As it stands today, there is no effective cure to treat Parkinson's disease but it is my hope that I can do something to help change that.

Immediately following my high school graduation, I plan to enroll into a university and double major in the sciences, preferably in the areas of biochemistry, microbiology, and/or genetics. After college, I look forward to attending graduate school to earn my doctorate in biology while beginning to work at a position in a laboratory conducting research my chosen field of study.

The vast amount of knowledge that I will be able to take away from the duration of the program shall be key in achieving my goals and ambitions.

I am an excellent candidate for the program because of my wide array of skills and talents. I am excellent with computers as I have spent many hours of my free time disassembling, diagnosing problems, and reassembling them. I also enjoy working with other people as can be seen through the vast amount of time volunteering in my community. The total amount of time I have spent helping to serve my community this year alone totals up to over 170 hours so far.

Along with those two, I am a dedicated working determined to reach a status of excellent in everything that I undertake. I understand the the time and dedication that it requires to become expellent and I am prepared to give the program my all. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Any help revising or suggesting improvements if very much appreciated. I want to be accepted so badly so this essay needs to be in perfect condition by the time I submit. I will try to help others with their writing as you guys help me with mine. Thanks so much to you all!

I would suggest that you start this essay with a description of your reaction when you heard that your father had diabetes or your uncle had Parkinson's, and how the diseases changed their lives and made you want to become a researcher. Then explain that you want to join the program to cure people suffering from diseases.

(Keep in mind, though, that if the program you are applying to is medicine-related, then probably every student applying wants to help people suffering from diseases.)
