My_Plan_After_Hs

I am the youngest child of my Korean-American family that immigrated to the United States five years ago. I moved to this country only with the hope of having better life and education. I graduated middle school in Souther California and I am on my path to graduate high school this year. I have set certain goals that I would like to achieve after graduating high school. My plan after high school is to study hard in college to accomplish my dream of becoming a doctor. In specific, I want to go to a four-year college majoring in biology and go to a graduate school for additional four years to get medical degrees. Then, I will go through internship and residency in hospital to practice my skills and experience the works of doctors. My goal of becoming a doctor was motivated spontanuously by seeing doctors help ill patients at a local nursing home. I volunteered at a nursing home called Park View Gardens for four years and I spent most of my volunteer time with the patients by reading them books and helping them in fun activities like BINGO and several physical exercises. I felf graceful when the patients seeked me for help and when I was able to be helping hands in their needs. Every week, I also saw doctors examine each patient's health and the typical warmth touched my heart at each moment. I was inspired by their interminable mercy and love to help ill people and decided to become a helpful doctor who can save someone's precious life in the future. Moreover, I realized the importance of life as I witnessed some patients either lose their breaths or recover from injury and that realization propelled my dream forward. It is very important for me to receive a good education. My plan after high school is to attend a UC school for four years and take all required medical courses in the major of biology. With my interest in biology and my goal of becoming a doctor, I will successfully graduate a four-year college, pass MCAT, and move on to the next level of college, which is a graduate school. I will try to go to UC San Francisco and get required medical degrees such as Ph. D and M.D. so that I can work as an intern and a resident for a few years after I graduate college. At the same time, I will also conduct many volunteer activities during many years in college because I would always want to keep my motivation around me so that I will not be distracted by other factors that might disturb my dream. A doctor is someone who can help someone else in need. They are respected people and are looked to when something is wrong. I am interested in this career because I like helping people. Although school and training are difficult and demanding, it will pay off in the end, when I can make a difference in someone's life. I will pursue my goals after high school and achieve them fully with painstaking effort to have Dr. in front of my name in the future.
