Essay on what you want to be when you grow up

As a child, we are
usually asked one
question very
early on in life, in
the moment we
might not know
but it one of the
biggest questions
we will ever be
asked. What do
you want to be
when you grow
up? Most children
will say they want
to be a doctor,
teacher, police
officer, etc. When
I was asked what
I wanted to be
when I grew up,
my answer would
vary between
giraffeopologist
(the name I gave
to people who
studied giraffes),
a witch, or a mad
scientist. My
answer started to
change the years
passed, I grew
older, became
wiser and started
to discover who I
am and what I
was really
interested in, the
human body and
mind. At the age
of thirteen I
figured I had
watched enough
criminal minds to
classify my self as
a criminologist,
but in march of
2013 I on a
mission trip that
completely
changed my mind
and made me
certain that I
wanted to be a
part of doctors
without boarders.
First of all, I am
going to take you
back to 2011
when me and my
family packed up
and shipped off to
south africa where
my father grew
up. We started in
Capetown and
journeyed all up
the coast to
Durban. On this
trip I got the
chance to see a
lot of poverty and
how much we
take what we
have for granted.
From that
moment on I
knew I needed to
do something that
would make a
difference. When
the opportunity
arose for me to
participate in a
Habitat for
Humanity mission
trip I jumped at
the offer, which
led to me
spending last
march break in
Hawaii. While
exploring volcano
national park with
my group, a friend
of mine fell on
extremely sharp
volcanic rock and
was left with a
large gouge on
her knee, as she
laid there in a
dais I watched as
the look of fear
and panic made
its way across all
of my teachers
faces, none of
them knowing
what to do. Being
a person who
works well under
pressure I knew
that I needed to
help and my
lifeguard training
allowed me to do
so. It was in that
life changing
moment, while I
was applying
pressure to this
girl’s wounds, that
I started thinking
about being a
doctor.
