'To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.' – Ralph Waldo Emerson
The tribulations I have overcome in my life have manifested in the compassion, empathy, and courage that is embedded in my personality. Growing up, nothing in my personal, academic, or volunteer experiences have shaken my single-minded commitment to become a physician. Even the most emotionally draining experiences that life has put me through have not changed my passion and have only added fuel to my intense desire to be a part of a profession dedicated to helping others by facilitating people to live happier and healthier lives. Through losing a grandfather to cancer whom I was never able to meet, to witnessing my uncle struggle to breathe on his own due to ALS, to living through a g
...lobal pandemic, my appreciation and admiration has grown for the medical field.
During the last six months of my senior year, I have been planning out my future goals and have given this question considerable thought. The saying “time flies” is more than true. With a blink of an eye, a decade has gone by. However, ten years is not a short period of time. Born three months after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, America was still on edge, vulnerable, and in dire need of doctors. Following the attacks, hospitals in NYC were flooded with patients as frantic doctors help wounded victims. Flash forward to 2020, the most life changing year of my life, the world is hit by a global pandemic: the coronavirus. This global tragedy succeeds in bleeding into every aspect of people's lives—young or old, affecting
all people, especially me. This is my why. The world needs more doctors in times of crisis. In ten years, I envision myself serving to better the quality of life of people through healthcare as a resident physician whether it is to help bring new life into the world and experience that special moment when a mother meets her newborn for the first time or to find a cure to ALS, my calling in life is to help people through my passion—medicine.
As a future physician, I have always been extremely intrigued by the dedication, competence, and compassion seen in medical doctors. I hope to make my mark on the world by adding to the multifunctional role of a physician. I do not want to be just a doctor that “heals people”. I want to be an innovator, leader, and a hero. My motives to become a physician are deeply seeded in my innate personality, and I will use that to fuel the power to heal the wounded and offer hope. To know even one life has been improved by my efforts affords me immense gratification and reassurance that I made an impact on the world.
