A Career In Medical Terminology
The first time I thought of being in the medical field was in second grade. Since then, I have been working toward a life fulfilled by compassion and helping one another. When I reached high school, I made a decision to go to Veterans Tribute Career and Technical Academy, which specializes in the study of emergency medical services and law enforcement.

    In the lead up to the Civil War tensions between the North and the South had risen to extreme levels. This was due to the constant arguments about states rights versus the powers of the federal government, a big factor being slavery.

    When I was a young child, I witnessed my sister receiving stitches on her head. We were jumping on my bed when she fell and hit her head on the headboard. I was inspired by the medical professionals who treated her. Although this was a traumatic experience, it helped shape my aspiration to help others. Serving and improving the lives of others is a fundamental duty that I believe should be a part of everyone’s personal mission. Working in healthcare is the path that I discovered as an ideal way to accomplish this goal of service. In particular, I intend to eventually become an anesthesiologist where I will assist patients during medical procedures.…
