Under the slavery system, she has to work outside from her homeland Barbados, which makes it hardly possible for her to return. “Negro slave enters. Tituba is in her forties.

Now, I know a great deal more on how to become an orthopedic surgeon. It requires different skills, of which the most important ones are how to treat minor injuries, to understand and use medical terms when needed, and to be able to recognize what type of injury the patient has. In my opinion, to become an orthopedic surgeon requires one to be ready and enjoy assisting others . This work experience gave me an opportunity to understand how work is like. I would warmly recommend other students to take this internship, as they would be as welcomed by the doctors as I

Physician Assistants were not common in India when my relative was ill. Most of the hospitals there only had doctors and no PA’s, so we couldn’t do anything but wait for our appointment. We had waited for a month till the doctor was available to treat my

The Dream of a Mom In the 1950s, finding a job, a house, peers, or even food on the table was difficult for most African American fellows. All of these troubles lead back to racism and prejudice against the pigment of some people’s skin. In Lorraine Hansberry’s play, A Raisin in the Sun, Mama goes through many phases of racism and prejudice in Chicago. Along with the rest of her family, she experiences examples of racism, unfair housing regulations, and problems with gender inequality. Though these are hardships that nobody should have to go through, issues involving discrimination and bigotry helped her to realize her dream and defeat the racism that is presented to her.

From the play, we can infer Ruth grew up like any other African American in the mid 1900’s, which was during the civil rights era. Ruth had this bossy yet gentle attitude, however, she was very quiet, well at least when bad things were happening to her family. Ruth, unlike Beneatha Younger, was uneducated. Ruth devoted herself to the family by putting all of the money she earned towards the needs of the family. She was also easily embarrassed and would take responsibility for others’ actions, which was one of the reasons she was so overwhelmed in the play.

Those dreams are reflected on Beneatha, a college student who constantly educates herself to improve her situation in life and achieve her dream, that for a black woman from a poor Chicago’s neighborhood, is nothing but easy. Beneatha is the only family member to have attended college as the Younger family does not belong to a high social class. Nonetheless, even though they have don’t much money, the family makes many financial sacrifices in order to pay Beneatha’s education. However, instead of gracefulness, Beneatha often displays an attitude of superiority towards her family.

At an early stage, women were just “housewives”, they were not allowed to express themselves openly, to compete for academic positions and even more they did not have the right to vote. Still, the start of the twentieth century caused changes in nearly every area of women’s everyday life, from the domestic to the public field. An unprecedented amount of women had begun to work in government from the 1930s. However, these political achievements may additionally have had an important effect on the world’s population, but they had little impact on the enormous majority of American women, who sustained to be the conventional parts as partners of men and mothers. The widespread assumption was that the women have to be at home.

This process of understanding who I am, allowed me to realise that I want to become a clinical psychologist. I developed a clear plan for my volunteer and work experiences and how this has contributed to my skill level. I realised that I wanted to become a clinical psychologist because I want to focus on making effective connections and establish a professional relationship with my future clients. I hope that by establishing a professional connection with my client I would be able to help them with their mental health problems. I wanted to use my ideologies to determine my future direction and I want to keep it aligned with my goals.

These projects gave me an indescribable experience, as a participant, in the discovery process and a newfound appreciation for medical research. As an aspiring future physician, I want to enhance upon the efforts I demonstrated in college by merging the principles I will learn in medicine alongside with those that I have attained in Costa Rica and India. My mission is to change lives. I am not a superhero; I am but one person who believes that the needs of the less fortunate must not be overlooked.

Through this program I hope to learn the fundamentals of community based research, how to advocate for health policy, a most importantly how to educate communities on health. I believe that is the most rewarding thing I can get out of this program. Having the ability, the power, to change someone’s life, by just giving him or her basic health care knowledge is so empowering. Knowing that I changed that life, that because of me hopefully their health will better instead of worsen. Through this program I hope to learn from the community, to learn their experiences, which will allow me to be even more conscious of the disparities they are forced to face, hence causing me to ponder “how can this issue be fixed?”, “what policy can be implemented”?.

His role as an oncologist has profoundly influenced the manner in which I plan to practice medicine in the future: with respect, compassion, and empathy for my patients. It was my observation of his interactions with cancer surviving patients that first inspired me to pursue medicine. These interactions inspired me not only to embark on a profession where I could serve others, but also make a difference in the lives of others. I believe I can make the biggest impact in the lives of my future patients by combining my passion for the clinic and science as a physician-scientist. Though I am early in my medical journey, and am willing to keep an open mind, it is only natural that I yearn to pursue a profession related to oncology.

Morehouse School of Medicine is an appealing option for pursuing my medical education. When reading Morehouse’s mission statement, improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities grasped my attention. My clinical experiences revolve around communities that are underserved, and sharing the same mission as Morehouse is key to becoming the physician I aspire to be. One of the things that stood out to me about Morehouse is the student run Good Samaritan Health Center. I am very interested about being involved with God Samaritan, because it is akin to the Siloam Family Health Center that I volunteer at, and it is an embodiment of Morehouse’s mission.

Serving the underprivileged and underinsured has also always been a particular passion of mine. I feel that the mission, values and visions of the institute that one receives their education from should align closely with their personal beliefs as these are the values that will be taught and form ones character over the duration of the program. Georgetown University’s School of Nursing focuses not only on the individual but also the community as well as being a catalyst for health and social justice as mentioned in the Mission Statement and Vision directly correlate with my personal values and visions. The part that resonates with me the most is the Value of the Common Good which states that there is special emphasis placed on serving the marginalized and underserved. That value is key for me as the want to help the underserved was the primary reason I entered into healthcare.

After I graduate from with an MPH I plan to be certified as a public health professional and I aspire to work for organizations such as Center of Disease Control, World Health Organization, and United States Agency for International Development. I believe that George Washington University/Milken Institute School of Public Health will enable me to reach my goals in life and create a lasting impact in society. GW’s program is one of the leading public health universities in the United States and it would be an honor and an admirable trait to be able to attend and successfully graduate from a school of such prestige. In addition, the online format for the MPH program is conducive and beneficial to my learning experience due to its flexibility and attainability; it allows me to receive quality education while continuing with the rigors of life.
