    My experiences, academic background and personality are three key aspects of my life that make the medical field a preference and a particularly suitable field for me.

Riding on ambulances and volunteering at the squad provided much-needed insight into the field and taught me valuable skills, such as patient care and effective communication.

    I am David Shane Dobyns, twenty-two years of age; I was born in Puyallup Washington, August 17th 1994 at the Good Samaritan hospital.
