I did not wake up spontaneously one morning and think, “I want to go into medicine.” I did not have a close family member or friend to introduce me to the field. There has not been a life-altering medical adversity in my life. My decision to pursue medicine came from a series of small but significant experiences, each one reinforcing the previous one, that inspired me to become a physician. My love for knowledge and eagerness to discover the unknown reaffirmed my aspiration in the midst of a time of advancement and growth in the medical field. Additionally, my passion for gaining awareness about various cultures, their customs, and their hardships inspired me to pursue becoming a physician. Ultimately, my recent experiences in medicine, my desire to learn more, and my interest in diverse peoples and cultures drive my pursuit of medical school.
The first vivid memory I have is of me being 4 years old and being snuck into the hospital by my father to see my newborn brother. I don’t remember it but my parents say I was especially invested in my mother’s pregnancy, from helping decide between different color onesies to asking every morning if the baby had slept well. Of course, this fascination is commonplace for an only child, and I believe it fueled my interest in the female reproductive system and pregnancy later in life.
My mother was a science teacher when I was around 9, and she would show me documentaries of the gestation process and videos of live births. I was enamored. I knew it was the thing for me when I started to look them up by myself.
As a young woman, I now understand the importance of women’s health care. I know it’s more than just pregnancy, and tied to it are so many myths and misconceptions, taboo topics, and social stigma. It is my determination to help women feel secure, safe, and free of judgment and my passion for women’s health that brings me to you.
My decision to pursue medicine has been fortified by the satisfaction and success in my human physiology and anatomy courses. I am captivated by how complex the human body is and the functions it performs. The aspect that intrigues me the most about medicine is being able to care for someone and make a difference in their life for the betterment of their health, while at the same time having a deep understanding of the processes and mechanisms involved in the human body.
A successful doctor is caring, dedicated and inquisitive. I believe these are qualities that I possess, and by pursuing a career in medicine, I can use these qualities to help everyone I can.
