And honestly, I do not even like children enough to have this as a lifetime career. After all, this is what this project was supposed to help me with. Making a decision on a career. I think the next step in my journey would be to do a lot of research on other careers and compare them, because I do not really have much time left, if I want to take classes in high school for whatever I end up choosing to pursue. I am still glad to have carried out this research because if I had not, I would have gone into this field of pediatrics blindly and finding out I do not enjoy at
As a child of two nurses, I have always been partial to the medical field. I have chosen to pursue physician assistant studies because of the responsibilities the position holds, such as examining and diagnosing patients and giving treatments. The career stability is also an aspect that draws my attention to the profession. The healthcare field, while stable, is always evolving; new technologies, procedures, treatments, and even discoveries of diseases have those working in the field constantly learning and experiencing something for the first time. I require a challenging professional career, and I believe this field will provide that.
I absolutely love the science aspect of it and I just have a passion in my heart that it's telling me this is it. At the end of middle school and high school, I volunteered at 3 different departments of 3 different Elliot Hospitals. I wanted to get a feel of being in the hospital and I wanted to imagine if I could see myself in the medical field for the next 10 years.
In third grade, I was assigned to create a project illustrating what I wanted to be when I grew up. At this time, due to my positive experiences with doctors and my desire to help others, especially children, I decided to describe the role of a pediatrician as my future career. Throughout my childhood, whenever asked about my future aspirations, I confidently declared that I would attend medical school and become a pediatrician. However, as I developed, the answer to this question slowly began to evolve as I gained a deeper understanding of my values and the people I desired to serve through medicine.
For the past 18 years I wanted to do something practical and respected. Belonging to the model minority emphasized that belief even more. Due to those factors, I wanted to be an otolaryngologist specializing in laryngology. I thought this way I could get somewhat close to my passion of singing while raking in the prestige and cash. So then I decided to apply to schools with strong pre-med programs, but I also kept in mind my love for music, resulting in me applying to numerous liberal arts colleges.
A cube seen from only one side is a square. I have spent twelve years of my life in the same institution and had a small but well-loved group of friends. In contrast, a close friend of mine attended three different schools in the same time, and I saw how that affected him, he was more social, friendly and empathetic. Looking back I now realize that I need to learn how to be more outgoing to better my communication skills as life presents us new challenges and working well with others is an integral part to solving them. I came to the United States to both see the world from another perspective and reflect upon the different ideologies and thought processes that have developed in the presence of such a great number of differing cultures.
If you asked me “What do you want to be when you grow up?” at the age of 5, I’d tell you I wanted to be a vet. At the age of 10, I would have replied “a doctor”. At 15, I would've said nurse. Now, at 18 years old, I have the dream of becoming a physician assistant.
As a child I spent a lot of time in hospitals, that is where my interest in medicine first started. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 10. I loved the time the nurses were able to spend with me. I loved that every day was a new challenge, no two days were ever the same. I loved learning how the body worked and changed over time.
When I was younger, my “when I grow up” job was to become a doctor. At some point around time, I wanted to help people and make the world a better place in some way, shape or form. I wanted to help people and make the world a better place in some way, shape or form. Even though my career path has changed slightly along the way, I believe that mindset of wanting to help people (especially health-wise) has stuck with me through all these years. When I heard that there was such a thing as a Physician Assistant, I immediately wanted to learn more about it.
On Monday December 7, 2015 I was given the opportunity to interview a lovely lady who enjoys her job tremendously. Upon asking her the questions or prompts I found that this job like that of being a teacher can be a very rewarding and uplifting career. Although the path to this career will be a long and strenuous work load the final reward working with families about to lose a loved one will be fulfilling. In this career you must have a strong heart, being open to listening and putting your own feelings aside to help others.
I want to be a physician because I want people to grow old. At the age of 6, one of my closest friends was diagnosed with leukemia. By age 8, the disease claimed his life, robbing him of the opportunity to experience the privilege of growing old. Unfortunately, we live in a society of vanity. We see the process of aging and choose not to embrace it.
I have always, like my dad, wanted to major in something in the medical field. Another reason why I want to become a nurse practitioner is that I have always had a passion about helping others. With this job I can communicate with the patients in their times of intense physical and mental sufferings. For example, If my patients are scared of getting a surgery, I could educate them that surgery is not always a bad choice. I would explain the procedure of the operation in a way that they could fully comprehend.
The tiny humans, who advocates for them when they are ill? Who stands up for them when no adult is around to speak for them? A pediatric surgeons job is not only to treat their patient's illness but to advocate for the children who are too small to stand up for themselves. The way to make the world a better place is to begin with yourself. A method in which I will contribute to society and make an impact by becoming a pediatric surgeon.
People need to learn the real meaning of success which means accomplishing personal goals as compared to the myth of following other people’s story of
One of my future goals and the most important one is to become a doctor. It is my life dream, and the only thing I am seeking for. Doctor is someone capable to save and help others life in ways that are not possible in other careers. Being a doctor for me is not just like any job, it is achieving a dream I have since I was 6 years old. One of the main reasons I picked this major is my family; my family members are almost all doctors, and my dad too.
