My Most Influential People In Life
What aspects of your life experiences do you think make you a good candidate for medical school?

I have worked in the medical field for a combined total of 5 years now and the number one thing that patients and staff tells me most is that I have such a kind heart. I genuinely love getting to know and help each and every patient. Providing the best care so that people feel not only well taken care of, but loved, is very important to me.

Who are the three most influential people in your life?

My mother, grandmother, and father are the most influential people in my life because they have each had to sacrifice so much financially, physically, and mentally to get me to the point I am at today. They are always motivating me to follow my dreams

    The most influential person in my life would have to be my sister. We have watched each other struggle and we have watched each other triumph. Growing up, the odds were always against us. My sister has always reminded me that no matter how difficult the world is we will make it. She has never allowed me to give up, and has always been that motivational voice in my head that tells me to push forward. Last year, my sister achieved her goal of going to college. She turned to me, and said that I am next, words that are forever in my mind.…

    I am not your traditional medical school applicant. I do not have a 4.0 at a fancy big U nor have I helped helpless African children fight malaria, which is a goal of mine, but I digress. I did not make the best choices when I was younger and did not realize my full potential until the age of 21. I attended a semester at a party school when I was 18 and convinced myself school was not for me, when in fact, it was just an excuse to coast by. I never challenged myself at the awkward age 16-20 years old. I waited tables, worked in a warehouse, and did part time labor-intensive work to pay the rent and bills. I did enough just enough to get by. However, when I was 20, everything came into perspective. I was at a party having a great time with my best friend; I was in Louisiana at the time and as they say, “laissez les bon temps rouler”, translated, let the good times roll. That quickly changed. My best friend had a 5-minute long seizure, as everyone looked dumbfounded around him; I quickly took action, put him on his side and called 911. After a couple hours in the waiting room, two doctors…

    I have had multiple influential people in my life, but I'm not going to say my parents or a great teacher, but rather someone closer to my age. Andrew Calton, a good friend and great influence. Andrew helped me “get back on my feet” when I was scared to kayak. I would stay on the lake and not go on rivers because I had no confidence in myself. Late at night he and Jack White, another good friend, came to my cabin at camp and told me there was a spot on a trip and he wanted me to go. I went on the trip and the fact that they wanted me to go boosted my confidence. We went on harder rivers I had never been on and I did not swim, or bail out of by boat once.…

    The journey to medical school has by no means been an effortless one. Choosing the non-traditional route to complete my studies has not only equipped me with the maturity necessary to excel in medical school, but also the knowledge required to overcome the challenges I may encounter during my journey. Upon completing my undergraduate studies at FSU, I subsequently went on to complete additional post baccalaureate science courses at both Miami Dade College and Florida International University. Also, I have recently completed my Masters degree in Biomedical Science at Barry University. During my undergraduate and graduate years, I maintained full time employment, which has taught me the art of time management; a trait I believe will be essential to my success while in…

    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…

    “Those that make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” President John F. Kennedy understood the importance of nonviolent protest as a vital component in a democracy. From the founders and the philosophy that went into our founding documents to this very day we can see that peaceful demonstrations against unjust laws or governmental actions have brought about great change and ultimately a healthier climate in society. Peaceful resistance to laws demonstrates the strength of a free society in that the government responds to such protests and that the people do not jump immediately to violence.…

    I studied politics with the intention of joining the military; however, shortly after graduating, I was diagnosed with a medical condition which, although it does not hinder me in any way, prevented me from doing so. Following this, I decided to pursue my interest in health care and began working at my local hospital. I enjoy working as part of the multi-disciplinary team and take great satisfaction in contributing to the recovery of each patient. My primary motivations for wanting to study medicine are that I wish to be a more significant part of the medical team and be proactive in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. I consider myself to be an excellent candidate because I am hard-working, have an enquiring mind, a positive attitude, and possess many other skills which I have seen to be essential for practising medicine.…

    I believe I’m suited for a medical career because I am compassionate and I want to lift other people up. As a doctor, I would not only want to treat patients, but also communicate with them, and ultimately support and empower them to make the most of their lives. As someone with a relapse-remitting disease, I know how important it is to patients to have some amount of control and understanding in their lives when they are faced with illness.…

    I’ve learned through the eyes of my mother that life isn’t easy. My mother has come a long way after losing her mother at a very young age and growing up with her father and grandmother and five siblings, one being a twin. My mom’s dad had to make sacrifices while raising my mom and her siblings; it wasn’t easy growing up without her mother, my mom put herself through college with the help of her dad. My mom has a successful career and is married and is raising a happy family. Initially I thought of a celebrity as a person with the most influence in my life, but as I thought about it, I realized my mother has had the most influence in my life, always smiling, laughing and having fun. When my mother is around it’s always a fun time with her, sometimes I have to say “ok, mom enough” and we laugh. My mother is always lifting others up and she always has an encouraging word for someone. My mother by far has had the greatest and most lasting impact on me; she is always there for me and has never let me down. My mother is the epitome of what it means to love unconditionally. She loves my siblings and I no matter what we do; she is always there for us and always gives us an encouraging word or quoting a verse from the Bible.…

    I believe that it is not only my destiny, but also my passion for helping sick people that keep me working hard in the medical field. My childhood sowed the seeds of my passion for medicine. When I was in the first year of my elementary school, my family started to experience serious financial difficulties as my father was cheated by his friends. Thus, we could only visit a physician assistant when we were sick. My heart was broken when my father was diagnosed with heart disease and we could not afford to visit a cardiologist. I felt sad and helpless when my siblings had severe typhoid fever and measles. I wept when my sick dogs died one after another because we did not have the money to pay for the veterinarian. Thus, as a little girl, I firmly decided that I will study hard and was adamant to become a competent doctor who will be able to cure a lot of sick people and sick animals.…
