Why I Chose Medical School

Both my parents are in the medical field and have pushed me to go that way as well. They have always told me that, “you will always have a job in the medical field.” My senior year has been booked full of great opportunities for my future. By the end of the school year, I will be a working woman as a CNA. All my life I have followed in my parents footsteps and now I will go into the real world to make my own. Dermatology is the field that I am heading toward and my path to success starts now. Eight years ago my grandpa passed away from melanoma (skin) cancer. He went through tough chemo and only had a year to live. The doctors said he would only make it to Christmas but kept fighting and made it four more months. He was a truck driver and
I could start it before I launch my Dermatology practice. I have always had my mind set on starting my family in my twenties. With all of the schooling and building a business will I have time to start a family at such a young age. As I pursue my dreams of Dermatology, I need to fit room to make a family.

He started out by wanting to become a psychologist at a school. He then decided that it wasn’t for him and he went into the respiratory route. He calls himself “a glorified snot sucker.” He has pushed me to become the best person I can be and to do what makes me happy. My family has had a big impact on my decision to become a Dermatologist. Family is a big aspect in my future and I hope to raise a great one. I want to find a man who is as passionate about what he does as much as I am. Dermatology has had such an impact on my family’s life that it is the right field to go into. I want to become a better person for my kids and for my patients that I will take care of.

The patients that I take care of will get the best doctor that has been raised by a great family and a great
