Personal Narrative: My Future As An OB/GYN

Improved Essays
My Future as an OB/GYN I’ve always strongly considered my future. Even as a kid I just couldn’t wait to grow up and do “big kid” things. However, kids have a tendency to think more of unrealistic careers, like being a princess. Even though I still think I’m going to be a princess, I had to pick a more rational career. When I was in 6th grade, my sister found out she was pregnant. Most of my friends’ moms were still having kids, so it was not only a big deal to me to have a baby in my family like my friends, but it was also a big deal because I was going to be an aunt.

    As I see the sun rises up, hear the birds’ chirps, and hear the chickens utters a loud, harsh noise. It’s a new day and another day in the farm in Oriental Mindoro.

As I sat down at the corner of the table, we started recalling our childhood memories.…

    Growing up I never had a clear idea of what I wanted to do as a profession. No inclination of something that amazed me or pushed me toward it. I eventually chose what I thought would be a good stable career simply because it would be a financially good choice but it never seemed like something I could stick with or love. I discounted anything from the medical field because everyone was going there and I didn't want to be a lost number of people rushing to the same career, I wanted to be a little different.…

    The anesthesiologist profession is intriguing because it stands out from other health professions. It is a more specialized, critical, and high-pressure job, but still different from what a surgeon does. I thoroughly enjoyed AP Chemistry in high school, where we had labs and studied various topics including mixing of beakers and equilibrium charts, but I realize this is only a taste of what anesthesiology is. I wanted to learn more about it through interviewing a veteran anesthesiologist from my hometown, Oklahoma City. I interviewed Dr. Paul Le, my friend’s uncle, because he has been a board-certified anesthesiologist for about eighteen years and seems to have a nice, balanced life between work, family, and hobbies.…

It felt weird to say we were the oppressed group because we are women, yet I never felt that until I got into college. I never had to think about being a woman, only at times did I ask myself why was I born a woman. I think I felt weird due to being the oldest in my family, my family consists of my parents, my younger sisters and I.…
