After reflecting on my first semester of college, I feel that I have truly begun to develop a clear plan for my life. During my undergraduate education I want to pursue a major in Biomedical Engineering; however, my heart is still firmly set on a career as an Emergency Medicine Physician in the United States Army Medical Corps. I strongly desire to give back to my country for all the freedoms I have received and I also want to serve others by relieving patients of their pain and curing their illnesses. In order to achieve this goal, I plan to take advantage of the many opportunities that OSU offers. I want to get involved with undergraduate research and be an active member in clubs pertaining to engineering as well as medicine, specifically the Society of Women Engineers and the A.E.D. Pre-Health Honorary. Furthermore, I desire to excel in my classes by going to my professor’s office hours and utilizing tutoring services that OSU provides. I also plan to balance my academic, social, and extra-curricular commitments by making detailed schedules while efficiently managing my time to minimize stress. Additionally, I want to practice mindfulness and be where my feet are so I can enjoy every little moment in life. During my time at OSU I hope to participate in enriching academic opportunities and enjoy the wonderful memories college offers, but most importantly, I want to be flexible with wherever my life will take me no matter how much it may deviate from my plan; ultimately, whatever happens in my life is the way it was meant to be. Nevertheless, I am going to embrace every moment, both the good and the bad, from this day forward.
My parents are truly the two most important people in my life and their constant love and support has made me the ambitious and resilient woman I am today. They continuously motivate me to be the best person I can be and I want nothing more than to make them proud through my personal achievements.
My dream is to become an Emergency Medicine Physician in the United States Army Medical Corps. One day I hope to be working in a combat hospital, saving people’s lives while protecting our freedom as just a small token of my gratitude for everything our country has given me.
After I serve several years in the United States Military, I hope to continue my work as an Emergency Medicine Physician in some major U.S. city, like NYC. By working in a hospital in a city, I will be able to give back to the residents of the surrounding community by helping them with their medical needs.
