825 Words4 Pages

My admiration for medicine began when I was 8 years old. When a friend dared me to insert my foot in the tire of a moving vehicle and as the blood dripped from my foot along the 20 min drive from school all I could think of was how to stop the bleeding so I would not be yelled at by my mom. Once I got home we tried everything we could but the bleeding never stopped. I was in pain, but all I could notice was how worried my mom was and what could comfort her.
