I always had the dream of becoming an
anesthesiologist ever since I was in middle school and over the summer of 2017
I had a life changing experience that solidified the goals I plan to reach in
my life. I attended the National Student Leadership Conference for medicine and
healthcare, held at Georgia Tech University, and honestly when I found out my
Mom signed me up for this trip I was very annoyed. Of course when the program
came to an end it was pretty evident that “mama knows best.” This program made me
grow personally because I was exposed to many leadership exercises where I met
so many genuine people and made life-long friends. The hands-on activities such
as: dissection, suturing, drawing blood, and a variety of medical activities
were really cool and gave me an idea of what is to be expected as a doctor.
During the conference I participated in lectures with Dr. Richard Marfuggi, a
well-known plastic surgeon, and enjoyed field trips to the medical school Emory
and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which solidified my interest
in the medical field . Being a part of this program was an awesome educational
experience because despite the challenging manner of the conference I gained a
wealth of knowledge about what is expected as a medical expert in the United
States and the steps one must take to ensure a successful career in the medical
field. This career choice is nothing to play with and requires a lot of
motivation, patience, and determination but thankfully I was assured that my
pursuit to become an Anesthesiologist is the career choice for me. The idea
that we graduate next month is unreal, we are about to begin the rest of our
lives and reach unlimited amounts of success. Growing up and joining society as
a working adult is quite difficult and intimidating, but with this educational
experience I am ready for my future.
Find the shape and tell it!
It was very interesting to read your journey on how you decided what career you want to go into. It is good that you're joining multiple programs and events to help and assure you're going on the right path. Great blog post overall!
ReplyDeleteYour post is well written and short to the point. It feels really weird that graduation is literally next month. I, myself, wish to pursue medicine in hopes to become a pediatrician. I attended a program ran by a school of medicine to which it made me want to become a doctor, which gave me one-on-one experience with a doctor. Great job!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finding your true passion and what you want to do as a career! It's so great hearing peers find what they want to do in life and the process that they went through in order to get there. I loved how you talked about your initial reactions to the stuff your mom signs you up for (because I feel the same way sometimes) and then later talked about how those experiences helped you in so many ways. I think your experience shows how important it is to look into your possible career choices to see if it really is the one for you.
