Goals

Today, the start of 2016. The start of a new journey, new opportunities, and broadening my knowledge. The start of the beginning of the rest of my life continuously plays through my head.

For programs, mentors, and communities that will help me mold my future along with my classmates. With this desire to achieve wisdom from mentors, doctors, and specialist I decided I wanted to pursue Stanford's Medical Program. For years I have dreamed of becoming a part of the team that continuously heals others. With nothing in mind other than comforting, and guiding each other to health. Believing in the power of medicine itself proves that we as people can change anything we desire to. With all the pain and violence in the world, it gives me peace at mind that I know there are people who stay up at night

I contemplate all the possible ways I can achieve my goal successfully, and I will not stop until it is reached. My goals are not always big. Some of my short term goals may consist of attending every class on time everyday, or eating healthier. As for my long term goal, it has been the same for over a decade.

    I am David Shane Dobyns, twenty-two years of age; I was born in Puyallup Washington, August 17th 1994 at the Good Samaritan hospital. My family consists of mother, father, and brother who live in Germany. Growing up was as idyllic as one could suspect, in my prepubescent years we moved to the states in search of “gods’ plan” for us, starting a church in Texas. The church siphoned our resources to the brink of poverty, but we were happy all the same. Through the eyes of a jaded 5-year-old, everything was but a perfect utopia, neither a problem nor a care in the world.…

    For as long as I could remember, I’ve wanted to be in the medical field. As an aspiring oral surgeon, an avid lover of serving the community, and a fun loving girl always searching for the next adventure, I am extremely grateful for the academic, extracurricular, and community programs I have been involved in throughout my lifetime. When we moved to Texas, one of the first things they told us about was the Northwest Independent School District pre-professional academies. My heart skipped a beat when I learned of the existence of the Academy of Biomedical Sciences and another when I got my acceptance letter in the eighth grade. Two years later, as a second year member of the program, I have been given the opportunity to run centrifuges, undergo extensive micropipette training, and dissect a number of organs including the brain and heart, amongst many other hands-on activities.…

    We are all born with an innate sense of curiosity that presents most clearly in childhood. Throughout my childhood I was easily occupied playing doctor and nursing my stuffed animals back to health- my dad always joked that it was practice for the real thing. I often spent my afternoons only half watching the medical dramas my mother always had on the tv. I only bothered to pay attention to the “good parts” which consisted mostly of the more graphic surgery scenes. While my mother would cringe when presented with the blood and gore I was drawn in, the concept of surgery intrigued me.…

    My journey towards medicine began when my family and I moved to the United States from Venezuela. At the age of ten, I did not recognize the opportunities made available to me. Instead, I was scared of having to live in a new culture and learn a new language. Now as I watch the news of Venezuela and learn of the political turmoil shattering the aspirations of many students, I appreciate having the opportunity to chase my dream of becoming a physician. Being inclined to study medicine was not something I envisioned at a younger age or during my undergraduate career.…
