Personal Statement

When I was two years old, my late grandma had Parkinson’s disease. During that time I would always “doctor” her and give her “shots.” Her nurses had little Scrubs made for me and I would always wear them. So the idea of pursuing the medical field had been gestating within me at an early age, and that is something I still aspire to do.

Doctors are the reason people are living longer and living healthier. People who are cancer survivors, like my mother and aunt, owe their survival to the doctors, researchers, and nurses who treated them.As a doctor I would like to make an impact on people and their lives. I want to be the reason someone is able to live another day.

When a new epidemic occurs, the information provided by doctors and researchers can help the outbreak be contained. Everyday doctors find the cures to diseases thought to be incurable. The medical field is constantly discovering and improving new medicines and treatments

I want ot be a part of an advocacy group that focuses on health care issues. I would want o work together with others to distribute information about living healthier lifestyles. I would go on mission trips as a volunteer to help with natural disaster victims and aid anyone who needed medical care. I aspire to help ease the suffering of people, so they can go on and rebuild their communities and their lives. I believe that it is the sympathy and compassion doctors show that truly impact people. I hear people say that in the future doctors will no longer be needed because we will have machines that will be able to do their job for them. I personally disagree because a machine will not be able to comfort a patient or their loved ones. Doctors will always be considered indispensable to the
