letter I want to become a doctor in life
Answers
Explanation:
Some pre-medical students have known that they would become doctors ever since they picked up their first toy stethoscope. Others have had a singular catalytic event that changed their career goals forever. The origins of my own desire to become a physician have been less dramatic, but equally sound. As a child, whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I answered with a rainbow of possibilities, including fireman, policeman, musician, and of course, doctor. Being a doctor appealed to me because doctors seemed smart, responsible, helpful, and — in some vague sense I could not quite define — “cool.” They cured the sick and fended off nasty diseases. They discovered new treatments and dispensed old remedies. They eased the dying process, even occasionally pulling patients back from the dead. It seemed like they could do just about anything.
As I grew older, I gained experience that shaped this childhood assessment of a doctor’s job into a more realistic perspective; the more I learned about research and clinical work, the more confident I became that I want to be a physician. In high school, I discovered that I excelled in the sciences. My aptitude and interest grew simultaneously, fueling each other in a sort of feedback loop. I was thrilled to realize that the biology, chemistry, and physics classes I enjoyed so much were fundamentally related to medicine; I could both satisfy my love for the basic sciences while helping individual patients as a “cool” doctor. I decided that I wanted to be a physician who also does basic science research.
