Career Passion

Well ever since I can remember I have been passionate about the medical career. Maybe after my father was bitten by the black-widow, is where i really started to see that, medicine brings joy to people. Because I could see how my dad was laying in bed not moving and I could not do anything about it. This got me thinking and I realized that helping others was what I really enjoyed doing, and what better way to help someone than by saving their lives or by saving a loved one. I can recall the day I found out that my dad was getting better and his vital signs where improving. Through out the whole thing my heart was pounding in my chest so hard that it felt like my ribcage was going to split open. Now today I think about it and I think the same but with a different perspective, before I thought that the only people that had a chance to save someones life was a doctor, but I see that firefighters, policemen do the same, paramedics, people that many times we don't give credit to. I guess what really motivates me is just being able to help someone, because to me there is no better feeling than knowing that you can give someone a hand. now that I think about it, its not all about helping others, but more of the feeling that i get when I help someone. I guess that is what really drives me, because every time i help someone I feel like I'm needed and I'm valued.
