As a child‚ I’ve been told I was quite inquisitive and creative. My imagination was just like any other child‚ but my pretend world was vast and extended throughout my youth‚ as a whole. I guess one could say that I’ve never stopped imagining. As I get closer and closer to my academic goals‚ I can now imagine myself as that English teacher in South Korea‚ or that social worker who gave a child a better life‚ or even a content creator who makes art films. These are all my dreams‚ and with some help

Through vaporized solder the diode flashed red. Lub-Dub‚ Lub-Dub. It works! After weeks‚ my digital stethoscope was finally functioning as I had designed. The project started with the simple ambition of listening in on my preceptor’s stethoscope while he performed a heart exam‚ but ended up answering an imperative question about my medical future. In that moment I realized that my varied interests‚ individual strengths‚ and desire to be challenged converged into a single medical field; radiology

“I want to be a ballerina princess”. You see‚ the difference between a regular princess and a ballerina princess is the elegance. Ballerinas held an elegance and ferocity during performances that were sensational. On the other hand‚ Disney princesses always had their happy endings and by combining both‚ my goal was set. Soon enough‚ ballet performances and Disney movies about princesses clouded my practicality with absurd idealism. Growing up and realizing that pursuing my career as a princess was

The thought of not furthering my education was never an option for my siblings and I. From a young age we were told that the only way to succeed in this world is to work hard and be kind. I believe that furthering my education will help in both of these areas for a couple of reasons. Attending a very diverse university such as Mizzou will provide me the opportunity to meet new people and experience what the world has to offer other than the small sample of it that I get in Monroe City. I will also

One year ago my life changed forever through a spectacular event‚ childbirth. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I have always wondered‚ what do I want to do the most in my life and where do I aspire to be? My experience has helped me answer that question. I now recognise how important it is to educate mothers on looking after a new‚ innocent life as well as educating them on looking after themselves‚ not just before the baby is born‚ but also postnatal. The role of a midwife is diverse and unique

Howard University Howard University is a private school that was founded/ created in 1867. 7‚147 people haven’t graduated from there. It is in Washington D.C. This is in Virginia. This school has 33% male and 67% female. I think this is very impressive because‚ since I am a girl‚ this is a very great thing. It shows that women are taking more responsibility in their lives. At first I thought Black Colleges would be bad because they have a separate college for black people and usually black people

Being the oldest of three children‚ I always strive to set a great example for my younger siblings to follow. Additionally‚ I had incredibly high expectations set by my parents after older relatives failed to pursue college once they graduated high school. Growing up as a Mexican-American female‚ most people doubted I would ever amount to anything. Fortunately‚ I always had a great interest in my academic studies. Prior to audiology‚ I believed my future profession would consist of being a pediatrician

Exhilaration‚ anticipation‚ and a heightened awareness of myriad details - these were the emotions I experienced the first time I encountered a case on my first night shift in ICU in my early fourth year of medical school. Hundreds of cases later‚ I am every bit as enthusiastic each time I step into the ICU. In the light of this and several other reasons‚ I am confident about my pursuit of a career in internal medicine. “One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is
