My Writing Experience
From a very young age I've always been intrigued by learning. Anytime I would be given a piece of work to do, even in kindergarten, I would always try to challenge myself; writing more then I was supposed to, having the neatest paper in the class, finishing ahead of time, or just creating more work for myself. Now, as I've gotten older, that interested hasn't gone away. Still to this day, I find myself doing extra problems in my math book in an attempt to learn more ways how to solve the problem, or writing an extra version of an essay to see which one had the better literary layout.

By looking a medical career, I feel as if I can do my part to help make that dream become a reality, not only for myself, but also so I can help families that are experiencing things just as mine has a few years
