From the first day that I entered Mrs. Vandenburg's tenth grade Anatomy and
Physiology class, I knew exactly which career I was destined for - the
practice of medicine. During the first semester of class, I pored over
every page of my textbook; I was fascinated and challenged by the
structures and systems we dissected and discussed in class. Night after
night, I stayed up memorizing the names of bones and muscles, systems and
processes; I had an insatiable desire for knowledge. Eager to learn more
about the medical profession, I read dozens of books and journal articles
about the lives of physicians and the medical fields in which they serve.
What I read convinced me that I am well suited to a career in medicine.
My unique family background first launched me toward a career in the
service of others. Growing up in a family with eight brothers and sisters,
it seemed that someone always needed my help, either physically or
emotionally. As a big brother to so many siblings, I learned that helping
others in need is more than simply a career choice - I feel that it is my
moral responsibility. Because I am able to help, I feel called to assist
those in need. This has led me to serve my fellow students and citizens in
many ways: as senior class president and a member of our student council,
and as a volunteer in the community and at local hospitals. Each week,
despite my rigorous schedule of coursework and research, I have been able
to help others by volunteering to cook and teach classes at the Wood County
Center for Aging. The smiles from those I help and the wisdom that I gain
from talking over lunch or playing pool with men from the Center reinforces
my commitment to invest my time and energy in the lives of others.
I believe that a doctor's success is best measured by his ability to meet
both the emotional and physical needs of his patients. Although compassion
is a valued character trait, a doctor must commit himself fully to the
pursuit of knowledge in order to provide the highest level of patient
care. I have taken the physician's academic responsibilities quite
seriously, and I have pursued a rigorous and challenging course of study.
Currently, I am attending graduate school at XXX University. My academic
record at XXX clearly indicates my ability to excel at the study of
graduate-level science. I have received a grade of A+ in every class I've
taken, and I have contributed significantly to research on hypertension,
work that will soon be published in the Journal of Endocrinology. In
addition, as a Biology lab teacher, my students have awarded me the highest
rating given to instructors. I believe that through the teaching and
learning experiences I have gained studying for my graduate degree, I am
more prepared than ever to meet the rigorous academic challenges of medical
school.
In the end, though, I believe that it will be my persistence and personal
drive to study medicine that will assure me success in its practice. In
the words of Washington Irving, "Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men
with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence
and determination alone are omnipotent. Great minds have purposes, little
minds have wishes." I intend to apply my determination to becoming a great
physician, that I might help bring physical and emotional healing to those
in need.
