticed a swelling in the left groin (an inguinal hernia) and rushed to a doctor, where they were

Life in medical school was exhilarated. During the early years of medical school, it turned out to be an obsession to learn physiology and pathophysiology. In medical school, I achieved three silver medals in basic sciences and one bronze medal in pediatrics. When I was posted in Pediatric clinical rotation, I found it challenging since it is the clinical skills of the physician and discernment that plays a vital role in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Further, my interest turned into Neonatology, when I worked as a volunteer in a Cerebral Palsy Center and realized its prevalence in premature babies. I wanted to work towards decreasing the incidence since there is no cure. I cannot describe in words the agony I have seen in the eyes of a parent of a cerebral palsy patient and her helplessness. It was among my top priorities to establish rapport with patients, enlighten them about the basic facts of health and that everything in the human body is in a dynamic relationship. Medicine is a constant advancing field with a scope for clinical science and basic research. The United States being the place where best medical research takes place bringing the advancements into practice. This made me choose the United States as my future destination to pursue my post-graduation. For U.S
In 2012 nearly 205,000 people were employed as a physical therapist in the United States. The average salary of a physical therapist in 2012 was $79,860 per year. The number of jobs is estimated to grow 36% from 2012-2022. This job of physical therapy involves many and very important tasks to fulfill the needs of their patients. It requires many different educational requirements and you must have strong people skills.
I was raised in an encouraging household where both of my parents greatly valued education. Although they were high school graduates, neither could afford to attend college; a combination of family and financial woes ultimately halted their path. As a result, my parents frequently reminded me that getting a good education meant better opportunities for my future. To my parents, that seemed to be the overarching goal: a better life for me than the one they had. My parents wanted me to excel and supported me financially and emotionally of which the former was something their parents were not able to provide. Their desire to facilitate a change in my destiny is one of many essential events that contributed to my world view.
Although more than ten years can pass prior to the moment one first calls oneself a pediatrician, the hard work and dedication pays off when one saves the first life a helpless child. Throughout the long process of applying for school after school, obtaining scholarship after scholarship, and proving one’s medical skill with each and every exam, one must feel true bliss when grasping the newly received medical license in one’s hands. A career in pediatrics will allow one to save the lives of young people who haven’t yet truly lived.
If I had to look back at the elementary school version of myself and someone mentioned the word nurse to me my first thought was that is a girl’s profession. While I was interested in medicine I never knew much about the careers in medicine. I have two older brothers, one become a computer analyst the other a computer programmer and my father was a mechanical engineer. In addition, nobody in my family had been involved in the medical field so I had no one to turn to gain knowledge about careers in medicine. Naturally I wanted to follow in my family’s footsteps so I decided I wanted a career in technology.
For the longest time I could not decide on a major and a career to study throughout college. When I came to Georgia Southern University I discovered that they had a major that was very interesting to me. Sport Management id the ideal major for my interest and me. Since I love sports I figured that this would be the career for me. A degree in Sport Management helps to prepare for success in sport related occupations.
For the first time in my academic and professional career, I am sincerely interested and excited about what is yet to come. This is not to imply that I am displeased with the amount of time it took me to make the decision to pursue medical school After all, there are many people who never end up in a satisfying career. I believe my past experiences are propelling me forward with a sense of enthusiasm and conviction which will translate into the formation of a competent and humane doctor. Perhaps, someday, I will be the anonymous face that helps a twelve year old boy in his time of need.
Furthermore, as I wanted to advance in my career, my family and I came to the United States for a better future. Though I had several obstacles such as language barriers and financial problems, I got accepted to Florida International University with the FIU Academic Achievement scholarship and joined Alpha Epsilon Iota Academic Honor Society, where I gained experience that strengthened my desire to study medicine. Feeling so grateful for the opportunity given to me, I begun to volunteer at Miami Children’s Hospital in the Pediatric Oncology Unit. Working w...
Life goes on as well as we moving on, in order to live a happy life, money, passion, happiness and the meaning of it are essential keys. Among thousands of jobs and over billions of people, having a career or achieving a job is not only important but also competitive. Therefore, deciding what you are going to become has always been the toughest decision in life. I am not talking about Mozart, who was born to play and compose music, or Cristiano Ronaldo who decided to pursue for his career as a football player at the age of 14. I am talking about me and my just-found-out-career in a couple hours earlier, Nursing.
From treating kids to reassuring anxious parents, I have found all aspects of pediatric speciality interesting. During my time with 'shaishav organization ' and ‘Smile foundation’ gave me a strong grounding in many of the roles and responsibilities of pediatrician and has definitely been a life altering experience. I am sure that the skills that I have developed through 'Shaishav’ and ‘Smile’ will be an excellent grounding for my future career. The satisfactions I received knowing that I had made a difference in the lives of so many who were so young and vulnerable went down to my very soul. I knew that pediatrics was where I truly
I have been in the Navy for about three years now, before I was in the navy I worked at a community center as a lifeguard and swim instructor. I worked full time and went to high school, my motivation for getting my degree is I want to get my degree in business management so one day I can own my own bakery. I came to the goal of owning my own shop from being in the military actually, my I love baking and I love to decorate sweets as well.

Education gives people the competence and skills to pilot the world. It also allows people to provide and contribute to their society and community. Like Nelson Mandela said “ Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Similar to our lives, our educational journeys are different from one another. My educational journey was a very complicated journey. My family and mentors supported me, so was able to overcome those obstacles. The biggest motivation that got me through this journey was my father’s courage and love for education.
Health care would be a great career option for almost anyone because one can help a multitude of different people. Health care includes many well paying jobs and the field is growing rapidly, so job security is promising. Not choosing health careers would be a missed opportunity because there are many promising benefits in the field.
Most people imagine their dream job is to become a famous actor or a job they have seen done many times. Though because of the progression of technology I would be more suited in a field involving computers. My dream job is to become a successful software engineer because I have always been into computer systems, but can I fit this job, is the career life something I can manage and what opportunities should I go after when becoming a software engineer. Each time I notice how a program is used I wonder how can I make it become faster or more efficient. When you are using your cell phone or iPad there is usually an update at every month. This is because apple is improving the speed of your applications. A software engineer is sometimes overlooked, but without software engineer’s applications would either crash or would not improve. Although most people may feel looking at a computer all day and trying to fix it is uninteresting, I find it challenging
My dream career is to be a detective. My reason for studying or wanting to be in this career is because I want to help people find what they are looking for. I want to be able to make people smile and be happy. Another reason for me researching this career is because I think it’s a something I would enjoy doing. It’s a job I would want to wake up every morning to do. Yes there are going to be those days were I do not want to wake up and do my job but that’s part of life you have to do thing sometimes you don’t want to do such as wake up to go to school early. I have chosen this career because I like to work with people. In this career you get to work with many different people in your career field. In my career field as a detective I get to work with many people, such as the police officers, S.W.A.T team and at times the C.I.A.
My educational journey has been like a roller coaster. I have been in the worst spot of my life time. Where I hate going to school but, also think about my father education. My career goal is one of my most important in my life to better myself than I am today tomorrow I will better than yesterdays.
