I know that this isn't the cookie cutter "my parents raised me this way" answer, but I thought it was relevant to the prompt. I was hoping it would be interesting for the reader.
the prompt: There is a Quaker saying: ''Let your life speak.'' Describe the environment in which you were raised-your family, home, neighborhood, or community-and how it influenced the person you are today. (200-250 words)
I am awoken early on a Tuesday morning by sharp pains throughout my hip, collarbone, wrist and hand. Without opening up a single shade in my room I can already tell that it is going to rain today. These concurrent pains are the result of numerous fractures, dislocations, and sprains that I have suffered throughout the course of my life, and they are exacerbated by changes in the barometric pressure of the atmosphere associated with precipitation. Throughout my childhood, my brother and I were involved in just about every sport ranging from ice hockey to snowboarding. Needless to say, over the years I have become closely acquainted with the emergency room setting. Though I recall certain hospital experiences to be more traumatic and gruesome than others, with each visit I always was amazed by how remarkable the physicians who treated me were.
Having thorough experience in the medical field from the patient perspective has certainly influenced my desire to become a physician. I know the feeling of helplessness that patients experience firsthand; the feeling of laying on a hospital bed with a compound fracture, or with a gash so deep that you can see your femur, and depending solely on your doctor to fix your wounds. I want to go into medicine because I am utterly fascinated by science aspect of the healthcare field, and all of the potential innovations and advancements to be made. However I want to become a doctor because I want to be dependable for my patients, just as the physicians who treated me have been.

Any critique on this? I tried to write it in complete honesty
It is a well-known fact that Tufts offers one of the best undergraduate educations in the world. However, the academics are not the sole reason why Tufts is my top choice. I recently became acquainted with a sophomore international relations major at Tufts. She was one of the most vibrant, exceptional people I have ever met. When I inquired about Tufts, she went above and beyond to inform me of how great the school was. She lightheartedly depicted the student body as "Tufts weird," explaining that the community consists of a diverse pool of hard-working students, each with their own unique interests. The way that she described the school, with such enthusiasm and satisfaction, made me certain that Tufts was exactly where I wanted to be; surrounded by remarkable people like her.
