The Day I Wanted to Pursue a Medical Career...

Everyone has a story of the day they found out which career they wanted to pursue. Some found out the career they wanted to pursue at a young age, while others found out later. Today, I'm going to share my story of how I found out that I wanted to have a career in medicine...

 As a young girl, I dreamed of having different jobs. I wanted to be a chef, an inventor, a missionary, a pastor, an artist, a teacher... the list went on!!! But as I got older, I found out that I didn't want to pursue most of the careers I dreamed of having as a young girl. 

During 8th grade, while we were taking Physical Science, I decided that I wanted to become a physicist. I did like physical science (especially when we learned about space and the theories of time travelling), but I had a weird feeling that I didn't really want to be a physicist. 

 When I became a freshman in high school, the school announced that there would be a Pre-Med Club. I decided to go. At that time, I was looking for any opportunity to advance my college resume. I was already a part of our school's Model U.N. Club and was looking forward to being in more clubs. 

 I clearly remembered the day when I entered Pre-Med Club... I LOVED IT!!! I was extremely fascinated, and right after the club I told myself that I wanted to have a career in medicine. 

 My interest in medicine got bigger when we started to learn about the human body in Biology class. At the beginning of the year, I was learning about Kingdom Plantae (and I really didn't enjoy it!). I thought I wasn't going to like Biology the whole year until we started learning anatomy & physiology. When we started learning about the human body, my favorite class changed from Honors World History to Honors Biology. 

 Even to this day, I dream of having a medical career, and I specifically want to be a surgeon (I don't know which one yet!) I want to save lives and share the gospel to the underprivileged around the world. I know for sure that my medical specialty will change as I start doing rotations in my third year of medical school. But in the meantime, I like taking career tests/medical specialty aptitude tests online and watching surgeries on Youtube! (Yes, I know I'm weird!😆)

 I'll end this post with a nice quote...
"Wherever the art of medicine is loved,
there is also a love of humanity."
~Hippocrates

Cesarean Section

Important notice: To those of you who read my posts faithfully, I have something to tell you. If you notice, I publish my posts every four to five days. But as school is approaching, and as my schedule gets tighter I decided that I will write my posts once a week instead of every four to five days. After this post, I will start writing on Fridays.  I'm also curious as to which type of posts you enjoy reading the most on my blog. I want to know which type of posts I should be writing more of.
