PERSONAL STATEMENT
My motivation to become a good doctor came from my desire to serve the unprivileged and underserved. It gives me immense satisfaction to help those who are in need. Albert Einstein's saying "only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile" strikes a deep chord in my heart. I was also inspired by Mother Theresa who dedicated her life for serving the poor.

I was more enticed to children because of their clean and untarnished minds, innocence of thoughts and the affection they show towards us. I believe that at this stage of life they should have sound health otherwise their mental growth will be hampered. They should be inculcated with proper health habits and practices which will most likely make them become healthy adults. I will be enthralled in dealing with preventive health education in children and counseling for other teenage problems like pregnancy etc. upon entering medical school and after being exposed to all areas of medicine, I leaned more towards pediatrics because of its analytical and deductive reasoning to approach diagnosis even from seemingly minor symptoms and laboratory results. Although enormous in volume, its simplicity has often enamored me. I felt most satisfied after completing my pediatrics medicine rotation than any other rotation. I was amazed by the complex and labyrinthine interconnectedness of the body systems. My keen sense of observation helped me to focus on all systems rather than one, ultimately leading me to the correct diagnosis. During the 7 weeks I spent at Maricopa Medical center, Phoenix to gain hands-on clinical experience, distinguished clinicians like Dr.Parker and Dr.Dachman taught me invaluable lessons about the ethical issues unique to health care system in this country. My duties included obtaining history and physical examination on each patient, ordering pertinent
