I've grown up in the Midwest a peaceful, quiet, and nice place. I moved to Long Island last year. I now live an hour away from the city and I've falled in love with it, but New York City is a little too busy for me. Boston is perfect though. It has the city and is rich in history and culture. I've been lucky to visit Boston twice and each time I've loved it, there is so much to do and explore. My love for the city of Boston is one of the reasons that I want to go to Boston Univeristy, but there are more. My goal is to become a physician and work to raise the quality of healthcare in developing countries. I know that Boston University will help me reach this goal with its pre-medical program, and with its accelerated medical program I can get into the field evern faster. With the diversity in the school and it's extensive study abroad program, I will be able to immerse myself and take part in global issues. Boston Univeristy is the place where I will be able to develop as a person both academically and culturally and help me reach my goal.

Please review this essay and help me fix any errors, and tell me what you think. Thank you.

I love Boston because it is rich in history and culture. I've been lucky to visit Boston twice and each time I've loved it. The first time I visitied was when I was in elementary school, and I read that Boston was one of the oldest cities of the U.S. with some of the oldest buildings. I got to see all the buildings, both old and new and I thought what a cool city. In my junior year I visited again with my AP U.S. History class, and it was so exciting. I love history and actually seeing the places where history occurred was amazing. I got to actually stand on the site where the Boston Massacare took place! I knew then that I would love to study here, a place where history is made! Here, I can achieve my goal of becoming a physician and work to raise the quality of healthcare in developing countries. Not only does Boston University have a strong pre-medical program, but its accelerated medical program will allow me to become active in the field of medicine even faster. With the school's strong research environment, research oppurtunities, interships and study abroad programs and the city's plethora of organizations and activities, I can grow and gain experience as a pre-medical student. As many alumini of Boston University have made history, I shall make history too, starting at Boston University.
