    Introduction I have a dream of serving others in great times of need. To fully commit to this dream, I believe that I will be best suited to begin this journey when I enter retirement. After some critical comparison between the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the American Red Cross, I have found that the Red Cross is a most versatile organization with opportunities to serve every day. Both organizations are incredible humanitarian programs, but when comparing the two as if I were a retiree, I found that the Red Cross has many more everyday programs, whereas FEMA seemed more like beginning a second career.

    Thank you for taking the time to review my personal statement on why I have chosen to embark on the journey to become a Physician Assistant. My story started several years ago, more than I care to count, when I stumbled into the health care world as a paramedic in rural Pennsylvanian.

After hearing their stories about the things they were learning and doing I also joined a volunteer fire department, mostly out of curiosity. Over the course of a couple of years I discovered that the challenges that I encountered during training and responding to emergencies had unlocked some unrealized, more like unknown, drive inside

    I applied to volunteer because I knew that I was going to need the experience in the future. Even at 13 I was sure that I enjoyed the medical field and wanted to pursue it as a career. The process was made easier due to my connections in the hospital; my mother was the head nurse of the Women’s Health clinic, and the head of the Red Cross office was a friend of ours. I loved every second of volunteering and spent at least three eight-hour days there every week for the entire summer from 2012 to 2014. At the end of each summer I had logged at least 100 volunteer hours and been given the opportunity to make connections in the hospital as well as view procedures in various

    During this time, I noticed the difference in care provided between the doctor and the nurse. The nurse offered a more trusting relationship, emphasized the use of holistic care, and provided empathy, which was much appreciated. Thereafter, I began volunteering at Lowell General Hospital and experienced my own interpersonal relationships with the outpatients. I felt truly satisfied during my time there, as I was able to apply my values and experience the gratitude and warmth that radiated from each patient that I helped. Therefore, I chose to pursue a career in nursing, as it is similarly based on my own beliefs and makes me feel like I make a difference in the lives of every person that

    Often in life, we come across situations that may stretch us and challenge us, finding ourselves forced to get out of our comfort zone. Volunteering is definitely not for everyone, people may not have the adequate time, confidence, knowledge. But that does not mean you avoid the situation at all times, you must allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone and experience things that you would never think about doing. On the first week of volunteering it was a bit intense for me, as I found it difficult and little bit sad to watch the women living the way they do, for some reason I felt that they were always missing their children and grandchildren. Some of the residents did not even have family so they never got visitations.
