While I was born in Hong Kong, I immigrated with my family to the United States when I was seven years old and have since lived in Salisbury, Maryland, which I consider my home. I always had a passion for biology and medicine and was thrilled to learn that a career in pharmacy was within my grasp after searching through a local community college catalog in 20011. Not long after this discovery, I found great success as a student in the college’s “Pharmacy ...

Personal Statement
Throughout my professional career, many people have asked me the same question, “What motivates you?” My answer always begins in the same way, “When I was growing up, I never truly experienced childhood, or what most people would consider a ‘normal’ teenage life.” Through a series of compounded decisions by my family, at six years old, I started taking care of my younger brother and mother when it became apparent that she was mentally unstable and could not lead our family. I continued to care for my brother day and night in our small one ...

I believe that the nursing profession is one of the noblest professions in the world. Indeed, this can even be traced back to its pioneers such as Florence Nightingale who concerned themselves with looking after those who were injured during the war. Like any other person, they could have chosen to sit on the fence and avoid doing anything. On the contrary, they immersed themselves in the war, not to fight, but to look after those injured during the war. This was irrespective of which side they belonged to. The care that Florence Nightingale and other pioneers provided to ...

Serving others is as essential to my existence as breathing. When I was only 12 years old, I was a Special Olympics volunteer where I trained and supervised both horses and riders in the equestrian competition. My dedication to the service of others has also found expression through my work with the American Cancer Society's "Look Good, Feel Better" program, where I cut and fitted wigs, as well as taught make-up techniques to cancer patients while they underwent chemotherapy. In addition, I proudly served a local battered women's shelter by providing haircuts to its residents. I strongly believe that ...

My desire to become a physician began during my teenage years while watching my father be treated for rheumatic heart disease. The dedication and caring that the physicians exhibited created a lasting impression on me. As my father recovered, my passion for medicine steadily increased. I soon realized that medicine was not just a career, but rather a way of life. Medicine requires dedication, perseverance, patience, and empathy, and I had set myself to master these traits and become a caring physician in the vein of my father’s doctors.
Medicine in my native Libya was a very hard track to enter. I dedicated ...

I have always envisioned working closely with people in an intellectually stimulating environment, and, to my mind, a profession of pharmacist is one of the best ways to achieve this, combining the analytical thinking of a scientist with the empathy of a medical worker.
The decision to become a health care provider did not come out of nowhere. Possessing a pharmacy heritage, made it a lot easier for me to select the field I would like to develop in. When I was a child, shadowing my father and watching him counseling patients was a common thing for me. I saw him giving advice about the best ...

My passion for medicine was developed through the hope of a young girl. “Put on the scrubs,” the Psychiatrist told me as we entered the sterile hospital room of a sixteen-year old girl. I stood next to the doctor as she talked to the girl, a girl whose face and body were so completely wrapped in gauze it would have been difficult for her to cry. “Will my skin go back to normal?” she asked. The physician answered honestly, “I do not know for sure, even though the flesh-eating bacteria that deprived you of your skin is gone, it could leave scarring--but ...

With the variety of programs, flexible schedules and affordable payments I will be able to pursue many options, but medical school is my dream and I believe medical school can make that dream a reality. To start experiencing the fun, yet academic, college experience, gaining knowledge and skills, and enhancing my career and professional life overall would mean the world to me. There are several things that shaped my decision to pursue my life long goal of practicing medicine; situations that ...
