"I will strive to be an effective physician assistant" - SOP Why I want to be a PA [4]
If some one could please give me some insight on my essay for PA school, it will be greatly appreciated. This is what I have started on, just don't know where to go from here.
Becoming a Healthcare Provider has been a dream that I have worked hard to obtain all my life. I feel I can best serve people in the capacity of a Physician Assistant. The passion I have for caring and nurturing people has really motivated and driven me to the point I am in my life. As we live in times of uncertainty and economic despair it is very disheartening to know that there are people who cannot afford proper medical attention. It is quite disturbing knowing that people have to chose paying an electric bill or seeing a doctor for a medical condition. As a PA, I can do my part to give back to the communities that are suffering and the ones that are in dire needs for Healthcare Providers to reduce their cost to help. I will be able to reach back and provide some sort of relief financially to help take away the burden of deciding to see the physician or pay my utilities. I am aware of not being able to save the world, but if I can save one person as a PA, that would make it all worth it to me. Caring for people and providing them the medical attention they need is why I want to be a PA.
In my immediate family I am the first to attend and graduate from college. I also will be the first to obtain a masters degree and so this is why I continue to push my self to be successful. I also want to set a great example for my daughter by showing her that you can do anything you put your mind to no matter what obstacles are against you. At this point in my life I feel that I am at a better place mentally and physically to help others. I strive to be of service to my community and help those who can't help themselves. I have always been a hard worker, a go getter, and someone who loves people. Throughout all of my experiences I have sharpened my skills, gained new perspectives, knowledge, ideas, and encountered great people to help me develop into the person I am today. I will use what I have gained and what I have yet to learn to provide care to those who might otherwise have little or no access to quality healthcare. I will be a great PA because I am driven, ambitious, determined, and committed to providing great healthcare to patients. Just knowing that I can put a smile on my patient's face, putting their cares and concerns to rest, and providing answers to many challenging healthcare questions are among the many reasons I will strive to be an effective physician assistant.
