A variety of factors influenced my decision to pursue my studies in becoming a PA

A variety of factors have influenced my decision to pursue my studies in becoming a Physician Assistant. What began to solidify my interest in medicine was in large part due to growing up with my grandmother. Today my grandmother is 95 years old and is still physically active but suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The symptoms of her Alzheimer's began to appear in my early teenage years and at times it was very difficult for my parents to live with and to take care for her. When they grew frustrated, however, I would speak up for her and urge my parents to be more patient with her, because I knew that caring for someone with a deteriorating short term memory can be a challenging endeavor for everyone involved. I grew to enjoy the idea of playing a pivotal role in someone's health, of having a high level of responsibility for someone, and I subscribe to the notion of being a lifelong learner in a vocation that truly helps people. Though I have since participated in a number of internships and shadowing opportunities, my natural empathy and compassion are byproducts of my childhood.

A variety of internships and shadowing experiences have exposed me to what a day in the life of a PA could be like. Throughout my work in different hospitals and from my experience in shadowing various PAs, I have been able to ask questions about the profession so that I can truly reflect upon my motivations for becoming a PA. My desire to become a PA began during my freshman year of college. As I contemplated what occupation would both allow me to use my natural interpersonal skills and be intrinsically rewarding, a career in medicine quickly came to mind. As an intern, I have witnessed many procedures, but the one that stands out to me is the Cesarean section delivery I was able to watch during an Emergency Medical Technician clinical. I believe that from the moment I held the newborn, my desire to become a PA was solidified. I knew that even though the path to PA school would be difficult, it was the right path for me. As a current a full time Patient Care Technician at Sacred Heart Hospital, I have learned the importance of having patience, being professional and showing compassion toward my patients. My work as a PCT has given me a better understanding of how the medical team works together to meet the patients' needs.

Although I have had academic difficulties along the way in earning my bachelor's degree, I believe there is something to be said about resolve to maintain my career goals in the face of setbacks. I can attribute a lot of my personal fortitude and discipline to my times as a competitive tennis player. I have failed, yet where I have failed I have become more experienced and more mature. I do not believe that one can summarize me by simply looking at my academic resume. My academic stumbles came early, and I have been on a steady path toward improvement and daily refinement since. I believe that if you are capable, you should pursue your vision of yourself with vigor even when others tell you differently. I have confidence that my capabilities that will lead to success in a PA school, and as the months go on, I will continue to diversify and improve my knowledge and experience. Everything I am currently doing is geared toward preparing me for a career in medicine. I am not afraid of failure, nor am I afraid of working hard to achieve my goals. I believe it is time I get highly invested in the process of realizing my dreams and I believe I would be a great candidate for your school.

My introductory character building started in fifth evaluation when my father decided to begin an intense scene change venture. Obviously, he required help, along these lines I was the first individual he solicited. I went outside energized by the thought of being payed for "how hard I lived up to expectations." The consolidation of the money related motivator on top of the chance to make my father glad started a centered longing to do my absolute best when I worked for him. The undertakings continued nearing, yet the cash did not. I ended up fearing each time my Father needed to work outside, knowing my aid might be asked.

The consolidation of the money related motivator on top of the chance to make my father glad started a centered longing to do my absolute best when I worked for him. The undertakings continued nearing, yet the cash did not. I ended up fearing each time my Father needed to work outside, knowing my aid might be asked. I used the dominant part of my weekends in center school working outside from sunset till first light. I scorned each minute ofit. It wasn't until I was in High School, and the working had diminished, that I understood the man my Father had molded me into. I was worked extremely hard, viewing and dissecting the way my companions took care of scenarios and met expectations, I was hit with an actuality of comprehension and gratefulness for what I had once contemplation was my Father's remorselessness. My hard working attitude was unlike anybody around me, and I knew it was because of the way my father had developed me. After this acknowledgment, I took the determination and diligent hard working attitude that I had studied and connected it to all zones of my existence: Physically, scholastically, rationally, and profoundly. My steady determination and drive for the advancement of my scholarly, physical, and otherworldly development have permitted me to turn into a pioneer and a virtuoso in an extensive variety of exercises.

In the course of recent years at Suncoast High School I have enduringly demonstrated my determination for scholarly fabulousness. Expanding the challenge of my classes while raising my evaluations every year has turned out to be a testing, yet accomplishable undertaking. I have accepted recompenses in numerous zones of study from science, to dialect abstractions, to even mechanical building. I have a profound covet for information and strive to perform my best in each subject and class.

Aside from my scholastic life, I encompass myself in physical exercises to keep my physique fit, utilitarian, and to push the breaking points of my physical and mental abilities. I am presently chief of the Varsity wrestling group at our school. I grabbed wrestling rather rapidly after perviously preparing other hand to hand fighting for 9 years, and realizing first degree dark sash in Tae Kwon Do. An alternate enthusiasm of mine is parkour. Parkour is an order in which professionals figure out how to overcome deterrents (both physically and rationally). Regular moves comprise of vaults, accuracy bouncing, and arriving securely from high drops. Parkour has fortified me physically and permitted me to do things I couldn't have imagined of doing when I first started preparing. In addition to everything else, parkour has taught me to acknowledge whats before me, and make the most out of it in spite of the circumstances. Through parkour, I have discovered that I don't have control of what's to come, and I just have control of the present minute. When you're existing in the minute is the point at which you can do noteworthy things that other individuals can't grasp. I have been honing parkour for four years now and I am at present the Palm Beach County Representative for Florida Parkour. I form and help develop nearby neighborhoods by instructing assemblies, and setting up workshops and "Jams" the whole time Florida where people can come to study utilitarian fitness and parkour. I utilized my information to land me work at Keep Flippin' Gymnastics where I mentor parkour & freerunning, and also aerobatic.

When I think back ten years from now, I need to see the contrast I've made in the lives of others and the individuals around me. At the start of my lower classman year in secondary school, I took an excursion to Casa Shalom, a halfway house in Guatemala, where I established the framework for a church and watched over the kids there. The stories they told were awful and spine trembling. The measure of disaster that had struck these youngsters at such a youthful age was wrecking. My group and I went out into the city and volunteered at a nourishing focus where we saw business as usual disaster. It was then that I acknowledged how segregated I was from whatever remains of the planet. It was just about disturbing how lavishly I was existing contrasted with the destitution of these individuals. Yet around all the kids at the encouraging focus, and all the vagrants I developed to know and love, there was still trust and euphoria. Delight filled them every day that they were given an alternate chance on this Earth. This propelled me and gave me a yearning to help and adore individuals like them, and like each minute and chance I'm honored with. I felt purge landing back in the US knowing part of my heart was left there. I returned again this past summer and I am presently supporting two youthful young men from the halfway house. I started tackling a film undertaking to raise mindfulness and supports for the youngsters living there. I realize that I can't change the planet all as soon as possible, however I implore, with every small step.
