What are your career goals and how did you develop them? general physician
It's not always best to start with a quote. It can work, but it's something that many people do and you're basically just using what someone else said to express your own ideas. You might as well just state what the quote says yourself. I like your personal story about Charles although that would fit better at the start of the essay.
You could mention Charles and how that experience has led to an interest in medicine and a desire to help your community by becoming a general physician. Additionally, you might want to discuss why the university you want to attend can help you achieve that goal. Universities like it when they have a student with a goal that plans on using them to achieve it. Interest and motivation are great, but if you discuss your goals in more detail and explain why this university will help you achieve them, you should have no problem getting admitted. You probably will even with this essay.
Good work so far.
