I have learned the importance of education not so long ago. I had been what others would call "the stupid kid." I went to the hospital only a few times in my life, only one that I can remember now; Cooper University Hospital. I came upon this opportunity of going to Cooper Hospital by finding a place to volunteer for. Fortunately, my best friend's mom worked as a computer technician at Cooper, so my friend and I were easily admitted into volunteering.
During my few weeks of volunteering at Cooper, I not only learned the basics of treating patients, but I also found the fundamentals doctor and patient relationships. I found this to be a great bond. I imagined myself as a patient being cared for by a warm, nice and intelligent doctor. Then I thought of the great things I could do if I were a doctor. However, I knew at my current level, dreaming of becoming a doctor was out of my league. I never wanted anything more in my life than to become the doctor I imagined myself as.
For the first time in my life, I had set a goal that I had determination for. After setting my goal, I wrote a list of what I had to achieve in order to obtain the position as a doctor. The first on my list was bringing up my grades. Today, I look back and compare the grades I received in my three years of middle school and my first two years of high school, and my last two years of high school. I am making daily progress and I feel I am getting closer each day. Just recently, I have accomplished one of the tasks in my list; I was accepted into taking the AP Biology course. Although the course has been difficult, I find myself occasionally interacting with the teacher and students around me during lectures. Biology has been a pleasure to have and it has become one of my favorite classes.
The next task on my list is to get accepted into college as Biology major. I feel that if I were an undergraduate at Drexel University, I could further my accomplishments and get to the point where I become a doctor.
