I am not your traditional medical school applicant. I do not have a 4.0 at a fancy big U nor have I helped helpless African children fight malaria, which is a goal of mine, but I digress. I did not make the best choices when I was younger and did not realize my full potential until the age of 21. I attended a semester at a party school when I was 18 and convinced myself school was not for me, when in fact, it was just an excuse to coast by. I never challenged myself at the awkward age 16-20 years old. I waited tables, worked in a warehouse, and did part time labor-intensive work to pay the rent and bills. I did enough just enough to get by. However, when I was 20, everything came into perspective. I was at a party having a great time with my best friend; I was in Louisiana at the time and as they say, “laissez les bon temps rouler”, translated, let the good times roll. That quickly changed. My best friend had a 5-minute long seizure, as everyone looked dumbfounded around him; I quickly took action, put him on his side and called 911. After a couple hours in the waiting room, two doctors…
My dream for the next four years is to achieve a Physician Assistant degree at St. John’s University. As I transition to college from high school, I understand how there is no one in the world besides myself to help me reach my goal and it will require hard work as well as motivation to reach that point. At times, I feel overwhelmed with the struggles that arise in achieving my degree, but that would not stop me from my main point in coming to this school. I am able to connect my experience to the experience the Nolan’s and my dad went through when it was their time to achieve their dreams. I find it to be very lucky to go to school in New York because I am already one step ahead of my game to fulfill my target since New York is the place where there are many opportunities for everyone. Hence, having a motivated outlook on life, everything that is impossible will be…
I will be a great addition to National Honor Society because over the years of growing up I believe I have shown actions of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. I would like to be more engaged at school by performing different service projects as well as hours in helping out our community. As an international student at DCIS, I’ve learned valuable knowledge and experienced different cultural diversity throughout the years. This has helped me to become an independent and responsible individual.…

By the time I entered college, I knew medicine was my calling. (Describe your joy in going to pre-med classes along with your excitement at diving for an A division School then transition with the concussion)…
Leadership is one of the core values a member of the National Honor Society must have. A true leader sets goals and works to achieve them. I believe that I show leadership in all things I do. In sports I am very vocal and give positive encouragement to my teammates. In middle school I stepped out of my comfort zone by running for student council and campaigning against many of my fellow classmates. While I was not be privileged with a spot on student council it forced me to work harder and achieve a spot on the National Junior Honor Society my eighth grade year where I worked with my classmates in planning school functions.…
Being accepted into The National Honor Society would be such an apt opportunity, as well as a privilege. By presenting myself as a member of this prestigious society I aim to also service my community and exemplify myself as a student. I have worked extremely hard to maintain my grades at an “A” and above average for all my scholar life. I have mostly succeeded up until my freshmen year. For personal reasons my average dropped greatly, but as you can probably check I’ve made remarkable improvements and will continue to do so. My long-term life goal is to better myself as much as possible and become a respected member in society. I believe that if allowed the opportunity I will give my greatest efforts into trying to maintain this society’s legacy and reputation. Considering my two older siblings have been members in NHS I think I’m well informed of the goals this organization aims to hold. The fact that I could be a third generation member has motivated me tremendously to try and improve my chances by becoming even more studious and involved in school activities. I would exemplify this organization by always servicing other’s needs before my own while still maintain my exemplary leadership qualities. Being in JROTC for two years has taught me many attributes which would, in time, prove to be very useful for NHS. If I’m allowed to enter I will continue to strengthen my skills for my own well-being as well as my community’s well-being.…
Several procedures available at a med spa Frisco improve an uneven complexion. Blotches, scars, lines and wrinkles age you and prevent you from putting your best face forward. People can renew their complexions with safe laser skin surfacing treatments, including Fraxel ™ and Fractora™. These procedures are usually performed in a matter of minutes in a medical aesthetic facility, and patients resume their normal routine the same day.…
on a job is quite simply learning job duties other than those you were specifically hired to perform. For example, if you are hired as a back office Medical Assistant, you will generally be expected to be able to perform front office Medical Assistant duties such as scheduling patients, calling and confirming appointments, copying files, faxing reports, referrals, and prescriptions. Basically, within the scope of your profession, it is an enormous asset to be able to perform many functions within a medical facility, especially a smaller one. People get sick, take vacations, and leave for new employment regularly, which can result in duties that are usually done by that person needing to be handled by other staff members lest…
After high school, I plan on attending the University of California, Riverside and obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree. In my time in college, I hope to strengthen some of my skills such as independence, perseverance, and determination in order to prepare for a harder education after college. After I graduate college, I plan on taking the Medical College Admission Test in order to attend medical school and become a pediatrician. Being a physician has always interested me, but I did not actually plan on following through with this career until my high school years. I learned it is a very well-paid career and that being a physician for children will make the career more enjoyable.…
I have shadowing experience at North Hills Hospital in North Richland Hills, Texas. Under Dr. Kelly, an Orthopedic Surgeon specializing on the knee, I had the honor of witnessing multiple surgeries with the consent of the patient over the course of three days a week for four weeks and I am always astounded each time I observe the procedure. He shared with me his passion for orthopedics and reconnecting many aspects of peoples lives that were lost because of knee problems. I was able to shadow Dr. Kelly because he had performed surgery on my grandmother and the connection they had maintained. I was always interested in orthopedic surgery but it was not until I shadowed Dr, Kelly that I realized how close to home this area of medicine was. During…
Watching a total knee replacement in high school ignited my interest in medicine. The physician performing the procedure took immense enjoyment and satisfaction from his work while using sterilized versions of the tools my father had taught me to use in woodworking. My motivation to become a physician followed with an interest and aptitude in the basic sciences, as well as experience working with low-income patients living with physical and cognitive deficiencies in a home-healthcare setting. Serving my patients was gratifying, something I have continued through HOPE Clinic and will enjoy for a lifetime. To benefit patients and the community where I practice, I will apply my passion for preventative medical education to address the many chronic…
To understand what fully ignites my spark and makes me fearless, you must first understand where I come from. My name is Idil Guled and I come from a family that is of Somali descent. I am a first generation student, so growing up I always had my parents on my back about how important school was since they weren’t able to finish it themselves. On top of that, because my parents were both unable to obtain a higher level of education, and were only able to provide things that were only of necessity to us. Because of the money that my dad used to make, we were considered to be among the low income households. However, recently my dad got laid off of work due to budget cuts within the company that he worked for and to this day, is still looking for a job that can support a family of eight. In our country today, finding stable jobs that can support a family of such has become very difficult and seems nearly impossible.…
Health care is essential for all no matter which country they call theirs and the United States is no exception and provides a good example of how the creation of insurance has grown into a controversial subject for many reasons. Spikes in costs, illegal claims, insider trading, and various other factors contribute to many issues surrounding costs, risks, greed, and ill settled suits are just a few of the issues. Areas such as price ceilings, economical instabilities, and governances contribute to areas afore mentioned. Health care costs have risen steadily for years. “Health care expenditures reported in 2008 exceeded $2.3 trillion” (Miller, nd) this figure reportedly will increase throughout the 21st century unless the government, employers, and consumers can work together to stem this out of control growth. Over the course of U.S. history, the economics of healthcare have undergone several changes that have all culminated into what it is today. Although several factors come into play in regards to these changes, the primary driver behind these changes have been major advances in medical care techniques and advanced technology such as in the field of diagnostic imaging and surgical services. All these things aside, it is important to illuminate the fact that regardless of the time period, the payment for services and its source have always been a critical factor in how fast and how far healthcare can go.…
