Becoming A Radiography
At an early age in life I knew that I loved to help others, had an interest for Health, and a heart full of compassion. All of these characteristics influenced my interest in becoming a radiographer. It mattered to me, everyone deserved a second chance at health.
It wasn’t until my friend critically fell, crying in excruciating pain that I realized, “this is what I want to do.” I knew something was wrong and tried everything in my power to do what I could to help.
Along with helping others, my interest for health peeked my appeal in becoming a Radiographer as well. Although I knew helping people was what I wanted to do, I was not certain on what it was in the health field I had the potential to be. Then it dawned on me, I was profoundly intrigued

    I have chosen this career path for the patients. I have chosen this career because it is two paths that I can switch back and forth from, cardiac and pregnancy. I can go to school for Diagnostic Medical Sonography, then at the end of my four years, I can either go into cardiac sonography or pregnancy sonography. I could also be on a rotation so I will be able to do both things that I would enjoy. Being able to take this career path will give me confidence that I can do something that has never been done in my family. My mom and stepdad, stepmom and dad, have never been to college. So completely college and going into a career that I want to pursue means a lot. I am so ecstatic to show my mom she did raise me right. My mom and Stepdad are my…

    In addition, my employment experience has provided me with great respect for social and ethical views that differ from my own. This position has given me the opportunity to decide if a career in medicine is truly where I would like to be. Working at the hospital has been a truly challenging experience through dealing with the magnitude of death, illness, and recovery. This experience has made me realize that a career in medicine is where I need to be. I have experienced a multitude of emotions and in the end I have realized that the reward of knowing that a life was saved or that through the death of a patient, we have made groundbreaking discoveries in medicine is far greater than the emotional tensity associated with the experience.…

    The reason why I want to become a medical sonographer is because I want to help people who want to know what’s going on in their bodies and help them with their lives in general. From finding tumors or any abnormalities in the body to seeing the developments of soon-to-be born children of expectant mothers. How I got informed about medical sonography was back in junior year of high school. For my continuing science class for that year, I chose human anatomy and physiology. During that time, my teacher wanted to show her class a paper which had different professions in the medical field. She thought it would be great for us to know what kind of options are there but also she wanted to show the seniors what kind of careers they should to take…

    There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…

I am glad that I spent enough time in researching those career paths that I had absolutely no hesitation or distraction when I started pursuing my career in medicine. Today, I can say that pediatrics is my only career interest.…
