Explain Why I Want To Be A Psychiatrist

Improved Essays
You ever wanted to be a help to the world by just talking? All my life the people I was surrounded by were either happy or upset. They’ll be happy one day and then upset the next day. I’m not stating that this was unusual but it was how people lived. They had personal family problems that they always kept bottled up and never told anybody how they were feeling. I was normally very good at noticing when people had issues. Their voice would have a creaking door sound, or any limbs, including fingers would shake unusually. To me growing up every time that someone asked me what I wanna be when I grow up I always said a professional basketball player. Then I realized that basketball is an emotional sport. If you are happy you perform better, you take good shots and good choices. Some people have the skills and the heart to train to be a professional basketball player but what people don’t realize that your heart makes you who you are. I believe that being a life coach (psychiatrist) in anyway would be the best career for me. …show more content…
My reason is because making people feel better has always been my strong suit. If someone is upset or depressed I think of it as a race to be the first one to try and make them feel better. What you are probably thinking right now is “is this guy even human, does he ever get upset?” My fully put and true honest answer is that yes I do feel down from time to time but it is never longer than 5 minutes. Even when my family is not the type of family that can give a random stranger money and not be at all worried about paying any bills. I never think about things like that because there is nothing that I could do make my family the wealthiest family on Earth. So my question to you is “why be upset about something if you can’t do anything about it?” my next question is “if you can do something about it then why aren’t you doing

    I want to become a physician-scientist because I want to work at the interface between basic science research, which has the power to elucidate new knowledge, and clinical medicine, which has the ability to translate scientific discoveries to a deliverable form that can directly help the patients in need. For three years, I studied the role of tumor microenvironment on breast cancer metastasis in Dr. Semenza’s laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. As I studied the role of Hypoxia-inducible factor on integrin expression and subsequent cell motility, I learnt that cancer is a multi-faceted disease that consists of a web of multiple biological mechanisms as well as other arenas of science.

    At an early age, my parents drilled into me the golden rule treat others the way you want to be treated. It has been my mantra since, and why my strongest skill is compassion. Compassion is caring about another person's happiness as if it were your own. Compassion focuses itself only on the potential all people have for good, ignoring everything else. Over time, I have improved in this skill by being a Sunday school teacher at my church, and being a peer mentor at my school.…

    My entire life I have always wanted to do something where I would be remembered positively by many people. I recall always telling myself I was going to become a backup dancer for a famous singer, become a singer myself, or maybe an actress. Better yet, I thought I could have been all three. As I entered middle school, I realized those goals were too surreal to even become the slightest bit possible, mainly since I am located in an area that most people haven’t even heard of. Back then, I was very uncertain about any career goals I have had.…
