    My area that I intend to major in is neonatal nursing because it’s been my dream to be a nurse where I get to help people who are in need, but to be a neonatal nurse is where my heart has fallen into. One huge reason why I am driven to become a neonatal nurse is because my experience with neonates is a tough one as I had lost my newborn sister on a tuesday of August 16 of 2016 (this date is ingrained in my head forever) to nothing. Doctors gave no explanation to why she died, one minute her heartbeat is higher than 100 beats per minute and the next minute it was dropping down to 95- 85 beats per minute. With a hope of getting my sister 2 months before her due date and finally getting a chance to welcome her after 13 years of trying, my mom was rushed down to labor and delivery while the staff all sprinted down to help. I never thought I would hold a dead newborn in my hands, especially my sister.…

    The study of medicine has evolved over thousands of years from something of an enigma governed by religious spheres to the highly specialized science of preventing, treating, and curing diseases of the human body. While my interest in becoming a physician did begin with a love of natural sciences, it has, like the study of medicine, evolved into something much larger than topics covered in my general biology courses. I want to work with people on managing their conditions, learn from doctors before me as well as patients, and be a positive influence despite often-negative diagnoses. Individuals all have different reasons for wanting to attend medical school, but I believe that we are either called to practice medicine or we are not. I am drawn…
