How many of us have lived up to our childhood dreams? I am very glad that I can give a positive answer to this question. Even as a child, I still remember draping my mothers saree around me, I would carry my toy stethoscope around prescribing medicines to my grandparents. I have chosen a career in medicine as it has always been my dream, to be a good doctor and serve my country. In a medical profession, doctors are meant to be understanding, caring and social people. As I believe I have the above qualities, along with my friendly nature and desire to help others, I cannot even think of another profession that would suit me better. Furthermore, my intrest in studies have always been towards Biology and as my mother says 'I have done well only in Biology', so as I am keen on learning about the human body, various aspects of it in disease conditions and applying my knowledge practically, I have chosen to pursue medicine Also, my aunt, who is a doctor, has played a very influential role in my life. I have always considered her as my role model and therefore always tried to follow her footsteps. There are numerous occasions where I have seen strangers come up to her, thanking her for helping them, numerous occasion where I have seen people praise her, these have helped me understand the valuble service she has done. Finally in my opinion a career in medicine is a nobel profession. It is a humble and simple way of helping various people, doing social work and performing a great service for your country. It is a career in which its greatness is not estimated by the number of dollar bills earned per month, but by the number of lives that were saved each day!
