Physics Personal Statement

It is never too late to find something you are passionate about. I was a business major my first two years of college when I had my first conversation with a physicist teaching astronomy. I will always remember that day when I knew I wanted to pursue physics, but it was going to be the biggest change in my college experience and life. These drastic adjustments in classes and material was intimidating at first, but the fascinating material allowed my determination to take over. A universe of matter, energy and interactions that could tell about everything around me. The importance of this discipline was so prominent in many different fields, but the medical field had a seemingly considerable impact on lives, and I wanted to know more.

Just a few of these important skills include self-advocacy, persistence, and time management. In my life and undergraduate education, I have developed these abilities. I learned self-advocacy after I switched majors two years into school, persistence in my radiology physics research to tackle complicated projects, and time management as I worked a part time job or two during my college education to pay my own bills and housing. Switching to physics was difficult but not a deterrent to my education which added a formidable two years to my graduation date. This subject became an encouragement to pursue a deep developing passion and interest in science. I worked to discipline myself through practice, research, and study of the subject. These skills are exactly what is needed to be successful in a medical physics …show more content…
I saw this while working with Brent Colby and Ryan Bosca, Diagnostic Medical Physicists at Sanford Health Fargo. With friendly demeanors, determination, and effective communication, they can efficiently advise the radiology department in understanding and overcoming problems. These physicists, affect thousands of patients a year and inspired me to look deeper into the technology and what it can do for us. They taught me I can also use my innovative aptitude for medical physics to find and enhance results. They showed me it is possible to make it my aspiration to advance the medical profession and improve lives.
My avid persistence, time management skills, and research experiences have prepared me for this graduate program and make me the competent and competitive candidate you are looking for. I believe a professional track in the Masters Medical Physics program is an incredibly useful and applicable program, and I would like to be involved. It is the correct fit to combine my personal and professional goals where I am always looking to improve techniques and practices. Your program would be an exciting, important step, and I would hope to gain enough experience to transition beyond the program and into the medical
